Namibia Landscapes and Wildlife Safari: The Other Way Around …

Brendan’s News from Namibia:

When we woke up we made the decision to repeat yesterday’s process of splitting up, but this time the groups swapped around and those that had done the desert trip enjoyed the boat trip this time and vice versa …

Once again the sightings were spectacular, and again the desert group saw Sidewinders, Namaqua Chameleons, Tractrac Chats, and Palmato Geckos. And of course the collection of photographs taken with each new sighting surpassed those taken moments ago.

And those on the boat? Of course they also had a bumper time. There were Pelicans and different Gulls everywhere. The Subantarctic Skuas were also present and cameras filled quickly with all the nonstop action.

And again we regrouped at lunch time, and after eating our fill we headed to Walvis Bay to photograph the beautiful numbers of Flamingos there. A very strong wind blew while we were there and it was rather chilly. But in spite of that there was plenty of action as Flamingos and Pelicans flew back and forth across the bay and against the dunes – and seals cavorted in the waves or huddled on the shore.

We enjoyed our final dinner in Swakopmund, aware that we head for Etosha in the morning …

The Kingfisher is probably one of the most beautiful birds out there
