On this expedition you will be able to see some beautiful locations in Namibia, while using special two-seat off-road vehicles (off-road camper) which allow you to go to the
places where ordinary tourists can not go. This expeditions also includes a three day long lasting trip through the sand dunes of NP Namib Naukluft. This is really an unforgettable
experience and if you love off-road you can not miss this section. The expedition is led by an experienced off-road guide who loves the sand dunes (he has already crossed many
times the dunes of Namib Naukluf, dunes in Morocco, Tunis, Libya and a Simpson Desert in Australia). And with him is going a local guide from a Damar tribe. He knows the local
nature very well plus he knows the behavior and habits of the wild animals so that he can easily help you to track them.
You will sleep in the off road campers which are well equipped for your stay in the Afriacan savanna. For most of the time we will sleep in these off road campers in camps
(which are well equipped). Sometimes we will also sleep in a bush camp which will give you the feeling of being in the real wilderness.
Namibia - this overwhelming country is on the south of African continent just by the west coast. It is one of the least countries where you can find all the landscapes
from the whole Africa in one place, accept the rain forest. At this place you can climb some of the majestic, up to 300 meters high, dunes of a desert called Namib Naukluft.
Then you will move through a rough Skeleton Coast and through savanna, from where are gradually rearing beautiful mountains of Damara Land over to a astonishing canyons
of seasoned rivers which are full of wild game such are lions, elephants and giraffes. Exactly at this place, where the wild game can move freely in the nature, only there you will
get the feeling that you are an integral part of wilderness which will totally stupefy you. It is something completely different then the National parks where the game is used
to the turists. Further to the north you will explore the landscape of Himba Land with Epupa waterfalls and you will drive by the Kunene river which is at the border. There
are villages of Himba tribe where women and children have typically red skin from clay. In the end you will visit Etosha NP full of game and beasts of prey which
is once-in-a-lifetime beauty. Namibia is one of the least places which is that close to my heart.
