Namib extends down the Atlantic coasts in Southern Africa, and it’s one of the oldest and driest deserts in the world. It’s worth a visit because it’s home to countless natural wonders that you can discover during your visit, and here are three that you shouldn’t miss while exploring it.
Skeleton Coast
The term “Skeleton Coast” can be used to describe the entirety of the Namib Desert, and it earned this notorious nickname because numerous shipwrecks happened on its shores. Skeleton Coast is best known for being home to many rusting ship hulls, but it’s also a popular destination with adventurous surfers.
Sossusvlei
The Namib Desert simply wouldn’t be the same without its giant red sand dunes, and Sossusvlei is the best place to explore them in their full glory. Its fascinating landscapes transformed this salt and clay pan and its red dunes into one of Namib’s most popular destinations.
Spitzkoppe
Known by the nickname “Matterhorn of Namibia”, Spitzkoppe is one of the most spectacular mountain peaks in all of Africa. Its sharp granite peaks are a sight to behold, and they’re a part of the reason why this mountain is a huge hit with hikers and rock climbers.
