Namibia

The word ‘Namib’ means ‘vast place’ in the language of the Nama People, and is an apt description of this desert nation. From the blinding white salt pan in Etosha, where Elephants caked in the white dust loom large in a flat and almost limitless landscape, to the mist shrouded dunes of the Namib Desert where beetles point their posteriors into the air to catch water droplets, this land of earthy hues is a veritable wonderland for the birder, natural history enthusiast and avid landscape photographer.
