Highlights
The Moonlandscape and the Namib desert gravel Plains, with dolomite outcrops, Lava dykes and evidence of at least 3 ice ages.
The Welwitschia Plants only grow in a small belt in this area, the Welwitschia Plains, and plants up to 1500 years old are seen, they are unique in that they only have two leaves coming out of the stem.
The Moonlandscape is about 500 million years old and is the only place on earth to experience the feeling of being on another Planet..
Goanikontes is the first fresh water Oasis in the desert and has therefore attracted human life and development here. History rich full of memories of hard days gone by.
The utter quietness of the desert gravel plains have their own mystique...
We drive past the tiny Lichens, a field covering the desert, tiny living organism, a joint venture between an Algae and Mushroom
how do these and other plants survive in this harsh environment with only 15mm of rain per annum? Fog is the main source of moisture, how have they adapted?
