Namib Desert Photos

Images and photos of the Namib Desert in Namibia, we have although only focused on the Namib between Sossusvlei and Aus in the South. Just to give you an idea of how big the desert actually is, the Namib spans 2000 kilometres in length passing through South Africa, Namibia and Angola (most of it being in Namibia).

The Namib consists of sand dunes, rocky and mountainous regions, large and small canyons, rivers and dry river beds and vast tracks of flat grasslands. Interestingly. Namib means "open space".

Most types of cameras are suitable here but a wide-angle lens is highly recommended. If you are going to be using a smart camera, try and photograph using the RAW format in professional mode, the harsh lighting plays havoc with the light meter and anything remotely white is just blown out completely. The RAW allows a great deal of play when editing photos at a later date.

Namibia Travel Topics

  • The Road To Sossusvlei

    Once one navigates the main Sesriem entrance gates and enters the national park a pleasant surprise awaits, a tarred road (yes, a tarred road) that extends all the way through to the main parking area near Sossusvlei.

  • Cape Town To The Kunene River

    In November and December of last year (2019), we loaded our Jeep and headed north out of Cape Town, destination Namibia and the Kunene River, her border with Angola. A couple of thousand kilometres later, we returned, this time, more in love with Namibia than ever.

  • Windhoek Oktoberfest 2021

    On the 25th and 26th of October, the Sports Klub Windhoek will host the 55th edition of the Oktoberfest. Over 5000 people are expected to attend (compared to 1000 in 2010). Adding a certain local flavour will be the Namibian band Famaz Attak, and there will be long-established activities and games like archery and tree trunk sawing.

  • Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek

    Continuing our series of dining in Africa, we look at the Namibian capital, Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions of Namibia as a safari destination. Nowhere is too far to travel in this small (and clean) city of 330,000 but be warned when you go out to eat, vegetarianism is not common!

  • Best Places To Go In Namibia

    The Uyaphi team has compiled a list of the "Best Places to go in Namibia" which most safari itineraries would include. Namibia is different from most African safari destinations. Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction of Namibia is vast, open deserts interspersed with canyons, mountain ranges, and oasis.

  • Living With The Himba

    In May 2012, we arranged for Uyaphi.Com client Ken Vine from Devon in England to stay with the traditional Himba people in two remote villages in the middle of Kaokoland, Namibia. He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
