One of my favourite places on Planet Earth is the Namib desert, and its highlight is a visit to Dune 45 and Deadvlei.  I am a keen photographer and the colours this desert gives you makes it easy for everyone to get an impressive shot, the red dunes, the blue skies, and in Dead Vlei the beautiful silhouettes of the Camel thorn trees which died about 800 years ago but still stand due to the climate that preserves them.  I cannot recommend enough a visit to Namibia.  As a Tour Leader I have now been there over 20 times and I still love it like I was seeing it for the first time, go and take a look for yourself…
