Region: Hardap

Hardap covers south-central Namibia, home to the towering dunes of Sossusvlei and Sesriem, the Namib-Naukluft National Park, and the town of Mariental on the edge of the Kalahari. Most travellers pass through Hardap on the way to or from the coast, and its campsites split naturally into two clusters: desert-and-dune camping near Sesriem and Solitaire, and Kalahari game-farm camping further east and south.
