Kolmanskop is a ghost town in southern Namibia named after a transport driver named Johnny Coleman who, during a sand storm, abandoned his ox wagon on a small incline opposite the settlement.

Delta Nature will be hosting Ron Long for a free presentation on the amazing game parks of Namibia and Botswana.

The free talk suitable for all ages is set for Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Benediction Lutheran Church in Tsawwassen.

The presentation will include points of natural and human history interest throughout Namibia, including the highest sand dunes in the world and the ghost town of Kolmanskop, but will concentrate on the incredible bird and animal diversity of Etosha and Chobe national parks. These are among the best game viewing parks in Africa and a visit there is full of surprises.

The talk is more than a showing of beautiful photographs. The biological information provided gives a new perspective even to those who have previously visited these areas.

Long was a photographer at Simon Fraser University for 36 years. Now retired, he travels the world searching out wildlife hot spots. He now takes more photos than he ever did while working at it full-time and has become known for his outstanding nature and travel photography.
