Could be S Africa near Pilansberg. The dead plant looks like an aloe vera

I worked up there for 6 months back in 1973 and managed a tour of Etosha Pan just along the road a bit - a spectacular landscape and peoples.

Namibia is one of the best countries south of the equator.
And the Etosha National Park is a great experience.
Unfortunately NamibAir was not very reliable but the only airline with direct flights from Munic. The airline finally got liquidated some years ago.

During two periods of working in Africa for five years in total I can honestly say that you may leave the place but it never leaves you, it is a spectacular vibrant country full of excitement and new opportunities like no other for us.
We came very close to settling in Cape Town.

A great continent, but I was on some places where I would not like to settle for permanent.
Nigeria and the Sudan are locations where a return is not on my high priority list.
But I know exactly what you mean.
