The Living
Desert Tour
(Includes
transfers) |
This
half-day desert tour concentrates on exploring the local dune- belt
between Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. Come explore the Namib Desert and
discover its many wonders. Namib, which means vast and empty, leaves
images of total desolation to the onlooker. This is true to a certain
degree, but on the contrary, the life giving fog supports a wealth of
fauna and flora. Come explore this wealth of life with us. Sidewinder
Snakes, White Lady Spiders, Namaqua Chameleons, Dancing Lizards and much
more can be seen, and is an excellent photographic opportunity…
