Tsau Khaeb National Park, formerly known as Sperrgebiet, is a vast 26,000 km² area in southwestern Namibia, encompassing a unique desert landscape along the Atlantic coast. Once a diamond mining zone, the park spans from Oranjemund near the South African border to north of Lüderitz, and stretches 100 km inland. Its isolation for over a century has preserved a diverse ecosystem, with 776 plant species, 234 of which are endemic to the region. The park is home to desert-adapted wildlife, including gemsbok, springbok, and brown hyena, as well as rare bird species like the African oystercatcher and the dune lark. Notable features include the Roter Kamm impact crater and the iconic Bogenfels rock arch. Despite its mining history, the park is now a protected area, offering a glimpse into the biodiversity and natural beauty of one of the most remote and untouched regions in Namibia.

The park was fine until it agreed to host industrial wind turbines for a hydrogen production scheme (more "green" spin on economic growthism). It's disrespectful to build large, ugly structures in any place designated as wild, including disrupted scenery from long distances.

Located within this National Park are beautiful beaches, Famous Diaz point, abandoned ghost buildings on Halifax Island and incredible natural scenery. You also may encounter wildlife such as Oryx and a possible lone Hyena roaming. The Park has special breeding grounds to migrating birds and Penguin. Birds such as Pink Flamingos, Penguins and various Sea birds can be spotted throughout the park. You will be amazed at the dramatic landscape throughout the park. A must see: Diaz Point
