Travel Blogs from Namib-Naukluft Park
The awesome Namib
The longest driving day yet. We woke up to traffic noise early in the morning. In a country that is so vast, why did we choose to camp beside its busiest highway?

A must if you want to go and see the sunrise on the red dunes. A nice camp with good facilities. Book in advance at the NWR in Windhoek or Swakopmund.
