Today we woke up early to set out on our second day drive to Farm Namtib. It was a long truck ride but the awesome scenery was captivating! Most of the landscape was flat yellow grassland with areas of randomly protruding rock mountains. I have never witnessed anywhere this breathtaking in my life. We saw several springbok, gemsbok, ostrich, and secretary birds. The farm is almost undescribable. The mountains are huge red rocks and desert savanna. The farm owners are Torstan and Lynn Tyler, they are originally from Germany. Everything here is ran on battery and solar power- which means when the sun goes down there is really no power, just warm showers. We went on a game drive of the farm later that day. Torstan is so knowledgeable about wildlife and the natural resources of the farm. The farm is huge and you can see the red dunes of the ocean coast in the distance. They are close enough to the coast that they are also affected by the ocean fog and breeze. The farm is in the shape of a horse shoe. It's awesome!
Loving Farm Namtib,
Tara!
