Natural features and cultures of Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe yield a fascinating landscape. Mountains, Victoria Falls, the red Namibian dunes, cliffed shorelines, gold and diamond mines, and nature reserves are interwoven with modern cities, squatter settlements, and prosperous and poor agricultural areas. The gap between rich and poor is great, and the residuals of apartheid remain. Norm Moline will discuss his recent travel experiences to this mosaic of Southern African countries.
