Destination: Khaudum Game Park, seriously wild |
 Although the Khaudum is a small park with an area of just 3,841 square kilometers, it is a legend among offroad explorers and adventurers. There are wild places in Africa, however few are as truly wild as Khaudum. The area is as close to 'untouched' as a place can be. This is the great attraction of the park, and the reason why its wildlife is so interesting. More>>

Khaudum wildlife: African wild dogs |
 The African wild dog has a reputation for brutal hunting in packs. In
the past this has given it an extremely bad name. But the African wild dog is being given an image makeover
that presents a picture of an endangered and misunderstood predator,
with close and affectionate family ties with the pack, that is well

Destination: Tsumkwe, capital of the Ju/hoansi bushmen |
 Tsumkwe is one of the smallest and most isolated villages in Namibia, but one of the most interesting. It is one of the few places where travellers can meet the Ju/hoansi bushmen of the Kalahari. It also gives access to some extremely wild areas which travellers are unlikely to experience in the rest of Namibia, such as the Nyae Nyae Conservancy and the Khaudum Game Park. More>>

Rock art: short-sighted Abbe and the 'White Lady' |
 It looks slightly feminine, but it certainly isn't a lady. First brought to the
attention of the global stage by a short-sighted Abbe Breuil, the White
Lady has at least one very masculine attribute. Regarded by many as one of the
finest pieces of art created by humanity, the 'White Lady' is one of
45,000 pieces of rock art that can be seen at the Brandberg. More>>

Need to know: 'Don't paint on the rock art!' |
 Rock art is extremely sensitive to humans, and is often damaged by attempts to touch it or to make it stand out on photos. Even walking too close to the art can cause damage. Most rock art is extremely old, and has survived for thousands of years. Use these guidelines to make sure that the rock art is still visible and in good condition for your next visit, and for generations to come. More>>
