    There are [5] photos and [1] story about Namibia

    Orange River Green - In the baking summer heat, the Orange River forms a up a small strip of lush green amongst what is otherwise a desolate brown landscape. With the large catchment covering a rainfall range from 2,000mm per annum at its source to as little as 50mm per annum at its mouth, this variation creates unstable conditions which carry thousands of tonnes of sediment every summer wet season. The significant volumes of sediment makes the mouth of the river a hotspot for Diamond Divers. Richtersveld National Park, Southern Namibia by: morgs_c Views[157] The Namibian Pyramid - A true sucess story in Namibian conservation efforts. Founded in 1992, the NamibRand Nature reserve covers over 2000km2 of former farm lands and shares a 100km border with the Namib-Naulkaft National Park. Financed by low impact eco tourism, the private game reserve has been restored with the removal of over 1500km of fencing, allowing native populations of fauna and flora to retake the landscape. Namibrand Nature Reserve, Namibia. by: morgs_c Views[286] Sand Rising - Located in the world oldest desert, the sand dunes and mountains of the Namib-Naukluft National Park make up the 4th largest game park in the world covering an area of almost 50,000km2. A unique landscape with unique ecology and average annual rainfall of only 100mm per annum. Sand dunes rise to heights of greater than 300m, creating a imposing barrier to the cold southern atlantic winds which bring vital moisture to the landscape. Namib-Nauklft National Park, Namibia. by: morgs_c Views[272] The Boss - Never far from his pride and most active during the cool mornings and evenings, this large male casually searches for a cool shady spot to rest during the midday heat. The Lion population of Etosha National Park is around 350 individuals. Etosha Pan, Etosha National Park, Northern Namibia. by: morgs_c Views[157] Last Water - As the Summer wet season approaches, a Giraffe drinks from one of the last remaining water holes at the Edge of the Etosha Pan. Considered the best times for wildlife viewing, large groups of game and predators congregate together for access to the vital water. Although seemingly untouchable given their size, Giraffe are particularly anxious and constantly on the lookout for the prides of Lions which are never far away.
