Dune 45 : Dune 45 is a large popular sand dune in the Namib Naukluft park in Namibia. Our journey began well before dawn as we made our way into the park. Dune 45 offers some spectacular views of the sunrise so there is quite a convoy. Pre dawn it is cold and the wind over the dune is icy. Fearing the sand blasting I only took our compact to the top. Having done it I say take the DSLR, just don't change lenses once up there. The changing colours are amazing and the patterns of the sand are worth the sensor clean. Make the effort and you will be rewarded.

Cape Cross Seal Colony : Cape Cross is the spot where the first European this far south on the coast of Africa, Diego Cao landed in 1485. Its a bleak rocky coast which leads to the desert inland. It is also the home of up to 100 000 seals, numbers vary seasonally but the site is occupied all year round. Lets get the smell question out of the way first. This area is home to a very large seal colony, therefore it a bit smelly. Get over it, its not that bad. Concentrate on the fantastic photographic opportunity and the smell will fade. We are talking 1000's of seals on a atmospheric wind swept coastline. They are not afraid of humans and disregard the restraining wall totally.

Etosha National Park : Etosha National Park covers an areas of around 22 270 sq km, and has 114 mammal species. If you have been to East Africa then you are in for a major change of scenery. No endless plains of grasslands here. The dominating feature of the park is the Etosha Pan, a large slat and clay pan that covers 25% of the park. The harsh light is a challenge and you have to be back in camp by sunset so it can be photographically challenging. Perserve though as the results can be worth it. Like any wildlife experience though you have to give it time to get the most out of it.
