Country: Namibia
Country: Namibia
Duration: 02:00 hours
Description
Discover the desert adapted night life concentrating on the various species of Gecko, Spiders, Gerbils and Scorpions.
During the day the desert looks inhospitable, unfriendly, devoid of any animal life, but once the sun sets, the sand turns into a playground for all kinds of animals. Most of the creatures in the Namib are nocturnal and can be observed only after dark. The Night walk offers a glimpse into the nocturnal theatre of this unique eco-system. After dark the seemingly barren Namib gravel plains come to life and we help you discover these little nocturnal wonders. The walks provide a truly amazing educational experience.
