The photographic possibilities are outstanding and it is a real pleasure to walk around the dead trees. Not to be missed. However, do not take your own vehicle unless you are very experienced driver.

For the past 10 years, my family and I have travelled many times to Southern Africa (specially to Namibia) and in 2013, after reading all the good reviews about Discover Namibia Tours and Safaris, we decided to book our trip to Namibia with them. We were very impressed with their excellent service and since then, we’ve always done our safaris with Discover Namibia. Communication is excellent and all emails are promptly answered by Gemma and her team. Any doubts and questions are answered and Gemma’s and Romy’s recommendations have always been ideal for us. Apart from being great professionals and knowing Namibia and the rest of Southern Africa inside out, Discover Namibia, in my opinion, have the best prices and go out of their way to make sure the trips and safaris are absolutely perfect! I also like the way they present their itineraries and quotes, everything is clearly laid out and you get a detailed price breakdown. Here’s a list of all the safaris we done with Discover Namibia: July 2013 - 15 day self-drive Family trip: Windhoek, Etosha, Damaraland, Walvis Bay and Sossusvlei. It was a wonderful trip (my daughter’s first time in Namibia and she loved it) July 2014 - 18 day self-drive Family trip: Windhoek, Grootfontein, Caprivi strip (Bwabwata-Mahango and Mudumu National Parks) Chobe National Park in Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. An incredible trip and I hope to do that itinerary again. November 2016 - 12 day fly-in and self-drive photography safari with friends: Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Damaraland and Etosha. Another amazing trip with fantastic wildlife sightings! For Xmas 2017-18, we did a 15 day self-drive family safari: Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft, East Etosha, Hobatere and West Etosha. It was a beautiful trip, such a different Xmas for us and like all our previous trips with Discover Namibia, everything was perfect. My most recent trip to Namibia was just a month ago, I went with some friends from the 12th to the 24th of February. It was their first time in Africa and Gemma organised an amazing self-drive safari for us, including a 2 day visit to the San Bushmen. We had a fantastic time and my friends loved the trip and are now addicted to Namibia too!! Thank you Gemma for organising all these very special safaris for us (and I’m already thinking about another trip!)

No filters needed - this place really looks like all the pics you see online. Incredible dead black trees, on near perfect white cracked earth, with burning red dunes, and perfect blue sky - remarkable. Hike up Big daddy, but start as early as possible - trailblazing will make it harder, but it gets stunningly hot 2-3 hours after sunrise.... This is a top 5 world locations for me - just amazing

It seems like Namib-Naukluft National Park is other-worldly, that it has alien landscape, that it's on another planet, and yet the cool thing is: it's right here on our own beautiful, amazing, incredible planet. (Excuse me, I'm feeling very saddened right now w/ the bushfires raging across Australia and decimating wildlife and natural spaces). This park has some of the biggest sand dunes in the world, some of the coolest and hardiest animals on the continent (like the gemsbok, who seem impervious to the blazing sun, scorching temperatures, and tremendous lack of water), and a whole lot of peaceful, desolate spaces to enjoy. Camping (or lodging) inside the park is a great way to ensure that you get an extra hour in the morning and an extra hour at night to experience the park (before and after the general public is allowed in), and the park is definitely worth at least one full day and night of your time. Hiking Elim, Dune 45 and/or Big Daddy offers a good chance for some exercise while admiring stunning vistas (especially at sunrise and/or sunset); trekking out to Hiddenvlei offers the opportunity to experience one of the quietest places in Namibia (or maybe in Africa, or maybe in the world); Sesriem Canyon (which is outside the park, but only just) provides the chance to meander through a cool little canyon and do a spot of scrambling; and Deadvlei makes for awesome photos. Be sure to watch for wildlife as well--even in/on the dunes (look for little tracks, and you might find beetles and lizards not far away)--because it's definitely there. Ostrich, springbok and gemsbok are most abundant, but you might also see jackals, warthogs, vultures, and who knows what else. To the person who said it's too touristy: my advice is to go in the low season. We went at the end of December and felt like we pretty much had the park--and most of the country, in fact--to ourselves. To the person who said the dunes are only beautiful if they have shades of the rising sun: a) that's absurd (look for the animals, and you'll surely find the dunes beautiful simply for sustaining life), and b) then stay in the park and go for sunrise and/or sunset. To everyone who rates this "average": I feel sad for you. Also, the fact that you consider a place like Namib-Naukluft NP "average" makes me wonder where else on Earth (or maybe in the whole Solar System) you've been. I grew up in Alaska, and I still thought this place was incredible.
