TO SEE IN NAMIBIA

’ve often come across the concept of Namibia being the ‘last frontier’ or ‘last true wilderness’. It peaks the interest, does it not? And in so many respects these phrases are true. Namibia really is home to some of the last truly wild corners of Africa. Special places where man’s destructive and encroaching reach has not yet penetrated. Wild places for wild things to thrive. And even beyond these strongholds there exist sanctuaries and reserves for wildlife to roam, protected from “civilisation” and its consequences. Namibia is a wild place, and a wildlife-lover’s utopia.
