Wildlife: Not a great diversity of game, or big numbers, but seeing Gemsbok, Ostrich and Sprinbok in stunning desert scenery was a major highlight.
Scenic beauty: Absolutely unique – wonderful mix of dunefields, rocky outcrops and dry riverbeds with massive acacias. The freedom to move between selected campsites on a self-drive safari was great.
Bush vibe: This park had more of a wilderness vibe that a bush vibe.
Birding: Birding around some of the waterholes (e.g. Ganab) was excellent in the mornings – Sand Grouse and very large groups of Ostrich in these areas.

Incredibly unique ecosystem full of endemic lizards etc... Spectacular mountains for walking and beautiful sand dunes. Home to two unparalleled spectacles: the sossusvlei and the deadvlei valleys.

too many tourists in the Namib/Sossusvlei, great, but hard trails in the Naukluft

Dunes as far as the eyes can see!
My brief trip was mainly around the Sossusvlei area of Namib Naukluft National Park. The thought of seeing sand dunes may not sound enticing at first but the dunes in Namibia are magical. There’s something alluring about the expanse of the desert - its endless curves of the dunes and the soft sand enveloping my feet. My highlight was the views on the top of the dune aptly named “Big Daddy”. It was well worth the 1 hour clamber to the top in the sweltering desert heat. The surreal landscape of Deadvlei will always leave an indelible image in my mind. Deadvlei is otherworldly and unmissable.

An amazing experience such that I would do it again at the drop of a hat.
The Namib Naukluft was part of the itinerary on a Capturearth photographic workshop.
We stayed at Wolwedans and at Sossus Dune Lodge.
Wolwedans was amazing with 5-star treatment and meals - real, classy "bush vibe" experience.
Sossus Dune Lodge was comfortable but very hot at the time. It is however a "must stay" destination if you wish to experience Deadvlei at it's photogenic best - that is, at dawn. Part of the program included a dawn helicopter flight over the Sossusvlei sand dunes which I can highly recommend.

Amazing beauty of dunes and desert
Namib Naukluft National Park is a beautiful park, but not a your typical safari destination. You won't see much game, nor will you see many birds. You will see a lot of sand, but it's beautiful. The patterns in the sand, the variations in colors of the dunes (older dunes are darker then younger dunes).
Visit Sossusvlei, Dead vlei and climb the popular Dune 45, the most photographed dune. Dunes can be as high as 300 meters.
I flew with a small plane from Dessert Air over Namib Naukluft national park and saw the endless desert, the fairy circles en de red dunes from above. A day i won't forget, ever.
