Death by Dunes
Indulge in an
experience
few had had the opportunity to experience.
Walk the big dunes!
Imagine the experience – to be on foot out in the open desert,
kilometers from the vehicle, from other people, cell phones, almost
anything but sand and the little creatures that live in it.
On this trip we
will spend some time focusing on what dunes are all about,
both in terms of how they are formed and the fauna and
flora that make the dunes their home.
See a selection of
different dunes,
from the
off-white dunes at the coast, to the almost brick red dunes seen at
sunset at Sossusvlei region.
