National Parks

Namib Naukluft Park (Sossusvlei):

The breathtaking NamibRand Nature Reserve begun as a conservation initiative in 1984 and now extends over 180,000 hectares of pristine Namib Desert, restoring land that was once used for Karakul sheep farming. The reserve shares a common border of nearly 100 km of the Namib-Naukluft National Park to the west, while the imposing Nubib mountain range forms a natural boundary to the east.  The particular attraction of NamibRand is its diversity of different desert landscapes, representing virtually all facets of the Namib Desert.  Expansive sand and gravel plains and endless stretches of grass savannah alternate with majestic mountain ranges and vegetated dune belts of deep red sand.  The variety of flora and fauna is as fascinating as the colour nuances of the landscape, which change continuously as the day progresses.  Before NamibRand became a private nature reserve, it consisted of sheep farms, surveyed and allocated in the early fifties to ex-soldiers of World War II.  Today visitors to the NamibRand can admire nature in its original state, as native animals and plants are flourishing back where they belong.

Etosha National Park:

Etosha National Park, translated as the 'Place of Mirages', Land of Dry Water' or the 'Great White Place', covers 22 270 km², of which over 5,000 km² is made up of saline depressions or 'pans'.  The largest of these pans, the Etosha Pan, can be classified as a saline desert in its right.  The Etosha Pan lies in the Owambo Basin, on the north-western edge of the Namibian Kalahari Desert.  Until three million years ago it formed part of a vast, shallow lake that was reduced to a complex of salt pans when the major river that fed it, the Kunene, changed course and began to flow to the Atlantic instead.  If the lake existed today, it would be the third largest in the world.  Etosha Pan is the largest of the pans at 4 760 km² in extent.  It is nowadays filled with water only when sufficient rain falls to the north in Angola, inducing floods to flow southward along the Cuvelai drainage system.  The Park consists of grassland, woodland and savannah.  Game-viewing centres around the numerous springs and waterholes where several different species can often be seen at one time.  The Park boasts some 114 mammal and over 340 bird species.  Wildlife that one might see includes elephant, lion, giraffe, blue wildebeest, eland, kudu, gemsbok (oryx), zebra, rhino, cheetah, leopard, hyena, honey badger and warthog, as well as the endemic black-faced impala.
