Namib Desert

Namib Desert, Africa’s oldest desert (55+ million years), stretches 2,000 km along Namibia’s coast with surreal red dunes (some towering 300m) and bone-dry riverbeds. Its hyper-arid core, the Skeleton Coast, sees fog as the sole moisture source, sustaining rare life like welwitschia plants and desert-adapted elephants. From the eerie Deadvlei clay pan to roaring sand dunes, the Namib blends stark beauty and extreme survival—a UNESCO-listed wonder where the Atlantic’s cold currents collide with endless sands.
