Listen to the deafening silence of the Namib Desert and explore the various life forms it supports


Overview
Come and explore one of the most amazing natural wonders ofNamibia - the Namib Desert. Occupying an area of around 50, 000 km², the desert is an endless sea of sand with the highest sand dunes in the world. Namib means a place of emptiness and true to its name, visitors often remark on the deafening silence of the place. Surprisingly, wildlife abounds on the Namib desert! And this vacation is an excellent opportunity to explore the various life forms this desert supports.Home to many species of insects, the Namib is an entomologist’s delight. Visitors can spend their time just watching the white lady spider roll down a dune or dance at the bottom of one. Trace the caterpillar tracks of desert sidewinder and watch it hunt for the aporasaura sand diving lizard. Don’t leave this desert until you spot the elusive palmato gecko. Being transparent, every vein that lines the body of this nocturnal reptile is visible. Namib Desert is the only place where the tiny damara terns live. So if you are an ornithologist or an enthusiastic bird watcher, you should go to Namib Desert just to see this endangered bird. Bustling life in the midst of silent stretches of sand – explore Namibia’snatural wonderthis vacation.
