Tsau //Khaeb (Sperrgebiet) National Park
Getting There
Namibia Parks
Anthony is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Lonely Planet guidebooks, including the 'Botswana & Namibia' guide.
Tsau //Khaeb National Park (formerly Sperrgebiet National Park) begins a few kilometers from Lüderitz town. There are no accommodations in the park and visitors usually stay in Lüderitz, which is about 680km/420mi from the capital, Windhoek. The road from Windhoek to Lüderitz is accessible by normal 2WD car and the drive takes around 8 hours*.
To visit most places in the park, you need to book a trip with a local tour operator and special permits are required. Agate Beach, on the edge of the park, and the abandoned mining town of Kolmanskop can be visited independently by self-drive visitors in a 4x4 vehicle.
Most tours in Namibia (self-drive and organized safaris) start in Windhoek using 4x4 vehicles. The main point of entry into the country is Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH), 40km/25mi east of Windhoek.
There are currently no scheduled domestic flights to Tsau //Khaeb, but FlyNamibia connects Windhoek with flights to Lüderitz. Charter flights, leaving from Windhoek’s Eros Airport (ERS), are usually organized by your tour operator.
*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
