Next we headed out into the deep
desert.
We drove 550 kilometres mostly on dusty gravel
roads.
We were overtaken once and overtook one vehicle
during the whole day of driving.
It is so empty.
There are only 1.8 million people living here in
an area slightly larger than Britain.
Again you can see Springbok. The larger ones
with long straight horns are Oryx or locally known as Gemsbok.
Some of the little birds make huge nests in the
trees and live inside as a community.
You can just about make out a couple of Zebras
we passed.
None of these animals are in Game parks, they
are all wild and free.
The last photo shows the hotel where we stayed,
appropriately its called "The Mirage"
