Today we headed to the oldest desert in the world home to the highest dunes, in the second largest national park in Africa.

Lots of big ones today.
On the trip we saw various birds on arriving at the dunes we were informed that in order to access them we would need to swap to a 4×4 while waiting we photographed several birds and joked with our driver about his cattle.
We soon piled into the 4×4 it was funny as my brother and father were called over to the 4×4 like cattle by our driver/guide who waved his tribes traditional cattle stick and whistled.
The ride to the dunes was very bumpy making photos almost impossible but I managed to snap a fair few. We arrived by the dune known as big daddy that stands next to the petrified remains of trees of Dead Vlei. These trees once grew alongside a river but the dune grew blocking the rivers path.
We walked along the first ridge of big daddy and upon reaching a fork in the dune one leading down the other up. Our guide said that we could go up the left if we felt up to it, my brother and I decided to in my over eagerness to climb to the top of a steep hill I spent most of my energy and felt very Ill I almost decided to slide back down the dune but decided I’d be better off trying through how rough I had started to feel. I finally reached the second summit of big daddy no way either my brother or I would reach the summit with the water we had.

We took several photos and heading very quickly down the dune completely filling our shoes. Upon reaching the base we emptied out shoes on one of the petrified trees.
On returning to our standard car we drove to Sesriem canyon which was formed by large rivers long ago, the rock around resembles a riverbed a perfect natural cement.
The next stop was our hotel and as usual after a shirt rest I spent the time in pursuit of pictures of birds and other numerous creatures. I found a beetle tangled in Oryx hair and decided to set it free with the aid of my brother.
