10 of the Best National Parks in Africa
"At nearly 20,000 square miles this is the largest national park in Africa and includes a portion of the Namib Desert (said to be the oldest in the world) as well as a stretch of wild Atlantic coastline, with deep canyons and unique wildlife in between. It's best known for the giant, rust-red sand dunes of the Sossusvlei area and the famous Deadvlei clay pan with its striking dead camel thorn trees — one of the most photographed scenes in Namibia — and it offers the luxury of complete silence, wide open landscapes, and dark night skies." - Heather Richardson Heather Richardson Heather Richardson is a journalist based in Cape Town, South Africa.
