"Scorpions" Top 5 Page for this destination Namib-Naukluft Park Warnings Or Dangers Tip by nigelw6443

Of course there are Scorpions, sometimes you might even see one!

Around Namib Desert Lodge there were quite a few seen. Just before dusk they come out to feed. But generally they are not harmful unless of course you do not take care with either handling or checking your shoes in the morning! Another safeguard which I discovered at another lodge was using a towel or something to block the crack under the door.(I know they don't always build with such standards as Europe or N.America.

Two types, the Yellow and the larger Black Scorpion.

At another lodge just outside Etosha I had a Yellow Scorpion in my room and we had the towel wrapped sandbank in front of the door,but that's another story...
