Damage at Sossusvlei… this is why we can’t have nice things

Post by Disco Nic »

Don’t really have much to say…

Why do people feel the need to come here and destroy everything…

Picture taken yesterday from a Scenic flight over Sossusvlei… clear vandalism…

More pictures of Tourists climbing over petrified trees, despite signs EVERYWHERE telling you not to…

And then end result…

Extremely sad to see this.

Surely there must be a way to report this lot, especially since their details are there for all to see? Or don't the Parks Management care.

Very fortunate to had been there before these incidents.

The tree climbers have been reported, both here and in Germany…

The problem with the Brannas Brigade is not that their details aren’t captured, is how do you prove that it was that person… that’s the extremely frustrating part about detailing with this…

It seems that the donut gooiers were at the other vlei down the track? Can't remember it's name.
I don't see the trees from the aerial picture.
Still very sad.

Unbelievable. These people were clearly not interested in the wonder of this unique environment.
Looks like the vlei near Big Mamma dune.
Hope they find these bastards. Castration comes to mind
You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4 :D

Wow, that’s a very harsh… 😳

All jokes aside, if the people are ever found, fine them 100k, ban them from Namibia for 10 years and confiscate their vehicles. Let them walk home. CNUTS!

I would start by banning every vehicle with a Toyotaholics sticker on it.

Ja I'd rather gouge my own eyeballs and manballs out with a blunt spoon than be exposed to that.
