SAFARIS in NAMIBIA
VERY SMALL, BASIC & INDIVIDUAL ECO-TOURS:
A series for individuals such as
naturalists, historians, photographers, students and the culturally-
inclined, typically focusing on topics such as ecology, animals, natural
phenomena, local scenic
wonders and/or aspects of local traditional cultures in Namibia.
A. The Angel's View hike on the Naukluft Mountains
This is an 8-day, unguided hike on
the Naukluft Mountains. The entire Naukluft Mountain, and
immediately surrounding area, is a National Nature Reserve. It was originally
proclaimed with
the express purpose of protecting the Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra. Proposed 12-day
itinerary.
B. Introduction to the Ova-Himba & their Homeland
The first known human inhabitants of the Kaokoveld in Namibia are believed to be Herero
ancestors who
migrated from the Moçamendes province of Angola around 1550. Today there
are
about 5000
Ova-Himba resident in Kaokoland - fairly concentrated around the Epupa Falls
in
the Kunene
River. Proposed 10-day itinerary.
C. Eco-systems of the Namib desert
The oldest desert in the world!
This fact can be witnessed throughout the Namib by experiencing
how the various life forms have adapted over many years. Best to experience them
all in person!
By reading “The Bushman Paper” (natural signs and tracks), and a little bit of
luck (the Namib is
not a zoo), you could encounter most of these Namibian life forms. Proposed 10-day itinerary.
D. The Bushman of the Kalahari
The oldest human inhabitants of Africa, whether in the Kalahari desert section
of Namibia,
South Africa or Botswana, the moods
of the Kalahari desert, can only truly be appreciated
by the vegetation, creatures & human life dependent on the desert for
sustenance, protection
and survival – those who call the Kalahari their home. Proposed 10-day
itinerary.
ORGANIZED ECO-SAFARIS:
A. The hauntingly beautiful "Skeleton Coast" of Namibia :-
Often
"beauty" is associated with "mild", "gentle' or
"soft". Now experience the beauty created
in the most inhospitable & desolate, rugged
landscapes - probably the most formidable coastline
of the world -
The Skeleton Coast of
Namibia.
Not merely a holiday, but a true once in a
lifetime
ecotourism
experience!
B. Footloose (A short, ecotourism hiking safari, fully accommodated):-
A Namibia hiking
safari starting off on the edge of the Kalahari desert,
then includes the wide
open
vistas of the Namib desert, as well
as the well-known Sossusvlei with its high sand dunes
and
ever-changing
colours.
C. Namib Desert on Foot (An unforgettable
ecotourism, hiking
experience):-
(PLEASE NOTE: This eco-hike
is NOT possible without a minimum of 6 hikers).
Is work pressure
and stress getting you down? Just one week off work, Saturday to Saturday,
and you will return,
feeling as someone who has just been on a long vacation. The highlight
of
this ecotourism safari is a three-day, guided hiking trail along
the Uchab river in the coastal
Wilderness area of Namibia's Kaokoveld - the last
true Wilderness area in Africa!
