In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Namibia.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Namib desert, at 80 million years, is the world’s oldest desert. Namib means “open space”.
2. Fish River Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world, after the Grand Canyon - it is 161km long, up to 27km wide and 550m deep, formed about 500 million years ago.
3. Shipwrecks dot the wild Skeleton Coast coastline and elephants wander through the sand dunes that plunge directly into the freezing Atlantic ocean. A desolate place that’s extremely rewarding for the adventurous traveler.
4. Namibia is the second least densely populated country in the world. It has a population of ~2 million in a country that is twice the size of California. Only Mongolia is less populous. Keep in mind that Namibia’s land mass is the equivalent to that of Spain and Germany combined.
5. Namibia is one of the youngest countries in Africa. It only got independence from South African rule on March 21, 1990. It is currently the 3rd youngest country in Africa.
6. Kolmanskop, located near to the town of Lüderitz, is Namibia’s most famous ghost town. Kolmanskop was established as a mining town when in 1908 diamonds were found along the cost in Lüderitz. The diamond rush led to the establishment of the town. When 30 years later, the diamonds in that area became depleted, Kolmanskop changed into a ghost town. Currently Kolmanskop is one of the most beautiful and special places to visit in Namibia, especially for photographers.
7. Even though Namibia has a very small population, the country is home to 13 different ethnic groups. The Ovambo group represents nearly half the population. The most famous ethnic group are the Himba, a semi nomadic tribe living in the north eastern part of the country. They still live according to traditional beliefs and culture and especially the woman are known for rubbing their skin with red ochre.
