The desert is the oldest in the world

Located in the border between Namibia and southwestern Angola, with a dry and semi-arid condition lasting at least 55 million years, Namib is the world's oldest desert.

Although in the local language, Namib means "large area" , but in terms of area, this desert is much smaller than the Sahara. In return, there are extremely impressive landscapes, very rare in places with similar geographical and climate conditions.

Namib is the only desert in the world where elephants live, if lucky, you can also see antelopes and ostriches.

Namib is the only desert in the world where elephants live and, if lucky, visitors can see antelopes and ostriches. Over millions of years of evolution, the flora and fauna in Namib has developed highly adaptive characteristics with an average annual rainfall of only about 10mm.

The most unique plant here is Welwitschia mirabilis . The tree has only 2 leaves, but the leaves grow continuously and can reach a maximum length of 2 - 4m. They are scratched by the wind and the sand, wriggling into strange shapes, so when you look at it, people often mistakenly think that the tree has lots of leaves.

South of the desert is a row of sand dunes up to 300m high, pink or orange yellow. And in the north is an area called by the sailors of the Coast , because there are many wrecks due to hitting the reef. As Namib developed westward, gradually encroaching into the sea, many wrecks were located inland 50m.
