Mother Nature is both architect and artist in this southern African coastal country. Abandoning the constraints of drawing board and grid-lined pad, with sweeping freehand strokes she first created multi-textured landforms.  Now warmed up, she seemed to be in a whimsical mood: “let’s make the desert sands red and the grasslands yellow and the mountains blue!”  The remarkable thing is that this brilliant spectacle is still there to be appreciated, probably because Namibia is so sparsely populated. Animals like that.  People coming to see animals like that, too.  At Desert Rhino Camp, guests can track rhinos with conservationists from Save the Rhino Trust.  Note the emphasis on rhinos.  Skeleton Coast Camp permits only twenty guests at a time to explore their 16,400 km² private concession and only the best safari guides work there.  Or you can fly into Serra Cafema Camp (the only way to get there).  Doesn’t that tell you something about how intense your experience of the natural world will be in Namibia?
