Stretching almost 120 miles inland from the Atlantic Coast towards East, the Namib Desert is one of the biggest, and also one of the oldest deserts in the world. The Namib has endured arid conditions for more than 60 million years, with some evidence suggesting the desert dates back to 80 million years ago.
Completely uninhabited by humans, the desert is known as “The Desert of Skeletons”. Only few small settlements can be found in the Namib, including the Ovahimba and Obatjimba Herero in the north area, and the Topnaar in the center region.
