Past the confines of the city’s boundaries, where very few tread unless they have the latest model 4×4 wheel-drive vehicle, is a place called Namibia. Revered by few and an intriguing apocalyptic oddity to others. Places such as this often present wholly strange, macabre and mythical attractions. Nightmares, dreams, horror, fantasy, in a wasteland of utter, beauty, desolation and abandonment. This in turn romanticizes the idea that isolation can be appealing. In the forgotten crevices of reality, a lot can be derived from the aftermath of rustic automobiles in deserts of forlorn, beholden only to the desire of the wanderer.
Taking the long way around isn’t always easy, and a journey through a land such as this should have some on-route stops in countries known for their captivating, yet unforgivingly brutal veracity.
The Urban Nomad went on such a voyage stopping over at numerous, other dusty and interesting destinations through South Africa and Namibia. Below is a collection of photos from Mad Max country and beyond.
