From Hentiesbay to a Sossusvlei full of water

With very good rainfall throughout Namibia in January 2021 the Tsauchab river carried water into Sossusvlei. I drove from Hentiesbay to camp at Sesriem and view this event that only happens every few years.

Can we desertification this area ?
Maybe trees will grow in that area because there are some trees too

[@johannvanschalkwyk2991]

There is plenty other land available for trees but rainfall is low

Another terrible video that degrades the work that went into the project! Did we
Americans help make this video as it looks like something we would blunder into?

[@johannvanschalkwyk2991]

I do not understand your comment , neither do I like it! I am a Namibian and this is my home country and I made this so that all people loving nature can enjoy something special that occurred in the desert of Namibia.
