Namib Desert
Just in case drivers are not aware of the hazard all around them. Never go into any sort of sand with a two-wheel drive vehicle. It’s the most gripping experience I have ever had. At the time we were over 100 kms from the nearest habitation and the temperature was over 35deg C. Luckily skillful use of the clutch and a low gear, plus plenty of luck dragged us through.
Quiver Trees
Weaver Birds nests often hold dozens of mating pairs and are many years old.
Namib Desert The highest sand dune in the world @ over 300 metres. I’d rather plough through deep powder snow any day.
Sossusvlei. A dried up pan which sometimes comes to life in heavy rains and can be visited by Flamingos, but not on this occasion.
The highest sand-dune in the world.
Very dusty gravel roads approaching the Namib Desert.
Hot and Happy. On the summit.
