Zebras – Etosha National Park, Namibia.
-
Photographed in Etosha National Park, Namibia.
-
The Himba people live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola. This Himba mother was photographed in her village in far Northern Namibia. The smooth reddish skin effect is achieved by daily applications of a reddish clay mixed with ash and butter. These ladies apparently never bathe in water.

The beautiful Black Faced Impala is generally limited to Northern Namibia. While easy to observe in Etosha National Park, it is considered threatened because of its relatively small numbers and limited distribution. There is also thought to be the risk of interbreeding with the common impala which has been imported into game farms throughout Namibia.

“Survivors” is an oil painting showing two orphaned cheetah cubs from Namibia who were rescued soon after their mother was trapped by a farmer. Their little faces depict the sadness, fear and uncertainty the future holds for them. Original oil painting on canvas: 20×30 inches (original sold) Cheetahs are the fastest land animals on earth, reaching speeds of up to 100 kph (70mph). Beautiful and sleek, they are the smallest of the big cats and their prey is often stolen by other predators. Highly threatened, these animals are in great need of protection. They need plenty of space for hunting and that space is steadily being reduced by human expansion. Out of all the big cats, the cheetah is the least able to adapt to new environments. It has always proved difficult to breed in captivity, although recently a few zoos have managed to succeed at this. Once widely hunted for its fur, the cheetah now suffers more from the loss of both habitat and prey.

Oils on linen painting of elephants trekking across the Namib Desert on their annual migration to the Etosha Pans. They are tired, hungry and thirsty – and who knows how many family members they have lost along the way. When they reach Etosha, in time for the flooding, these elephants swim and play like children, happy to have the blessing of water. Elephants are once again vulnerable. The ivory trade will lead to the slaughter of these magnificent and very clever animals. Their family ties and compassion for one another is evident for anyone who watches and follows the herds. Donations from the sale of this painting will be used for anti-poaching conservation organisations. Please visit my blog to see my posting about the Ivory Trade and please make your voice heard about this issue. Clare Artist Blog

The Himba People live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola, and are one of the last pastoral groups living in Southern Africa. Himba ladies are renowned for their smooth, reddish skin, and even the elderly are wrinkle-free. The effect is achieved by daily applications of an ochre-colored clay mixed with ash and animal fat. This lady was photographed at Epupa Falls, Northern Namibia on the Angola border.

Black Rhinos at sunset – Etosha National Park, Namibia. Like all Rhino species, the Black Rhinoceros is critically endangered mainly because of poaching. It is well known that Rhino horn is highly prized in the Orient as an aphrodisiac. A less publicized problem is that Rhino horn is used to fashion ceremonial dagger handles for wealthy men in Yemen, just across the Red Sea from East Africa.
