The end of a drought era?

Namibia celebrates the rain

Photographs Elzanne McCulloch & Le Roux van Schalkwyk

From the Autumn 2021 issue

With the exceptional rain most of Namibia has received since the beginning of the year, the environment has been resuscitated after years of drought. The countryside is decked out in the greenery of wild grasses and the canopies of thriving trees, while wildflowers add subtle hints of colour. Insects are buzzing about and birds sing their songs of joy. Emaciated wildlife has returned to its normal physical state, and clouds overhead hold the promise of some last rains before the end of the season.

To celebrate our wonderfully green Namibia, here are a couple of images from around the country to showcase nature in all her glory. TNN
