s a photographer and avid traveller, I have been drawn to Namibia time and time again, captivated by its stunning landscapes. From the vast expanse of the oldest desert in the world, the Namib, to the rugged grandeur of the Spitzkoppe mountains, Namibia offers a photographer's paradise like no other.

The following locations hold a special place in my heart, not only for their photographic opportunities but also for their cultural and spiritual significance.

One of my favourite stories about the origins of these Wild Horses is that they are the descendants of a shipwreck off the coast near Gansbaai in 1852. The ship was the British naval frigate HMS Birkenhead, which had been converted into a troop carrier. The ship was en route to Algoa Bay, carrying troops to fight the Xhosa. There were 643 people aboard, mostly soldiers but also civilians and children. As well as nine horses from the 8th Calvery.
