Due to their diversity, the Naukluft’s flora and fauna are truly fascinating. Here the visitor can witness noteworthy and rare natural phenomena.

Because the Naukluft straddles two climatic zones, rainfall can occur throughout the year. The average rainfall measures between 50 and 300 mm per annum.

According to the 1971 vegetation map issued by Willy Giess (1971), the vegetation is categorised in the transitional savannah and semi-desert – or escarpment – zone. Although the rainfall is limited and irregular in this area, there can also be massive downpours that cause extensive erosion due to the sparse vegetation.

Any visitor who would like to learn more about Namibia’s flora is bound to visit the Naukluft sooner or later. Its vegetation includes an abundance of highly noteworthy plants and plant communities.
