Overview

Namibia Adventure Accommodated Safari

Namibia Adventure Accommodated Safari: Africa’s adventure playground. The land of unrelenting sun, where the ground appears to beg the heavens for rain and the vast landscapes stretch uninterrupted for hundreds of kilometres, without signs of human intervention. Living deserts, where one gazes in wonder and amazement at the displays of changing natural colours, and at the animals and plants that somehow survive in this seemingly harsh environment.

This tour covers many of the popular highlights but also includes many “off the beaten track” destinations seldom visited by mainstream tourism. Flexibility, a willingness to participate, an awareness of the elements, and a desire for unlimited adventure, are essential in order to best absorb all this tour has to offer.

DAY 3: KGALAGADI TRANSFRONTIER PARK

Distance: +- 100 km on game drive

After a sumptuous breakfast, we embark on our game drive through the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, a national park spanning both South Africa and Botswana. Well known for its predator population, including cheetah and the massive black-maned lion, the Kgalagadi Park offers unique game viewing opportunities and spectacular bird-life. We will spend most of the day traversing the South African side of the park in search of animals. Our guide will take time to give us information on the animals we encounter in the park, and will explain how they survive in the desert conditions.
Tonight we stay in the comfortable rest camp accommodation, amongst the Camel Thorn trees.

We make our way to Keetmanshoop, where we have a short comfort break, and then continue on to the Fish River Canyon, regarded as the second largest in the world.

DAY 5: FISH RIVER CANYON – AUS

Distance: 335 km

A relaxed morning, we enjoy breakfast in camp before travelling on remote roads to the southernmost point of our journey – the Orange River. Forming the border with South Africa, the Orange River creates a narrow band of green vegetation that winds its way through the towering rugged mountains of the seemingly burnt landscape of the Richtersveld.

We will enjoy a lunch stop and possibly even a swim in the river. This afternoon we travel north along the edge of the diamond mining area of the Sperrgebiet, and make our way to the charming little town of Aus, where we spend the next two nights in accommodation.

DAY 6: AUS – LUDERITZ – KOLMASKOP – AUS

Distance: 250 km

An early start, we make our way across the open desert plains toward the Atlantic Ocean. Our first stop today will be at the ghost town of Kolmanskop. Once the site of a prosperous diamond mine, the town is slowly being reclaimed by the shifting sands of the desert. We enjoy an entertaining tour and a walk around the town, through the old buildings that bring the colourful history to life. Then it’s on to Luderitz, a small harbour town on one of the most inhospitable coasts imaginable. We will visit the cross planted here by Bartolomeu Dias in 1487, and will spend some time strolling around town, enjoying the unique German colonial architecture. This afternoon we travel back into the desert, and stop en-route to see the herd of Namib Desert Horses. Lunch today will be own expense

Today we enter the heart of the Namib, to stay at our privately owned game reserve, taking in its vast plains, red dunes, and towering mountains of stone. Our next two nights will be spent at the GREENFIRE DESERT LODGE, a remote lodge nestled against a rock outcrop, within a conservancy that forms part of the vast Namib Rand Nature Reserve. The reserve is home to a variety of desert adapted fauna and flora, and we will enjoy an extensive walk as well as a day and a night desert drive during our time here.

DAY 8: DESERT RESERVE

Distance: Desert drive

We awake to desert vistas that extend further than the eye can see. This wilderness is conserved and protected through the proceeds of tourism. All animals here exist in completely natural surroundings and are free to move unrestricted over the full extent of the reserve. Our guide will help us understand the unique desert ecosystem and its fauna and flora, so today we start off with an informational and educational walk in this beautiful environment, looking for tracks of animals, and signs of their behaviour and the survival strategies that allow them to exist in these harsh conditions.

During the heat of the day guests have time to relax at the lodge or to explore the surrounding area on foot, should they wish to. In the afternoon we depart on a desert drive. During the drive we stop at a suitable place to enjoy the sunset and a traditional sundowner drink. Once it is dark, we slowly drive back to the lodge and hope to encounter some of the nocturnal animals adapted to living in the desert.

After exploring the canyon on foot, we continue into the heart of the dunes to spend time climbing these spectacular mountains of sand. A 4×4 will transfer us through the thick desert sand to the spectacular attractions of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, which we will explore further on foot, before we move on to our accommodation for the night.

During these days we will conduct extensive game drives, visiting all the little waterholes during the heat of the day, and staying within the park the entire time.
