Pink fridge in the Namibian desert – An unexpected oasis for travelers – almost like a mirage

Located on the edge of endless expanses Namib‑Naukluft National Park, This strikingly colored pink refrigerator has become one of the favorite Instagram destinations for adventurers and lovers of atypical tourist scenes.

About a 20-minute drive down a dirt road from the small town of Solitaire, the refrigerator sits on a rocky plateau, surrounded by endless desert landscapes and distant mountain outlines. A sight to behold. Especially for thirsty tourists walking through desert landscapes.

The initiative was launched in collaboration with Namibian Tourism Board and local artists, as a small but effective reminder of the importance of rest and refreshment in the middle of strenuous hiking routes. The solar panel discreetly placed behind the fridge ensures that the fridge is cold, even when the outside temperature reaches over 40 °C.

What awaits you inside?

Inside the fridge, passengers are greeted with refreshing drinks – from iced water and homemade iced tea, to homemade cactus juices, to cold energy drinks. The prices are symbolic, and a portion of the proceeds are reinvested in preserving the park's infrastructure and local ecological projects.
