Schalk CronjéSociable weaver nest in a tree. Seen on the Naukluft trail.
Footpath somewhere between De Valle & Tufa shelters on the Naukluft trail. This footpath brings welcome relief from the relentless boulder hopping and rock trails in the ravines that make up a great part of the 8-day route.
Quiver tree, Naukluft, Namibia.
My travels are starting in less than a month, and I've now gained an opportunity to hike a trail that I've never done, but was on my bucket list - The Naukluft trail in Namibia.
This is an 8-day trail in arid desert country, but it is mountainous country, rather than the sand desert of the Namib that borders it. It is a tough trail. Overnight points are fixed in basic shelters.
I'll be doing it in the southern winter - it will probably be hot ny day and cold by night.
I tried to find a short video that describes, but could only find one from 2016. Of course, if this triggers your interest you can watch long and more detailed videos on YT.
