10. Geological Expedition
Explore the distinctive geological features of the Namib Desert with knowledgeable geologists on an amazing trip through time. This specialist trip looks into the formation of the unique red dunes of the desert, the old gravel plains, and the enigmatic fairy rings scattered over the terrain. From tectonic activity to wind erosion and mineral deposition, participants learn about the intricate processes over millions of years that have moulded the desert. The tour explores important geological areas where guests may study many rock formations, fossil evidence, and the several phases of dune creation. Participants examine sand composition, track dune movement rates, and investigate the particular mineralogy that provides the desert its distinctive red hue using specialised tools. The trip also investigates how geological characteristics interact with the ecosystems of the desert, including how different kinds of soil sustain diverse plant and animal populations.
