Dry River beds

Exploring one or two of the dry river beds found near to Henties Bay in Namibia, is a great way to get an idea of just how dry this area really gets. Next time you pass one of these river beds, stop the car, and take a closer look. The dried out clay can easily be lifted and its almost like a huge jigsaw puzzle. If you do lift something please put it back in the exact same place when you go and remember to take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints. Talking about footprints, you should see the millions of tine animal footprints permanently etched into these dry river beds. Well worth a stop, makes for great pictures.
