The Bushmen of Namibia are people related to the San tribe that occupies Kalahari in Namibia, Botswana and partly South Africa, but also Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Mozambique, Swaziland and Angola. They go through life in a traditional nomadic way living on gathering and game hunting. They are masters of living on the desert, are unbeaten at finding water in the driest places and defending themselves from lions, leopards and other man-eaters.
The San, also known as Kung, Khwe, Sho, Basawa and the Bushmen (although the last one can be perceived as pejorative in some cultures) are probably the first people on Earth. All humans can ultimately trace their genetic heritage to the San, it has been claimed. This makes the ethnic group very special and remarkable. And visiting them a stirring, enthralling, unforgettable and an ultimate traveller's experience.
