Tailor-made guided tours to various places of interest in Namibia!
Visit the world renowned Etosha National Park.
Consisting of saline desert, savannah and woodlands, its definitive feature is the Etosha Pan, a vast, shallow depression of approximately 5 000 km². For the greater part of the year the pan is a bleak expanse of white, cracked mud which, on most days shimmers with mirages. In local colloquial language the pan is referred to as the “great white place of dry water”. A series of waterholes along the southern edge of the pan guarantees rewarding and often spectacular game viewing. Several of the 114 mammal species found in the park are rare and/or endangered, including the black rhino and black-faced impala. Etosha’s elephants are thought to be the tallest in Africa, and the black-faced impala is endemic to this area. Over 340 bird species have been recorded at Etosha and stunning game viewing in the Etosha National Park.
Visit the Twyfelfontein rock-engraving site in the Huab Valley which was awarded World Heritage status at a meeting of the World Heritage Committee in Christchurch, New Zealand. The 2 000-plus rock engravings represent one of Africa’s largest and most important rock-art concentrations, where great Etjo sandstone formations provided the canvases used by the rock artists who created the gigantic open-air gallery some 2 000 to 6 000 years ago. Three legendary sites, all of ancient geological origin, The Burnt Mountain, the Organ Pipes and the Petrified Forest in Damaraland are worth visiting. The Petrified Forest is a site of recumbent fossilized tree trunks that was declared a national monument in the early 1950s and is a National Heritage Site today
Visit part of Kaokoland home to the Desert Elephants, which at one time thought to be a separate or sub-specie of the African elephant, Loxodanto Africana, due to its longer legs, bigger feet and ability to withstand drought. The so-called desert elephants of Kaokoland are now regarded as “desert-adapted” rather than a different species. Their main source of water and nutrition is in the dry river courses of the westward-flowing rivers such as the Huab, Hoanib, Hoarusib, and Khumib where they feed on mopane bark, tamarisk, reeds and rushes, and the nutritious pods, bark and leaves of the ana tree. These elephants range widely, traveling up to 60 kilometers in a day over rugged terrain between the different springs. In periods of drought they dig holes, referred to as gorras, in the dry rriverbeds, into which water seeps from below at the same time providing a source of water for other animals of the desert.
