If you are driving, head towards the Namib-Naukluft National Park. From the main road (C14), turn onto the D849 road. Continue on this road for approximately 20 kilometers. You will see signs for Viewpoint, which is located just off the D849. There is a small parking area where you can leave your vehicle.

Public Transportation

Public transportation options are limited in the Namib Desert. You can take a shuttle or tour bus from Windhoek to Swakopmund or Sossusvlei. Some of these services include stops at popular attractions, including Viewpoint. Be sure to confirm with the operator that Viewpoint is included in the itinerary, as not all services will stop here.
