Find the thirsty plant on your route through the desert
Namib-Naukluft, Namibia
On a lonely desert road a thirsty plant is waiting for your visit. Stop, give it some water and experience a little desert miracle!
What you can experience here
In the middle of the barren, endless desert landscape on the way from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund stands a single green plant – a seeming wonder of nature in a place of nothing but sand and rocks. But the secret of this plant is a geocache with the fitting name "Spare a Drop".
On the long, monotonous stretch this spot invites you to take a short break. Here you can stretch your legs, give the plant a few drops of water and enjoy this splash of green life in the desert. Geocachers can also sign the logbook – as a reminder of this unexpected stop in the desert.
Keep an eye out for this unusual plant on the way between Sossusvlei and Swakopmund. Pack a small bottle of water especially for the plant – this is part of the geocaching tradition. And if you are a geocacher yourself, don’t forget to log your find! A short but worthwhile stop in the middle of the seemingly endless nothingness.
