Why we love it

 FunFact: Prof. Norbert Jürgens from the University of Hamburg has been systematically investigating the phenomenon of fairy circles since 2008, with measuring stations in fairy-circle areas from the southwest of Angola to the northwest of South Africa - including one in Gondwana Namib Park. He is a longtime member of the Gondwana family and eagerly shares his knowledge with our guides at the Lodges!
