GoanikontesGoanikontes is an oasis in the Swakopmund River. Very important location for the history of the area as it was the first watering hole in the desert from Swakopmund, an old Police post and vegetable were grown here. We learn the interesting History as we pass through the dry river bed
-
Welwitschia PlainsAmazingly on the hard gravel plains where nothing grows we find the age old Welwitschia plant. This unique plant has no stem and only two leaves, it has adapted to absorb moisture from the fog and the little rain, and can grow to be hundreds of years old. There are male and female plants, these are pollenated by little brown and orange bugs that live in the plants. Thousands of seeds are produced that spread by the harsh prevailing winds. Nature is amazing
