Quiver tree Forest at sunrise, Keetmanshoop, Namibia
The Quiver Tree Forest (Kokerboom Woud in Afrikaans) is a forest and tourist attraction of southern Namibia. It is located about 14 km north east of Keetmanshoop, on the road to Koes, on the Gariganus farm. It comprises about 250 specimens of Aloe dichotoma, a species of aloe that is also locally known as quiver tree (Afrikaans: kokerboom) because bushmen traditionally used its branches to make quivers. The forest is spontaneous, the tallest quiver trees are two to three centuries old. The forest was declared a national monument of Namibia on June 1, 1995

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of the Quiver Tree Forest at sunrise in Keetmanshoop, Namibia. The forest, also known as Kokerboom Woud in Afrikaans, is a remarkable tourist attraction and natural wonder of southern Namibia. Located about 14 km northeast of Keetmanshoop on the road to Koes, this enchanting forest is situated on the Gariganus farm. Comprising approximately 250 specimens of Aloe dichotoma, commonly referred to as quiver tree due to its historical use by bushmen for making quivers, this spontaneous forest holds great cultural significance. Some of these majestic trees have stood tall for two to three centuries, bearing witness to the passage of time and embodying resilience and growth. Declared a national monument of Namibia on June 1st, 1995, this mystical forest casts an awe-inspiring silhouette against the vibrant hues painted across the sky during sunrise.
