It's an unique landscape which you have to experience.
This part of Namibia is famous because of its beautiful scenery. Wildlife is not spectacular, but oryx, springbok and ostrich are frequently spotted, cheetah and caracal are less commun. But there is a lot to experience in the desert. A "gogga tour" in the Namib desert is beautiful and you'll be surprised to learn about the little 5 of the desert. (Tommy's tours and safaris, Swakopmund). Snakes, spiders, lizards, scorpions and chameleons, besides beautiful landscapes and unique desert vegetations. A scenic flight is wonderfull ( by plane from Swakop to Tsau //Khaeb and back)
Accommodations: From basic campsites to luxurious lodges are available in the enviroment. Generally the food in the lodges is good/very good, mostly buffet.
Stunning park with great scenary and good wildlife (although not as good for wildlife as other Namibian parks). You would need to be mental to miss this place if you're going to Namibia.
Landscapes. The Namib Naukluft is all about landscapes. The colours of the sand dunes at sunrise, the rugged rock formations of the Kuiseb canyon and the ancient leaves of the Welwitchia plant all invite you to get out and explore this fascinating desert. My favourite place is Dead Vlei, where camelthorn trees that have been dead for 500 years stretch their black limbs towards an impossibly blue sky. The scene reminds me of a Dali painting and I am always double checking if their are any clocks draped over the tree branches.

The way to see Sossusvlei (a stunning clay pan in the central Namib Desert) is to go in on foot with an experienced guide who will show you all the signs of life in the seemingly empty expanse of sand and cracked, rock-hard former waterholes. Lizards, birds, spiders, and even the occasional antelope family walk here too. The scenery in incredible, like nothing else on earth. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and take a BIG bottle of water.

Visiting Namib dessert is definitely once in a lifetime experience. The stunning color of dunes even during the day time and loneliness origin from all those trees just made the tour rich in diversity

Amazing experience in the desert - but if you're looking for wildlife safari, there are other regions for that

The Namib-Naukluft National Park was quite an experience. The dry veld and desolate environment gave an almost eerie feeling driving around in the park. The lodge was lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

The scenery is amazing and very pleasant. This is not a crowded area bringing the tranquility atnosphere that we were looking for.
The birds are all over the place and at night you can easly observe the starts.
