On Thursday morning, a female Namaqua chameleon (Chamaeleo namaquensis) was busy digging a nest burrow, right in the middle of one of our farm roads.

It’s a clever choice, although risky. The packed road surface is hard and stable, so the tunnel won’t cave in on her while she digs. She can go deep, about 20 cm down at a shallow angle, where the soil stays cool and holds its moisture (until the next rains fall, and the eggs will hatch)

Unlike their tree-climbing cousins, Namaqua chameleons live on the ground. If you’re driving in the Aus area, slow down and watch the road. That “stick” on the gravel might be one of our desert dwellers.

Thanks to Juan-te Fourie for capturing this moment.

The Namaqua chameleon is one of Klein-Aus Vista’s special desert residents. Sadly, they are sometimes injured or killed by vehicles on the roads, especially because they blend so well into the surrounding sand and stones. You can help protect them by keeping to the speed limits, driving slowly, and watching the road carefully as you move through the farm.
If you see a chameleon crossing the road, here’s how you can help:

Step 1: First observe the direction it is moving. This helps you know which side of the road it is trying to reach.

Step 2: If it is safe to do so, gently move the chameleon off the road and 15m+ into the veld on the side it was already heading towards. Some chameleons may hiss or give a small defensive pinch when frightened, so handle them calmly and carefully.

Step 3: Please send our team a picture and tell us where the chameleon was spotted, so we can keep track of these special sightings.

Thank you for helping us protect the small desert lives that make Klein-Aus Vista so unique.

At the beginning of August the Aus mountains were clothed in spectacular color as the yellow flowers had spreaded over the rugged landscape and plains. Yellow Gazanias, Felicia Arctotis and more... Here are a few scenes caught on camera by Piet Swiegers who discovered it while mountain biking the 90 000 ha Klein-Aus Vista Sperrgebied Rand Protected area. This was truly a special season, and we can’t wait to share it again with you!

This Namaqualand Chameleon was spotted moving carefully through the desert landscape, surrounded by tiny flowers and new green life after the early winter rains. Please drive slowly on our farm roads and keep an eye out for these special desert residents. Every small life here forms part of the delicate balance of this place.

Eagle’s Nest Chalets feel deeply connected to the desert, with their structures built around the natural rock formations at the foot of the mountains. From here, the views stretch wide across the plains, offering a peaceful sense of space that is difficult to describe until you stand there yourself. The month of July felt especially beautiful, with winter blooms adding soft color to the chilly season.

On my way from Eagles Nest Chalets I saw an ostrich wandering in a wide open field during a sunset. The moment was so peaceful and beautiful I had to stop and watch it for a moment before I continued driving. This is one of my favorite ways to spend my time at Klein-Aus Vista, to pause early morning or evening and just appreciate the gift of nature.

Nemesia fleckii has the appearance of Snapdragons, but they are much smaller than they look in this picture. Usually they grow between 10 to 15cm tall, but this one was only 5cm. It sprouted from among the sandy soils of a dry river bed. With their rich colour and fine detail, they almost look as though they belong in a home garden. Yet here they are, thriving for a short season in the cool winter conditions of the Aus desert.

The Aus mountains are glowing with sunny Gazania carpets. It makes every step you take here at Klein-Aus Vista extra special. But, they will not last forever. As soon as the warmth of spring arrives, all these beautiful blooms will start to disappear and scatter their seed to patiently wait for the next winter rains to arrive.

This flower season is truly beautiful, and we will enjoy sharing each moment with you until it fades. The lovely pictures of the blooming desert were taken by Piet Swiegers.

Where the first Blue Sporries began the season in soft purple tones, yellow flowers have started to brighten the fields. Gazanias, Aus Daisies, Hirpicium and other desert blooms are adding warmth to the landscape, standing out beautifully against the new green growth and rocky ground.

It is a season that brings an interesting contrast — delicate flowers among rocks, bright colors against pale desert landscapes, and life growing in the dry land.
