The Namib is a coastal desert in southern Africa. The name Namib is of Nama origin and means "vast place". According to the broadest definition, the Namib stretches for more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) along the Atlantic coasts of Angola, Namibia, and South Africa, extending southward from the Carunjamba River in Angola, through Namibia and to the Olifants River in Western Cape, South Africa. The Namib's northernmost portion, which extends 450 kilometres (280 mi) from the Angola-Namibia border, is known as Moçâmedes Desert, while its southern portion approaches the neighboring Kalahari Desert. From the Atlantic coast eastward, the Namib gradually ascends in elevation, reaching up to 200 kilometres (120 mi) inland to the foot of the Great Escarpment. Annual precipitation ranges from 2 millimetres (0.079 in) in the most arid regions to 200 millimetres (7.9 in) at the escarpment, making the Namib the only true desert in southern Africa. Having endured arid or semi-arid conditions for roughly 55–80 million years, the Namib may be the oldest desert in the world, competing with only South America's Atacama Desert for the title, itself already recognized as the "driest place on Earth".

Die Namib an der afrikanischen Küste gilt als die älteste Wüste der Welt. Aus ihrem Sand entstanden riesige Dünen, und das Volk der Himba besiedelt die Region schon seit Jahrhunderten. Die Namib ist auch eine der wenigen Wüsten, die Heimat zahlreicher großer Tierarten ist - so haben sich etwa Namib-Elefanten und Wüstenlöwen an ein Leben in der Wüste angepasst.

Seit Millionen von Jahren spült der Atlantik Sand an die Küsten des afrikanischen Südwestens und die Brandung schiebt diesen Sand immer weiter ins Landesinnere. So entstand die älteste Wüste der Welt, die Namib, mit den höchsten Dünen der Welt bei Sossusvlei. Neuere Forschungen besagen, dass von hier, dem afrikanischen Südwesten und nicht aus Ostafrika, die ersten Menschen kamen. Ihre direkten Nachfahren, die Buschmänner, leben heute noch hier. Manche von ihnen wollen in der Wüste Namib die alten Sitten und Gebräuche, nach denen ihre Urväter gelebt haben, zum Leben erwecken: nach den Gesetzen der Wüste und nach ihrem Rhythmus. Sie nennen die Namib-Wüste den "Ort, wo nichts ist". Ein Klima der Kontraste: Im Landesinneren herrschen hier bis zu 60 Grad Celsius, an der Küste ist es oft nebelig...
