I recently visited the Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape, which is a mountainous desert area that is home to the Nama people. I was fascinated by their ancient traditions, particularly their unique semi-nomadic lifestyle. The landscape is also incredibly diverse and home to many rare and endemic species of flora and fauna. I compared this place with other desert landscapes I have visited. The Richtersveld is unique because of its cultural and ecological richness.
