The Naukluft Mountains (Afrikaans: Naukluftberge) are a massif in central Namibia, forming the easternmost part of the Namib-Naukluft National Park. They are known for their wildlife, including mountain zebras, kudu, klipspringers, gemsbok, and leopards. The mountains have many small streams and waterfalls, while the Never Ending Hills lie to their east.

Geology

[edit]

The Naukluft Mountains were first extensively mapped by German Geologists Henno Martin and Hermann Korn in 1938-39 [1]
