Stanley Stewart writes about his time travelling to Namibia and through Kaokoland. Coming across mysterious fairy circles, a Himba nomad resembling the queen of Sheba, and travelling over undulating dunes that Stewart describes ‘not as a static backdrop, but as creatures with a past’, he ends up at the Skeleton Coast, a place ‘barnacled with legends, haunted with ghosts, veiled with sea mist’ and ‘littered with the bones of whales and the ribs of wrecked ships’. A susequently award-winning piece of journalism.
