A self-catering, camping safari with caving and desert exploration... a "no frills" African experience! This offer is valid for Any 10 days of choice between January and December. This desert camping safari is guaranteed to run, even with a minimum booking of only two guests! The safari will start in Windhoek and end again in Windhoek - 10 days later. Your itinerary will include the well-known Sossusvlei - some of the world's highest sand dunes are found here; other venues within the Namib-Naukluft Park - largest Nature Reserve in Namibia; caving in the longest cave of Namibia in the Kalahari Desert, while viewing mind boggling, panoramic vistas.
The basis of this desert camping safari is that we shall provide you with the necessary transport, fuel and driver, as well as tents and roll-up mattresses; all accommodation and entrance fees as well as guidance, leaving you the choice of activities and bodily nourishment requirements. You are thus under no obligation to partake of any meal that was pre-arranged at a set venue - you eat what you want, when you want it. Maybe organize your own "food-kitty" or something similar. Either dining establishments and/or self-catering facilities are available at most camping venues.
Your Itinerary:
Day 1: Meet your host at Namibia's International airport and transfer to a comfortable bed & breakfast in Windhoek to relax from your flight and acclimatize to Namibia. Time available for obtaining camp provisions.
Day 2: Via the Khomas Hochland to the escarpment, descend into the Namib desert towards your first desert venue - a Namib guest farm.
Day 3: Entire day at own leisure for exploring your new environment, or join in some of the offered activities - excellent hiking opportunities.
Day 4: Hugging the Naukluft Mountains, keep an eye out for the Hartmann's Mountain Zebra, as you continue towards your campsite in a valley between the Naukluft- and Tsaris Mountains.
Day 5: Be woken before sunrise to travel along the Tsauchab River Valley towards some of the highest sand dunes in the world at Sossusvlei. Experience the ever-changing earth-tone hues as the sun rises. After a short rest from climbing the dunes, explore the geologically historic Sesriem Gorge, before returning to camp.
Day 6: Cross over from the Namib desert in the west to the Kalahari desert in the east. tonight you camp in a "street" between two linear, orange-red Kalahari dunes.
Day 7: Entire day at own leisure for exploring your new environment, or join in some of the offered activities - excellent Game viewing opportunities.
Day 8: Move further north into the east-central Kalahari, out of the dune belt to experience another face of this very early habitat of the human race.
Day 9: After breakfast, you may join the owner on a caving expedition into the longest cave yet found in Namibia, un-developed and un-commercialized.
Day 10: Subject to flight departure time, you may have all morning to enjoy nature walks, or fill those last exposures on the film / memory disc. Transfer to Namibia's International airport to arrive in time for your departure flight.
