Es ist zweieinhalbmal so groß wie Deutschland und hat nur ca. 2 Millionen Einwohner, wovon 80% im äußersten Norden leben. Namibia ist ein Land der Weite, der Wüste und Savannen, ein Land der Kontraste, mit regenreichem Klima im Norden und viel Trockenheit im Süden. Die riesigen Dünen an der Küste erstrecken sich 80 - 130 km landeinwärts und machen 15% der Landesfläche aus. Die Ausläufer eines von Nord nach Süd verlaufenden Plateaus senken sich nach Osten zur Kalahari hin ab. Im Nordwesten erheben sich die Kaokoveldbberge und weiter im Landesinneren liegt die Etoschapfanne, ein von Gras- und Buschland umgebener flacher, oft ausgetrockneter Salzsee.

  • Regional Profile KAZA TFCA – Giraffe
    Regional Profile Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area Giraffe Conservation Status Report May 2021 General statistics Countries: Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe Size of area: 520,000 km2 Size of protected areas / percentage protected area coverage: 371,394 km2/71% The Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (referred to as KAZA TFCA in this report) is the world’s largest transfrontier conservation area, encompassing an area larger than Germany and Austria combined and nearly twice as large as the United Kingdom (Peace Parks Foundation, 2021). Located in the Kavango and Zambezi River basins it spans across Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Several key protected areas are part in the KAZA TFCA including the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta, and the Victoria Falls, a World Heritage Site and one of the seven natural wonders of the world (KAZA TFCA 2021). Species and subspecies In 2016, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) completed the first detailed assessment of the conservation status of giraffe, revealing that they are in peril by listing them as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM. Their plight was further emphasised when the majority of the IUCN recognised subspecies were assessed separately in 2018 – some as Critically Endangered. While this update further confirms the real threat to one of Africa’s most charismatic megafauna, it also highlights a rather confusing aspect of giraffe conservation: how many species/subspecies of giraffe are there? The IUCN currently recognises one species (Giraffa camelopardalis) and nine subspecies of giraffe (Muller et al. 2018) historically based on outdated assessments of their morphological features and geographic ranges.

  • Popa Game Park Profile.Pdf
    Popa Game Park Namibia’s smallest game park is big on birds, with more than 400 species recorded here. The park conserves a small patch of riverine forest on the west bank of the Okavango River and on small islands. The course of the river is interrupted by a quartzite ledge, creating a four-metre-high series of rapids, known as the Popa Falls, before the river continues on its journey to Botswana and the Okavango Delta. The Popa Game Park is a popular stepping- stone for tourists visiting nearby protected areas such as the Khaudum National Park, and the Buffalo and Mahango areas of the Bwabwata National Park and, a bit further afield, the Mudumu and Mamili national parks in the Caprivi Region. A small rest camp and campsite provide the ideal base for visiting Mahango, just 14 km to the south. FACT FILE Park size: 0.25 km² Date proclaimed: 1989 Natural features: Lush vegetation, extensive lawns, riverine forest, the Popa Falls (rapids) on the Okavango River. Vegetation: Tree and Shrub Savannah Biome. Vegetation type: Okavango Valley. Trees include jackal-berry (Diospyros mespiliformis) and knob-thorn (Acacia nigrescens). Wildlife: Crocodile, hippo, vervet monkey, broad-head catfish and oscillated spiny eel. The 417 bird species recorded here include slaty egret, saddle-billed stork, bat hawk, western banded snake-eagle, collared pratincole, Heuglin’s robin. Tourism: Bird-watching. Angling. Walking. Rest camp with bungalows. Day visits to Buffalo, Mahango. Communal kitchen and ablution facilities. Restaurant and kiosk. Several nearby lodges offer boat trips.

  • Malachitfischer E King Fischer.Pdf
    Namibia und Botswana – The King Fisher The focus of this spectacular trip lies on the northern parts of Namibia as well as the adventures Okavango Delta in Botswana. Thus you will have many great animal encounters on this tour. Day 1: Airport - Windhoek Arrive in Windhoek. Spend the day at leisure. Windhoek is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Namibia. It is located in central Namibia in the Khomas Highland plateau area, at around 1 700 metres above sea level. The population of Windhoek in 2011 was 322 500 and grows continually due to an influx from all over Namibia. The town developed at the site of a permanent spring known to the indigenous pastoral communities. It developed rapidly after Jonker Afrikaner, Captain of the Orlam, settled here in 1840 and built a stone church for his community. However, in the decades thereafter multiple wars and hostilities led to the neglect and destruction of the new settlement such that Windhoek was founded a second time in 1890 by Imperial German army Major Curt von François. Windhoek is the social, economic, and cultural centre of the country. Nearly every Namibian national enterprise, governmental body, educational and cultural institution is headquartered here. Notable landmarks are: Parliament Gardens, Christ Church (lutheran church opened in 1910, built in the gothic revival style with Art Nouveau elements.), Tintenpalast (Ink Palace -within Parliament Gardens, the seat of both chambers of the Parliament of Namibia. Built between 1912 and 1913 and situated just north of Robert Mugabe Avenue), Alte Feste (built in 1890 and houses the National Museum), Reiterdenkmal (Equestrian Monument - a statue celebrating the victory of the German Empire over the Herero and Nama in the Herero and Namaqua War of 1904–1907), Supreme Court of Namibia Built between 1994 and 1996 it is Windhoek's only building erected post-independence in an African style of architecture.
