On the western side of Namibia, Namib Naukluft National Park is situated. It covers a wide area of 19,216 sq miles (49,768sq km). It is the largest National Park in Africa and ranks fourth in the world. Sossusvlei pan is one of the most frequently visited areas famous for its towering apricot-colored sand dunes. It can be reached by following the Tsauchab River valley. The other two frequently visited pan areas are Hiddenvlei and Deadvlei. Deadvlei’s striking camel thorn trees, starved from any drop of water, still stand erect where they once thrived. They survived until about 900 years ago when the sand sea finally blocked the river from occasionally flooding the pan. Sesriem Canyon is a narrow gorge, 1.5 km long and 30 meters deep, exposing layers of sedimentation deposited over millions of years.
