About Photography in the Kalahari and Namib Deserts
This short photographic tour of the Kalahari and Namib Deserts will give you the opportunity to enjoy some of Namibia's most spectacular landscapes as well as a chance to see some of the country's most iconic desert dwellers including gemsbok (oryx,) ostrich, bat-eared foxes, springbok, cape foxes, barking geckos and sociable weavers for example.
The night skies are incredible in these dark sky areas so astro photography is also very rewarding here for Milky Way Arches and interesting desert foregrounds
