DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY FOR VETERINARIANS Article #93: Rhinoceros of Namibia, Part II - Accommodations at the Dunes Carl Palazzolo, DVM, MBA W indhoek is the big city you will be landing at from your international flight. After a night there you drive West-Southwest towards the Namib-Naukluft National Park and the dunes of the Namib desert in Namibia. The night before our " dunes " visit from the last article we stayed at what is best described as a castle in the desert, the Le Mirage Resort outside of Sossusvlei. This area is known as the gateway to the highest dunes in the world. You can also take a hot air balloon ride (mine was cancelled due to the excessive wind) and go on dune buggy and quad bike rides in the desert. The star gazing here is second to none. You will get a chance to take some creative star photos when you play with that time-lapse setting on your camera. The hotel fit in perfectly with the desert motif It is amazing that a place like this can be built in the middle of the desert PULSE MAY 2023 19
