ANGEL'S VIEW HIKING ADVENTURE |
|
| Naturism Home | ONE OF THE MORE UNIQUE HIKING TRAILS OF THE WORLD - REQUIRES HIGH DEGREE OF PHYSICAL FITNESS |
This outdoor
adventure offers an eight-day, 120km (75 miles) hiking
trail
which has earned itself the reputation of being one of Southern
Africa's most
demanding routes.
With its steep ascents and rocky terrain underfoot, this mountain trail
demands a high degree of physical
fitness.
The rewards, however, are beyond words. The trail traverses the rugged Naukluft mountains
on the edge of the Namib desert. Hikers will encounter secluded gorges, sparkling mountain
pools and breathtaking views. While antelope such as Kudu, Gemsbok (Oryx), Springbok and
Klipspringer all make this mountain their home, hikers will also experience one of the
richest
concentrations of bird life in Southern Namibia.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This
hiking adventure is
only
possible with a minimum of 3 (three) participants
and a maxi-
mum
of 12 (twelve) participants, due to the fact that the trail is situated within a National Nature
Reserve.
The Naukluft mountain is a
Nature Reserve, originally proclaimed with the express
purpose of
protecting the Hartmann's Mountain Zebra.
These mountains also support a healthy
Leopard population - always a possibility of
catching a
glimpse of this elusive, nocturnal predator.
Trails are allowed to start
on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
of the first three weeks
of
each
month, during season. (Any of these days should thus correspond with DAY 3 of this
adventure).
Bookings should be well in advance. You will find this trail a true Nature
trip as it
is
un-guided - you are on your own in a pristine environment!
The sample itinerary given below
is only customizable with regard to the number of days, added
either before or after the actual hike, with subsequent price adjustments.
There is a
season
involved for this adventure. Due to climatic extremes, the trail is only open from
mid-March
to the 3rd Friday in October. Bring
along your own sleeping bag, rucksack & towels. Time
will
be allowed on the day of your arrival to stock up with your favourite trail
snacks,
preferred food-
stuffs during the hike, and drinks required. (We
used to supply all of this,
but found that different
tastes and special dietary needs made it impossible for
us to
pre-purchase any form of edibles or
drinks. However, two breakfasts and two
dinners are included at base camp, as well as a picnic
lunch en-route).

IMPORTANT
NOTICE: Due to major changes in International airline flight
schedules, this
hiking adventure will be quoted as SUBJECT

DEPARTURE TIMES! This
means that should you have
a return flight that
leaves Windhoek in the evening, you only need
the
standard 11-day safari.
Should your return flight be either a morning
or mid-day flight, an
extra day will
be needed - thus a 12-day safari.
