Namibië/Botswana
Rondreis langs de mooiste woestijngebieden en delta's
Namibie en Botswana - Desert & Delta
W
ildlife, woestijnen en waterwegen zult u in overvloed tegenkomen bij deze prachtige groepsreis. Zo starten we bij de indrukwekkende Victoria Watervallen, ook wel Mosi-oa-Tunya (de rook die dondert) genoemd. In het Etosha National Park is er een overvloed aan wildlife. De omgeving van Ugab word versierd door een aantal historische muurschilderingen en u ontmoet de oorspronkelijke bewoners van de Kalahari woestijn. In de Okavango Delta zult u genieten van de prachtige wandelingen, wateren en vogels.
Etosha National Park
Het Etosha National Park word ook wel ‘The Great White Place’ genoemd. Deze naam heeft dit park te danken aan zijn grote witte zoutpan die in het park ligt. Slechts enkele keren per jaar zal u water vinden in dit uitgestrekte meer. Tijdens de juiste reistijd, aan het einde van de regentijd, van november tot begin april, word het hier druk bezocht door grote aantallen wilfdlife waarbij u ongeveer 114 verschillende zoogdieren kunt spotten en ca. 340 vogelsoorten. Etosha is een geliefd wildpark, mede dankzij het feit dat, door de schaarse vegetatie en de in open vlaktes gelegen waterplaatsen, het wild zeer goed te observeren is.
Swakopmund
Aan de westkust van Namibië ligt de stad Swakopmund. De stad stamt uit de tijd van de duitse koloniale periode met nog echte typische duitse architectuur. U zult hier dus ook veel Duitse straatnamen, winkels en restaurants vinden. Zo kunt u hier dus genieten van een echte schnitzel en apfelstrudel. Tegenwoordig staat Swakopmund bekend om z’n activiteiten zoals parachutespringen en quadbiken.
Okavango Delta
De Okavango Delta heeft een oppervlakte van 18.000 km² en bestaat uit vele waterwegen, beboste eilanden en ondergelopen grasweilanden. Deze delta biedt een thuis aan verschillende dieren zoals olifanten, nijlpaarden en vele vogelsoorten. U zult twee nachten kamperen in tentjes op een verlaten eiland in de delta. Van daaruit zult u de natuur van heel dichtbij ervaren door niet in een voertuig. U gaat deze unieke wildernis juist te voet ontdekken onder begeleiding van de ervaren gids.
