This incredible place turned out to be a unique eco-house built amongst a giant pile of boulders in a remote area of Namibia. The house was built by National Geographic photographer and French movie director Eric Valli to live in while on location making his film, "The Trail". He used all natural materials and opted not to alter the rock itself. The resulting ‘Swiss Family Robinson’ style home was totally amazing! After he and all the crew left and the film was completed, the house was donated to the local people of Oase Himba tribe.
