This week on The Naturalist, Bernie takes us on a tour of The Republic of Namibia, a country in southern Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. It shares land borders with Angola and Zambia to the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east. Tune in and learn about bird guano, stick insects, and wildlife in the area. By the end of the show, you'll be a few steps closer to buying your plane tickets and seeing for yourself! This episode was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.
