Glorious Ganab & Blutkoppe 10 hour desert tour
This loop through the desert shows off some stunningly beautiful desert landscapes between the Swakop River and the dreaded C14 national road.
Very arid and isolated, it is worth seeing. From the dune belt at the coast the landscape changes rapidly to wide open spaces and gravel plains the views are spectacular. On these gravel plains the plant life has adapted quite uniquely to the desolate surroundings.
You will see the Swakop River Canyon, also known as the Moon Landscape, on the way to the Welwitschia plains and Blutkoppen.
Blutkoppe is well worth visiting for it's wind carved caves and sensual shapes.
Ganab has a watering hole. The desert changes a lot with rainfall and the wildlife moves around, so no two tours are the same, some may be bone dry, and others have lush greenery and wildlife everywhere.
Vogelvederberg boasts some impressive wind carved rock formations, and is a good lookout over the desert.
All this nature is exquisitely beautiful.... bring your camera!
