Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape, South Africa - UNESCO World Heritage Site

 Place: Richtersveld Cultural and Botanical Landscape, South Africa

Weather: Sunny, 61/91F.

Route: From Cape Town 699 km north on N7.

Significance: For thousands of years the Nama people have been living a nomadic lifestyle in this desert landscape. They tend to goats, who thrive in this region. They live in small houses that can be moved easily - as they must move every 3-4 months to prevent overgrazing.
