Desert-adapted elephants in the Namib Desert can survive up to five days at a time without drinking water.

Dead camel thorn trees still stand in Deadvlei, a river bed that dried up hundreds of years ago in the Namib Desert.

The deep red sand dunes in Sossusvlei get their color from oxidized iron in the sand.

One of the best ways to see Namibia is from the air.

Desert rhinos are very rare to see. Rhino populations across Africa are declining steeply because of poaching.
