Product Description of the Activities in resume.
The Tour and the route starts in Windhoek situated in Khomas Highlands/Plateau, Khomas Region and will be proceeding to Namib Naukluft Park in Hardap Region and will end in Windhoek again. Windhoek is the capital of the Khomas Region and of the country.
The road which will be used runs through the Spreetshoogte Pass, the deepest in the country which connects the Plateau with the Namib Desert descending approximately 1000m down from the top to the bottom to the Namib Desert. This road offers spectacular views from the top. This spectacular views are a rarity and is a paradise for nature lovers and photographers.
One of the main attraction and highlight of the tour is the visit to Sossusvlei which is in the heart of the Namib Sand Sea located in the Namib Desert, the oldest desert on earth with some of the highest and breathtaking Dunes in the world. The Namib Sand Sea is the second UNESCO World Heritage Site in Namibia. Namibia was accorded this recognition by the Convention in 2013. The above mentioned area is located in the famous Namib Naukluft Park.
The idea behind the establishment of the initial portion of the park, when created, was to conserve the fauna and flora around the coastal towns and areas covering the Namib gravel Plains and was thus proclaimed in 1968 as the Namib Desert Park.
Following the developments leading up to the proclamation and the Amalgamation, [Namib Desert Park & Naukluft Mountain Zebra Park, the idea with this Park was to create a sanctuary to safeguard the rare and endangered Hartmann’s mountain Zebra.] Portions of land bought from farmers were added to form part of the park. This amalgamated area serves as continuous conservation known as Namib-Naukluft Park with the size of 23 340sqkm. Portions of Diamond areas 1 and 2 were added in 1986 to the mentioned part increasing the size of the Park to colossal 49 768sqkm making it the third largest park in Africa.
