Red-Headed Rock Agamas

We attempted an afternoon game drive shortly after arriving at Mowani in search of these elephants in the Abu Hoab river but, around an hour or so into the drive, it soon became apparent we were driving into a sand storm. Pelted by strong winds and sand whipping into our faces, we decided to abandon the drive. It was a shame, but it couldn’t be helped. Fortunately, Mowani is situated up on a hillside out of the storm, so it allowed me time to explore the grounds in search of brightly coloured Red-Headed Rock Agamas (also known as Rainbow Agamas) that inhabit the boulders there.
