KINGDOM OF DUST AND DRAMA
BUSH TELEGRAPH • News from the tourism industry
Charismatic large cats of Etosha • Ask anybody planning to visit Etosha what they are hoping to see, and the answer in most cases would undoubtedly be “lion”, with elephant, leopard and cheetah also heading the top of the bucket list.
A CENTURY OF STEWARDSHIP • The history of conservation in Etosha National Park
The Pan's Pink Pilgrimage
ETOSHA UNLOCKED • It begins with stillness. A lioness crouched in the golden grass, barely a ripple in the morning light. Nearby, a dust-coated elephant approaches a waterhole, flanked by a dazzle of zebras and an entourage of springbok. This is Etosha National Park, the shining jewel in Namibia’s crown, where every turn of the road unveils a wild adventure.

Halali • The best base for birding Etosha
THE WET EDGE OF ETOSHA • There is something surreal about watching water shimmer across a place known for its thirst. In the rainy season, Etosha sheds its dusty coat and takes on a new, softer form – especially at Fischer’s Pan, where the arid becomes aquatic and the wild finds wings.

Earth to Light The Alchemy of Stone • Lyrical, fluid abstraction. Curvilinear lines fall into spirals of perfect geometry. Shadows gather and leap, surfaces glimmer. Light bounces off the contoured stone, creating the illusion of movement and malleability. As the sculpture turns – some have been fixed on turntables and are gently spun by hand – a new interpretation is revealed. The sculpture itself seems to be nearly weightless, taking flight.
Travelling in the footsteps of a conservation legend • Northwestern Namibia is not your average travel destination. In my two years of living like a desert nomad in this remote corner of the country, I encountered many self-driving tourists that would have benefitted greatly from an expert guide. From the Italian couple who couldn’t work out how to get the spare wheel off their car to replace a flat, to the Frenchman stranded in the Skeleton Coast, I was constantly reminded that this area could be dangerous.
