Sustainable Tourism world. Another rare site here is the Lichen Hill, covered in moss-like lichen of bright orange, greens and browns. These, as well as the other plant life, are sustained by a ghostlike mist that creeps up from the Atlantic in the early mornings, called malmokkies or Ihuries by the locals. 4X4 country For outsiders visiting the area, especially the national park, and lacking the survival knowledge, skills and hardiness of the local inhabitants, this is definitely 4X4 country where you preferably travel in groups, and bring everything from fuel to firewood, food and water with you. Inside the park there are no amenities or serviced campsites, just designated areas where visitors can camp in the wild. In terms of an international treaty signed in 2003, the Ai–Ais Hot Springs Game Park in Namibia and|Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld National Park in South Africa resulted in the establishment of the Ai-Ais/ Richtersveld Transfrontier National Park. One of the main features of the Transfrontier Park is the world’s second largest canyon, the Fish River Canyon. Also a major attraction is the flowering season when parts of the park erupt into springtime floral splendour, between June and October, but depending on good rains. The Richtersveld Park also offers excellent bird watching opportunities with around 200 species, especially along the banks of the Gariep River. It also has a diverse range of animals including grey rhebok, duiker, steenbok, klipspringer, kudu, Hartmann’s mountain zebra, baboon, vervet monkey, caracal and leopard. There are a number of guided hiking trails of different duration and distances in both parts of the transfrontier park, with a Hiking Trails Base Camp situated in the panoramic Ganakouriep Valley. The old pontoon across the Gariep at Sendelingsdrift, last used in 1988, has been restored and can transport vehicles across the river to the Namibian side and back. Within the World Heritage Site is Cornellskop, the highest point in the Richtersveld that is the home of the legendary giant snake that the Namas believe lives in the Wondergat (mystery hole), a deep shaft leading straight down into the earth, some 4.5m in diameter, and almost perfectly circular. It is said the snake can transform itself into a young maiden who lures men to the river to drown them. The 19th century prospector Fred Cornell, after whom the area is named, was so troubled by the snake that he unsuccessfully tried to blow it up with dynamite. Or perhaps it was just the heat and loneliness getting to him. www.jaquesmarais.co.za / SONY www.jaquesmarais.co.za / SONY MZANZI TRAVEL| www.mzanzitravel.co.za|ISSUE 4 | 75
