With sun-burnt necks and sand-scolded feet we left the dunes and headed for the Naukluft mountains to find refreshment in green valleys and springwater pools. Bliss.
Moving on, the landscape change yet again to vast swathes of semi-desert veld. A few animals proved their resilience in making a life here, the most charming of which we found to be the bat-eared fox. Even if a cheeky one did lap up Sam's foot spa.
We pitched camp beneath the one thing breaking the horizon of the Namib-Nauklift desert, a huge granite outcrop (spot the landy).
Only later did we discover that our kopje was the setting for the iconic opening scene of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
