Discover Southern Namibia

In the cool stillness of the early morning, I stood at the edge of the Fish River Canyon, the world awakening around me in shades of gold and amber. The crisp air carried the faint scent of morning mist, and as the first light stretched across the canyon’s rugged expanse, it was as if the earth itself exhaled, revealing its ancient secrets. Plum and lilac purple hues swathed the landscape before me. Below, the winding river shimmered like a silver thread, its course carved over millennia – a testament to time and the raw power of nature.

Unlike the arid deserts and rugged landscapes of Namibia’s south and west, the Zambezi Region is alive with rivers, wetlands and forests. It is a haven for wildlife and a crossroads of culture, where Namibia meets Angola, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

A Place of Legends, Bones & Myths

In the land where time appears to slow down, where the sea meets the sandy touch of desert dunes, lies the Skeleton Coast. It is a place both feared and revered, whose name conjures images of ancient mysteries, dramatic shipwrecks and the eerie howling of the wind. Ever since my first visit, I have been captivated by its haunting beauty. As I explored the land, a deep curiosity grew within me – a love I was surprised to discover.

Charismatic large cats of Etosha

The lion has inspired more myths and traditions than any other animal. Due to its size, power, as well as its noble and majestic appearance, it is rightly referred to as the king of beasts. Grace, strength, agility, elusiveness and sheer beauty are some of the other attributes that define large cats, especially leopards, with the cheetah famed for its slender elegance and remarkable speed, making it the fastest animal on land.

Etosha Unlocked

It begins with stillness. A lioness crouched in the golden grass, barely a ripple in the morning light. Nearby, a dust-coated elephant approaches a waterhole, flanked by a dazzle of zebras and an entourage of springbok. This is Etosha National Park, the shining jewel in Namibia’s crown, where every turn of the road unveils a wild adventure.
