About Namib Desert
The Namib Desert runs along Namibia's Atlantic coast, and its red dunes and gravel plains are among the oldest desert landscapes on Earth. This waterhole lies on an open plain in the privately owned Gondwana Namib Park, which borders the Namib-Naukluft Park, about 8 kilometres from Namib Desert Lodge. This Namib Desert live cam shows the animals that come to drink and the changing desert light.
Which Namib Desert webcam to check first
Watch the stream early and late in the day, when oryx, springbok, zebra and ostrich are most likely to visit and the light is low across the plain. At midday the view shows heat haze and how bare the plain is. Night brings jackal and, occasionally, hyena.
Before you go to Namib Desert
Distances are long and roads are mostly gravel, so check fuel, water and road conditions before you drive. Check the Namibia Meteorological Service forecast for heat and wind.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
