Desert ecosystems are known for their ‘boom-and-bust’ patterns of rain and abundant life, drought and survival. For a brief period earlier this year, the famously rocky red desert of north-west Namibia was painted in shades of green. This time of renewal and hope will set the tone for an adventure into north-west Namibia that will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated.
