Nat Hab's 2024 Guest Photo Contest

Location: Impalia Island, Namibia

In a small village on Impalia Island in Namibia we were able to meet with local villagers and their families. The children were especially sweet in their interactions with us, showing us their yummy treats. The families didn’t have much but were willing to share their customs, shows us their native dances and show us around their makeshift village. They will have to move when the rainy season comes as this village is close to the river and as the river swells safer locations must be found.

I am an amateur photographer, focusing primarily on birds and animals. My wife is the true birder, I am her spotter! Since my retirement in 2017 we have done several Nat Hab tours and have had the pleasure of photographing many amazing creatures. Recently we completed our bucket list of visiting all 63 US National Parks, all 50 states, and all 7 continents.
