Namibia: The Land, The People, The Animals
with Nancy Langton, Associate Professor Emeritus, Sauder School of Business
In March I spent three weeks in Namibia. Namibia is a vast country on the southwest coast of Africa. It is about twice the size of California, but has the second lowest population density in the world. So it’s largely unpopulated. The journey starts in Windhoek (the capital), travels to the Skeleton Coast, and then journeys northward to the edge of Angola with stops to visit tribal villages along the way, before returning to Windhoek. The journey covered 3614 km round trip and reached temperatures of 43C.
The trip included a mix of landscape, culture (including tribal culture), and animals in the wild. The talk will explore these different areas to show how beautiful and interesting this country is, particularly its landscape and its people.
