Rain finally reaches the End of the World

Back in March 2017, barely any grass or anything green could be seen around Werelsend (World’s End). All that changed when recent rains in mid-April finally reached the West. It was marked by a rare flooding event which turned the small field camp into an island, surrounded by water. After the severe drought that persisted for four seasons, rain in Kunene is welcomed by the farmers and their livestock as well as wildlife.
