Namibia on a Kosher Safari: Deserts, Dunes, and Desert-Adapted Wildlife

  • Sossusvlei — sand dunes up to 300 metres high, among the tallest in the world
  • Etosha National Park — vast salt pan supporting large wildlife populations
  • Skeleton Coast — desolate coastline with shipwrecks and seal colonies
  • Damaraland — desert-adapted elephants, lions, and black rhinos
