Namibian Scenery “The Owambo landscape is characterized by flat, sandy plains dotted with makalani palms, patches of savanna and mopane forest. Its semi desert climate is characterized by cool nights and hot days; summertime temperatures can climb to over 105F. Owamboland is the homeland of the Owambo people, Namibia’s largest population group. Most members of the eight Owambo clans pursue subsistence-agriculture lifestyles, growing their own crops and raising cattle and goats.” –Lonely Planet Namibia |
