Quiver Tree Forest

The quiver tree or’ Kokerboom’ is indigenous to the hot and dry condition of the southern part of Namibia. The quiver trees are so named because the ancient Bushmen used to manufacture quivers from the bark of the trees, in which to carry their arrows

Kalahari Desert

It runs along its south eastern border with Botswana, with its reddish/apricot colour. The Kalahari Desert often surprises people when they first see it. It is very different from the Namib. First of all, remember that the Kalahari is not a desert. It receives more rain than a true desert should. The Kalahari is a fossil desert. The Kalahari’s dunes are very different, they are usually greener and less stark – and with this vegetation comes its ability to support more flora and fauna than a true desert.

Fish River Canyon

The Fish River Canyon in Namibia is (allegedly) the 2nd largest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon. The immensity of this magnificent landscape is truly breath taking. The towering rock faces and deep ravines were formed by water erosion and the collapse of the valley due to movements in the earth's crust over 500 million years ago. Today the canyon measures 160km long up to 27km wide and almost 550m at its deepest. It is fair to say that when you arrive at the canyon though, its exact location is a bit of a mystery as the 500m vertical drop from the flat dry plateau is completely out of view.
