BLITZ- OR SHORT SAFARIS in Namibia
                           (On average 8 to 12 days)
     & an example of a Self Drive Safari (Accommodated)


A.    The Namib desert camera (10-day photographic- / family safari 

        More a photographic experience than a safari. Learn the secrets of the Namib;
          bring the family to experience the moods, colours and - above all - its effect on
          your quintessence, of the Namib desert in Namibia.

B.   Epupa wilderness trail (Standard safari version)

       A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, SPECIALIZED SAFARI!  Specialized, because you
        will spend more than 80% of your time on this safari in the last Wilderness area of Africa -
        the Kaokoveld of Namibia!  This term encompasses the areas of Damaraland & Kaokoland
        - world famous for the desert Elephants, free-roaming Black Rhino and ochre-coloured Himba!
        Epupa wilderness trail (Luxury version with fly-in) -
[Although categorized as
        a "special safari", this luxury Namibia safari is short enough to be included here as well].

C.    Artist's Hideaway - short, 10-Days' seclusion in Namibia

        Calling painters, writers, poets and song writers! In fact, ANYBODY needing privacy and
        seclusion to find inspiration or solace in Nature.
 Perhaps you simply want time to recover from
        some traumatic event in your life & find yourself again - where better than close to Nature?

D.    Eastern Expectations (10-days of exploring the Kalahari Desert):-

        The Kalahari Desert has intrigued explorers and adventurers for decades, but it had been
        home
to the Bushman, or San people, plus its wide variety of Fauna & Flora for centuries.
        Make use of this opportunity to visit the Namibia section of the Kalahari desert.

E.    Short, Namib horse trail (8-day, customizable package)

        An 8-day family package in the southern Namib desert of Namibia, which includes the
        horse trail, the Sossusvlei sand dunes and the majestic Naukluft Mountains.

F.    Footloose (A short hiking safari, fully accommodated):- 

        A 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.

G.    Namib Desert on Foot (An unforgettable eco-hiking experience):-

       Is work pressure & 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 short 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!

H.   Cupid's African Dream (An exotic Honeymoon safari)

       This exotic honeymoon is offered as two options. Depending on your preferences, you may
        decide to choose the silence and seclusion of a desert / semi-desert environment in which to
        create these everlasting impressions. Alternatively, you may choose the equally tranquil effect 
        experienced in the water world of Namibia - no time wasted on pitching-/breaking camp!

        (Of course, NOT restricted to Honeymooners).

 I.  SIR CUPID (A titled Honeymoon?)

        This luxury 10-day Honeymoon in Namibia is offered to Honeymoon couples who are
        interested in Cupid's African Dream,
but would possibly prefer to meet the Cupid-in-charge
        for a more luxurious, most important break-away of their life.
 If that sounds about right, Sir
        Cupid is for you!
(Obviously NOT restricted to Honeymooners).

J.    The Angel's View Hiking Adventure (The prime hiking trail of Namibia):-

       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 & rocky terrain under-foot, this mountain trail demands a high degree of physical
        fitness.

K.   Desert-to-Desert (A combination hiking/camping break-away):-

        Desert is not always "just desert", experience the difference between the red Kalahari and
        the golden Namib! From the well-known home of the San or Bushman, first inhabitants of
        Africa - The Kalahari Desert - to the oldest desert in the world - The Namib Desert! From
        hunting & food-gathering techniques in the Kalahari, to the highest sand dunes in the world!

L.   Active Africa (Activity-filled safari - the last 10-days option)

        This adventure safari is designed especially for the true admirer of Nature, those who do not
        wish to simply 'visit' Namibia in Africa, but to truly experience it! (Normally offered as a 14-
        or 21-day, activity-filled adventure safari, but also possible as a 10-day sectional option).

. . . even less than 8 days . . .

A.   Desert Trail Hiking Safari  (5-Day safari, 3-day hiking):-

        The beauty of a Namib Trail is the fact that you experience so many different aspects of the
        desert – from mountainous terrain to sandy dunes. Walking is conducted at a leisurely pace
        and normally does not exceed 12 km per day.

B.    The hauntingly beautiful "Skeleton Coast" of Namibia :-
      
(Although categorized under "eco-tourism", this safari is so short [6- or 7 days], that we've
          decided to include it here as well).

        Often "beauty" is associated with "mild", "gentle' or "soft". Now experience the beauty
        created in the most inhospitable and 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 experience!


INDEPENDENT TRAVEL OPTIONS - SELF DRIVE

A.    Namib Desert Camera - 10-days on a self drive, family photographic
                                             safari in the Namib desert.
