After existing for up to 80 million years as the ancient Namib Desert—stretching 2,000 kilometres long with sculpted dunes and unique flora and fauna sustained by coastal mist—this magnificent landscape finally received recognition with diamond discoveries in the early 1900s and World Heritage status in 2013, now drawing thousands of visitors annually to marvel at Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei, where Gondwana has created unique havens including Luna Namib Collection, Desert Whisper, The Desert Grace, Namib Dune Star Camp and Namib Desert Lodge for experiencing the desert's breathtaking forms and colours.
