Find a small caf, convenience store, and filling station here. After refueling your vehicle, go south on a road that runs alongside the Namib Naukluft Park for a lot of the way except for a single corridor, which joins the plains of the stunning Namib Desert to the lofty Naukluft Mountains. This serves as a major migratory corridor for the oryx antelope present here. They migrate between their winter and summer feeding grounds.

Day 3: Famous Sossusvlei

Today, go to the Namib Sand Sea, which includes the popular Sossusvlei dune belt. This location has some of the highest dunes on the entire planet. Sossusvlei is located at the end of the river Tsauchab. It is a dry riverbed that only flows when there is a lot of rainfall. Sossusvlei has been named to mean a place with many endings. Several tourists to this nation say that no part of the desert is more beautiful than Sossusvlei. Enjoy the views of the incredibly high dunes, which cast giant shadows as the sun rises and sets. The sand has warm tints ranging from deep red, brick orange, and pale apricot. It contrasts a lot with the vibrantly white surfaces of the clay pans at some of the bases. Then, go on a visit to the Sesriem Canyon. It is a picturesque and tiny canyon formed millions of years into the River Tsauchab.

Here, go to the main route, which lies between the dune belt and the coast, to reach the coastal resort location of Swakopmund. This place has served as the main harbor of the nation for many years after it was founded during the period of German rule. This serene city located between the ocean and the desert is enhanced by carefully tended gardens, palm trees, and lush green lawns. There is also a great selection of coffee shops and eateries that sell traditional German pastries and cakes. The desert and coastline give a lot of choices for relaxation and adventure.
