Charity work in Namibia
I was lucky enough to spend a good part of this summer living out in the Namib desert doing conservation work with elephants. These are a few of the animals we saw. And help with IDs would be greatly appreciated!
This looks like some kind of agama, but I don't have a clue about species?  Some kind of gecko?  A pretty big scorpion - our bags/boots had to be checked every morning as these were pretty fond of hiding in them:  Baboons at a watering hole:  Solo male giraffe wandering around in the Ugab River bed:   How not to drive offroad:

And the elephants:
 I never thought I'd see elephants climbing up rocky cliffs:  Mum and 3 week old baby:  Two different herds with some bulls tagging along, in a valley near sunset:  A herd charging through a bit of wetland in the middle of the Namib desert:  And a couple when the elephants got far to close to us and started playing with the trucks we were using:
