Quiver tree (Aloe dichotoma) is not really a tree, rather a plant of the genus aloe, as evident from its scientific name, and one of the few species of aloe that reaches tree proportions — it can grow 7 to 9 meters high.

Etendeka Mountain Camp located in Namibia is the perfect example of how African communities learned to cohabit with wildlife, rather then hunting and killing it for some quick money. The preservation and the respect towards wildlife provides a better balance on the long run.
Absolutely everything at the camp was build by locals with material from the area. The same was also with all ingredients used in the kitchen.
The landscape in Etendeka was from another world, but the care to be out there and photograph it was very much from this world. One person was allowed to photograph while the other person was watching out to avoid any sudden appearance of a hungry lioness.

Deadvlei (dead marsh) is part of one the oldest deserts in the world, the Namib-Rand desert in Namibia.
The clay pan was formed after rainfall, when the Tsauchab river flooded, creating temporary shallow pools where the abundance of water allowed camel thorn trees to grow. When the climate changed, drought hit the area, and sand dunes encroached on the pan, which blocked the river from the area.
The trees died, as there no longer was enough water to survive. The remaining skeletons of the trees, which are believed to have died 600-700 years ago, are now black because the intense sun has scorched them. Though not petrified, the wood does not decompose because it is so dry.
