PS: It is the Northern Cape Tourism Namaqua Coastal Route. Did not add photos of the ‘Koning of Koiingnaas’, Dudley Bruce Wessels, till now, because then everyone would have known that this is in his backyard.

What a joy to spend time with him in the ruck-and-maul of Nama sandstone outcrops, ancient dunefields, and green-gray #Renosterveld plains. Every time I venture out with Oom Dud, I realise how much I still need to learn about plants and the #namaqualand ecosystem as a whole. And as always, the hospitality, cuisine and accommodation at Naries Namakwa Retreat is without equal
