Namibia - The Beauty of Africa - A Live Report by Andreas Huber

Description

In his current, completely rearranged and always live-commented Namibia report, travel photographer Andreas Huber introduces you to the magnificent landscapes and animal paradises of Namibia. Feel the magic and attraction of the desert, be captivated by the magic of colors, and discover the wonders of nature in Namibia - a country radiating an irresistible charm. Namibia, the former colony "German South West Africa," is considered the driest country south of the Sahara. We start the journey in Namibia's capital Windhoek, where signs of the German colonial era are repeatedly encountered, and later visit the most German city in Africa: Swakopmund. Over 10,000 km from home, German can be heard and read everywhere. Of course, animal observation is also a must. The photographer shows impressive images from Etosha National Park, probably Namibia's most famous wildlife reserve. And in the north, in the Zambezi region, safaris are conducted on small boats at the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi rivers. Even the Namib Desert, considered very inhospitable, is full of life - be surprised. Namibia's Matterhorn, the Spitzkoppe, is probably Namibia's most photographed mountain. The granite massif offers countless motifs. And when night falls, a magnificent starry sky lights up. Billions of stars sparkle in the darkness, and the barely visible Milky Way shines extremely brightly - a paradise for stargazers. In the Erongo region, a visit to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, an environmental organization dedicated to protecting cheetahs, is planned. A great opportunity to see these elegant predators up close. At the San Living Museum, you can immerse yourself in the world of Namibia's indigenous people and learn a lot about the former way of life of the San, or Bushmen as they are also called. For millennia, they have been hunters and gatherers in the deserts and savannas of Africa. But land confiscation and the ban on free hunting threaten their traditional way of life - their culture and deep understanding of nature are critically endangered. Kolmannskuppe was built in the early 20th century during the diamond rush and offered every imaginable luxury in the middle of the desert: a swimming pool, an ice factory, bowling alleys, a ballroom, and luxurious houses for the workers. The small town briefly became Africa's richest city until diamond mining was discontinued in the 1930s. Today, Kolmannskuppe is only rich in tourists seeking stories from the past in the abandoned houses. Of course, the journey through Namibia cannot end without a visit to the red-golden sea of dunes around the Sossusvlei region. The dead acacia trees make every photographer's heart beat faster. In the soft morning light, Namibia presents one of its most beautiful sides; as a photographer, you find almost paradise-like lighting conditions and countless photo motifs. Desert - Wilderness - Vastness: Namibia's landscapes are legendary. Andreas Huber presents a fascinating panorama of the stunning scenery, the traditional way of life of the indigenous people, and Namibia's wildlife. Enjoy breathtaking travel impressions and many entertaining, humorous, and exciting stories from southern Africa, a region of contrasts and shimmering opposites. A journey through this part of Africa is an adventure, and you don't have to be an adventurer to experience this fascinating country. Copyright: Andreas Huber
