Visit Namibia's National Parks & Reserves

Namibia's national parks and reserves are epic in stature and a feature of most Namibia holidays.

The Namib-Naukluft is the largest nature reserve in Africa, made up of the towering blazing-orange dunes of Sossusvlei and the Sperrgebiet forbidden diamond zone. This is the striking landscape Namibia is famed for.

The Skeleton Coast is another landmark. Littered with the crumbling hulls of wrecked ships, it is a window into a time when brave sailors risked all to carve out new trade routes.

The flat mud plains of Etosha National Park offer game viewing on par with Africa's other great reserves. Here you can camp by floodlit watering holes to witness abundant wildlife in a whole new light.
