About This Item
([Windhoek]: Gamsberg, 1986) 0868482854. Cover title reads: "Namib Flora: Swakopmund to the Giant Welwitschia via Goanikontes". 8vo; laminated pictorial boards; pp. 126, incl. index; evocative artwork in colour and monochrome. Light foxing to endpapers. Very good condition. A lovely little book detailing the unique desert flora and landscapes from Swakopmund to the giant Welwitschia via Goanikontes. "This book about plants is different as it is aimed at making your trip more interesting. ... The position of each illustration is indicated for easy recognition of the plants along the way. Mileage is taken from the turn off to the Namib Desert Park from the main Swakopmund Usakos road about 5 km outside Swakopmund. The ideal time to travel this route is in the early morning. The colours of the desert landscape are at the best before the heat of the day." .
