Namib

The Namib desert is the geographical feature that gives Namibia its name. It covers the coastal area of Namibia, from the Angolan border into South Africa's Cape Province, but the most famous and touristically explored part is the area between Swakopmund and Lüderitz.

The Namib is famous for its apricot-coloured sand dunes. Most of the dunes are star-shaped and therefore pretty stable. Settlements, lodges and roads are mostly along the inner edge of the desert, from where tours and trips into the desert start.

It is interesting to note that the different species seem to cross the Namibian roads in a very organised manner: every couple of kilometers, it would be another species' area, and the traffic signs were indicating which species would cross where
