Homob Waterhole

During sunset, the giant black rhino was walking toward the bank after drinking at the waterhole. I am grateful for wild animal protection in Namibia so the rhinos can keep their lives and horns.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nebrowni Waterhole, Etosha

A waterhole in Namibia deserts is a vital lifeline for wild animals. No matter big or small, various animals take turns or come in at the same time to the waterhole. There is no fight among them when sharing precious water.

Big Daddy is the tallest dune in the Sossusvlei area. This magnificent dune is situated between Sossusvlei and Deadvlei and at 325 meters it dwarfs the other dunes. Should you want the ultimate bragging rights, take a lot of water and trek to the top of Big Daddy where you can look down onto Deadvlei.

The name Namib is of Khoekhoegowab origin and means "vast place".

The Namib is considered the oldest desert in the world and there is evidence that it already existed during the Tertiary Era, 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs became extinct. UNESCO declared the Namib a World Heritage Site in 2013.
