By car
The main coastal road C34 starts at Swakopmund and follows the coast north up to the Ugab River mouth.
By plane
Since there are few roads in the park, most of the park is inaccessible even to 4x4s, which are the only type of land vehicle allowed in the park.
The major road in the area is a salt road. These are very slick if wet. Otherwise, they seem like bad pavement.
