Listening to the Land: A Conversation with Liberty at Onguma Nature Reserve

Liberty has guided across Namibia’s bush for 15 years, the last four of them at Onguma Nature Reserve. But spend an hour in conversation with him and it becomes clear that his real skill is not tracking animals: it is reading the language of the land itself. From cicadas forecasting rain to lions anticipating a storm hours before it arrives, Liberty’s understanding of the Etosha ecosystem runs deeper than most guests expect to find. This is his story.

At Onguma Nature Reserve on the edge of Etosha National Park, a new experience is inviting guests to encounter the Namibian bush in an entirely different way.

Nature Notes: Masked Weavers of Etosha: Namibia’s Master Nest Builders

The southern masked weaver and lesser masked weaver are among Namibia’s most industrious birds, weaving intricate grass nests with a precision and speed that stops even seasoned guides in their tracks. From the male’s elaborate courtship display to the tightly woven chamber where chicks will hatch weeks later, the story of the masked weaver is one of instinct, effort and survival. This week’s Nature Notes takes a closer look at these small but extraordinary architects of the Namibian bush.
