Sara exploring a camp site used by South African troops in 1915. (They were clearly not minimum-impact campers!)
Ana with a male Welwitschia mirabilis, one of Namibia's many botanical curiosities.
A 1500 year old female Welwitschia!
Welwitschias actually have only two long and leathery leaves which grow from opposite sides of the cork-like stem.
Welwitschias are related to conifers!
A Karoo chat.
A highlight were the lichen fields.
The endemic Dollar bush (Zygophyllum stapffii) - with round leaves which resemble coins.
