The nation of Namibia is in southern Africa, just north of Good Hope. The vast majority of the population are either hunter-gatherers or subsistence herders or farmers. Except for some areas near the borders, some Bantu enclaves, and the coast (like Walvis Bay and the Dutch-influenced city of Swakopmund), nearly the entire country is composed of Khoisan ethnic groups. Namibia has the highest percentage of Khoisan people (92%) of any nation (though Zambezia (89% Khoisan) has the greatest number).
