The Naukluft section of the park was created as a sanctuary for Hartmann's mountain zebra, endemic to Namibia. Other wildlife found here includes kudu, gemsbok, klipspringer, duiker, steenbok, leopard, baboon, black-backed jackal, bat-eared fox, African wild cat, caracal and aardwolf. Naukluft's steep cliffs are nesting grounds for cliff-breeding birds including black eagles.
With its massive and varied rock formations, Naukluft is a geologist's paradise — intermittent layers of horizontally folded igneous rock, quartzite, dolomite and shale form impressive, giant symmetrical patterns across the landscape.
Six comfortable chalets are tucked into the Naukluft Mountains, each with its own bathroom and a small seating area. Power is provided by solar panels, which run the lights only — there are no plug sockets in the rooms, keeping the stay simple and close to nature.
Ten campsites sit in a gorge alongside a dry riverbed, shaded by trees in a beautiful part of the Naukluft Mountains. Each site has a braai/BBQ area, a water point, and access to a clean ablutions block.
Around Naukluft Camp are some of Namibia's finest hiking routes, a must for nature lovers. Choose from two shorter day hikes — the Olive Trail and the Waterkloof Trail — or tackle the full 120 km trail, which takes eight days. An option to hike the first half only (four days) is also available; the first four days are moderate, while the final four are more difficult.
Alternatively, the trail can be completed in seven days by combining the last two days. This should only be attempted by extremely fit hikers, and the trail must be booked in advance.
