Why Namibia
More than one desert hosted; One being the oldest desert in the world with rust-red sand dunes so high they are believed to be older than most would imagine at approximately 5 million; a ghost town, deserted and quiet and yet once held its significance in time. Old parts outlining a shipwreck area, from a time before flight above the seas seemed so possible. Communities of Bushmen preserving a moment in a time forgotten by others. This is Namibia, a country sharing a border with 3 other countries, one with untamed wildlife adapted to its harsh environment and a landscape so beautiful it’s worth the visit.
