The Realm of the Desert Elephant is a magical photographic journey through Namibia's Kunene region in Northwest Namibia, one of the last true wilderness areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. This spectacular book captures not only the elusive desert elephants in their natural habitat, but explores the ancient lands of Kaokoland and Damaraland. These two very contrasting areas are the home of a huge diversity of wonderful wildlife, from dung beetles and mopani moths to the black rhino, giraffes and, of course, the elephants majestically patrolling the riverbeds and eking out a living in this often merciless environment. The Realm of the Desert Elephant also explores the lives of the semi-nomadic Himba people. The book includes wonderful aerial photography to further demonstrate the rich diversity of the region.
