Both 4x4 trips involve spectacular 4x4 roads, give a feeling for the rugged nature of the escarpment region and provide breathtaking views of the escarpment itself and from the top of the Rooirand Escarpment westwards across the mountains and plains of the ProNamib. May see kudu, springbok, gemsbok, klipspringer and a variety of birds (including Ruppel's Koraan and Black Eagle). The domain of leopard, the dassie rat and the girdled lizard (among other mammals and reptiles). Stunted Karoo savanna scrub on the highest parts of the escarpment. Various microclimates have provided records of unusual and isolated colonies of insects (butterflies, moths, solifuge spiders).
