Joseph Stiens painted since he was a young boy, and sold his first painting in Brussels, where he was born. After fleeing the Congo with his family in 1960, he was able to support the family through sales of his paintings. He spent 40 yrs in Namibia, where his paintings were very popular with the tourists.Due to ill health he and his wife relocated to Onrus River where he spent the remaining years of his life. He painted his final painting 3 months before his passing away.
He left a legacy of many paintings which are on view at his sons home in Onrus.
Namutoni is a restcamp on the edge of Etosha pan in the Oshikoto Region in northern Namibia. It is one of the entrance gates to Etosha National Park.
The most prominent structure at Namutoni is Fort Namutoni, a fort that was originally a German police post and later as a place to hold English prisoners in World War I. The original fort was destroyed shortly after its construction in 1904 and rebuilt a year or two later. The current fort was restored to its present state in 1957 and now largely serves as a lodge, stopover, and view point for visitors to Etosha National Park.
