THE GREATEST EXPANSE, WHERE ONLY THE
SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF THE NAMIB WILL LINGER
There is an ancient desert deep in the heart of Namibia. Sunlit sand dunes roll and undulate, and are beautiful in a way that is not of this world. Climb one, and look out over a harsh wilderness that accommodates only the strong, the bravest. Listen carefully to hear the almost sound of a springbok cautiously grazing. Around you, there are sand and sparse shrubs. Far above you, ochre dunes stand sentinel against a blue sky. This is the Namib.
