“It’s sand, and mountains, and dunes, really nothing you haven’s seen before”; the guide sounded almost apologetic as he welcomed us on the airstrip. Amused, we laughed: “you aren’t selling it very well”—but truth be told, he really didn’t have to. All around us, the dramatic beauty of Kaokoland and Serra Cafema camp was unfolding, as we crossed the mountains and descended to the banks of the Kunene River.
