All you ever wanted to know about Kaokoland

Johan Snyman, author of the book Discovering the secrets of Namibia Kaokoland at the LRON Social Evening Date: 3 August 2017 18:00 Venue: Old Wheelers Club Hall Rugby Road, Olympia, WHK Entrance free!

Kaokoland in the far north-western corner of Namibia and is a barren, unspoiled mountain and desert region that is alluring, yet utterly inhospitable to all but its local population and the extremely well-prepared traveler.

Johan will discuss his vehicle preparations, a 300TDI Land Rover that he used for more than 350 000Km during his research, the fauna and flora of the areas as well as the roads, tracks and rivers that he drove to record every possible waypoint and points of interest.

This full-colour guide to the Kaokoland is the most complete and comprehensive available at present and contains all the information that a prospective visitor needs to make informed choices when planning a tour to, and through the area. It contains useful information on the local population, the fauna and flora likely to be encountered in the area, the geology, places of interest, and more.

The author Johan Snyman has personally driven, logged and described every road, track and river and unproclaimed track, in the area (3800Km of them). Approximately 400 colour photographs have been used to illustrate the above.

His books will be on sale during the event. N$350 for the Kaokoland book and N$300 for the Damaraland book or N$600 for both books. Please note: Johan will hold a talk on Damaraland at the LRON Social Event on 7 September 2017.
