Namib Desert & Damaraland Holidays

One of the oldest and largest in the world, the vast coastal Namib Desert stretches over 1200 miles and is home to the iconic towering sand dunes of Sossusvlei. These impressive dunes, carved by the wind into huge, sinuous waves are one of Namibia's top attractions. Nearby, the starkly beautiful clay pan of Deadvlei, is undoubtedly one of Namibia’s most striking sights.

To the north of the Namib Desert lies Damaraland, a rugged and unearthly region that will linger long in the memory. It is probably most famous for the rock art at Twyfelfontein, dating back over 10,000 years, but this region is also home to remarkable Petrified Forest, 280 million year old trees now fossilised and fallen like pillars from a Roman temple, and the rare desert elephant.
