Coast and the awe-inspiring Fish River Canyon in |Ai- |Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier
Park, which ranks among Africa's most spectacular natural wonders.
Around 15% of Namibia is designated as national park or conservancy. Access to most
wildlife parks is limited to closed vehicles only. A 2WD is sufficient for most parks, but
for Mamili National Park, Khaudum National Park and parts of Bwabwata National Park,
you need a sturdy 4WD with high clearance.
Entry permits are available on arrival at park entrances, but campsites and resorts
should be booked in advance, although it is possible to make a booking on arrival, subject
to availability.

Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR)
The semiprivate Namibia Wildlife Resorts (

)
in Windhoek manages a large
number of rest camps, campsites and resorts within the national parks. If you haven't pre-
booked (eg if you're pulling into a national park area on a whim), there's a good chance
you'll find something available on the spot, but have a contingency plan in case things
don't work out. This is not advised for Etosha or Sossusvlei, which are perennially busy.
BOOKING
When booking a campsite or resort with NWR, fees must be paid by credit card before the
booking will be confirmed. Note that camping fees are good for up to four people; each
additional person up to eight people will be charged extra.
