We will stop continuously to point out all features of interest including the desert adapted plants and any small creatures to be found along the way. Larger mammals such as Springbok, Klipspringer, Baboons, Jackals and Ostrich can also be encountered during the tour, but sightings depend on the availability of food, which in turn is dependant on the amount of rainfall. Great care is taken in sharing knowledge with our guests on each desert animal and plant, including emphasis on special adaptations and perfect design used for survival in the desert.
