Namibia - Quiver Tree Forest and the Giants Playground

Outside Keetsmanhoep is a place of amazing rocks and trees. Weathered igneous rocks form massive teetering towers. Cubes, slabs and balls stacked willy nilly as if casually tossed aside and left at the end of play.

Five kilometres from the Giants Playground is the the Quiver Tree Forest. These amazing trees are not trees at all, but in fact giant Aloes (Aloe dichotoma). They get their name from because some Bushmen and Hottentot tribes used their tough, piable bark and branches to make quivers.
