@ Namib Naukluft Park

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.
