About the
Topnaar
PEOPLE OF NAMIBIA
Growing up Topnaar means belonging to two different worlds: an ancient culture and modern Africa.

2,000 native Topnaars still exist with an officially-recognized chief. Only 500 remain in the Namib Desert.

And, though our hearts still lie with the Topnaar, we have opened our arms to include other deserving Namibian young people.
