Plants - Welwitschia, Quiver trees, Baobab, Namibia: 19 reviews and 22 photos
in a moonlike landscape,with rare and solitary plants!at first sight,desert landscape looks abandoned,without any form of life!Dusty whiteness of a naked immensity.
when in nature drive,follow the arrows.You'll meet quickly a deep and amazing moon valley...as in cappadocia,turkey....and further,rare plants called "welwischia mirabilis"...... circumference:2 meters...only 2 leaves,never stop growing,winding round itself while drying;reason why its appellation of "fossil plant".
able to live hundreds of years....
ENTRANCE FEES to be paid IN SWAKOP TOURISM OFFICE! (city center)
MIND if arriving SAT or SUNDAY afternoon:tourism office opens THESE DAYS only 9-11am .....maybe,then,you have to visit without permit:you do it at your own risk:fine of 300N$ .....
we did it,luckily without any fine...
on the site,dusty but good roads...visit needs 2 hours time.
.
Address: tourism office:corner san nujoma st. /roon st.
Directions: from swakopmund,25km on road C28...you'll find arrows on your left.
