Namibia combines the world's finest desert scenery with the world's highest levels of economic inequality. This travelogue describes a two-week solo sojourn in the heart of Namibia. The surreal Germanic town of Swakopmund serves as a base for excursions into the desert wilderness, the black townships, the world's largest uranium mine and a remote farm infested with tortoises. Marvelling at the mighty sand dunes rising out of the seething South Atlantic Ocean, the author fulfils an ambition held for half a lifetime.
