BLITZ- OR SHORT
SAFARIS
(On
average 8 to 12 days)
& Example of 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.
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 -
Kaokoveld!
This term encompasses the areas of Damaraland and 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 safari is short enough to be included here as well].
C. Artist's Hideaway - short, 8-Days' seclusion at either of two venues
Painters, writers, poets and song writers, or ANYBODY who needs total seclusion for a
few days, yet not having to concern themselves with meal preparation or transport, this is
for you! A choice of two - equally enticing environments - are available,
one in the African
bush of
Namibia's central highlands, the other in the Namib desert. Again, though this
offer
is
published as an 8-day
safari, it is open to customization, based on your needs, interests
and preferences.
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.
E. Short, Namib horse trail (8-day, customizable package)
An 8-day family package in the southern Namib desert, 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 1 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, outdoor adventure 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 a water world - no time
wasted on pitching-/breaking camp!
(Obviously NOT
restricted to Honeymooners).
I. SIR CUPID (A titled Honeymoon?)
This luxury Honeymoon is offered to Honeymoon couples who are interested in Cupid's
African Dream, but have a little more time on
hand & possibly prefer to meet the
Cupid-
in-charge for the most important
break-away of their life. (You only need 2 additional days,
but will receive a lot more. Among others, spend 2 nights in the
Honeymoon suite used by
the Jolie/Pitt couple while waiting for the birth of their baby). 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' Africa, but to truly experience it! (Normally
offered as a
10/14 or 21-
day, activity-filled adventure safari).
. . . 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!
