THE OLD MAN OF THE DESERT

Somewhere out in the Namib Desert lies an old man.

He doesn’t move much.
He doesn’t talk much.
And he absolutely refuses to die.

The Welwitschia plant is basically Namibia’s oldest grandpa.

Scientists say some Welwitschias are over 1,000 years old.
Which means this old oom was already lying here long before borders, governments, tourists, selfies, and load shedding.

And what does he do all day?

Nothing.

Just lying there on the desert stoep…
watching generations come and go.

No gym.
No supplements.
No skin-care routine.
No motivational podcasts.

Just two leaves, endless patience, and pure Namibian stubbornness.

The sun burns him.
The wind beats him.
The desert tries to kill him every single day.

But like every proper old grandfather, he simply squints at life and carries on.

Honestly, the Welwitschia is not a plant.

It’s that old Namibian grandpa who has seen everything, survived everything, and still refuses to leave his chair.

And if this old man ever plans to invade Uis…
we are safe for at least another 800 years.

⚠️ PLEASE DRIVE SAFE ⚠️

Desert elephants are active on the roads around Damaraland, especially after dark. 🐘🌙

These magnificent animals can appear suddenly near or on the road — often difficult to spot at night.

If you are travelling to Uis or exploring the area:
• Avoid driving late at night
• Reduce speed after sunset
• Stay alert at all times
• Respect Namibia’s wildlife

Your safety matters to us.

Please drive safe!
We look forward to hosting you! ♥️🇳🇦
