Avontuurlijke 13-daagse lodgereis
Puur Namibië
Gamedrives in Etosha N.P.
Etosha, al sinds 1907 een nationaal park, is het leefgebied van groot aantal diersoorten, waaronder wel 340 verschillende vogels. Hier maken we verschillende gamedrives om zo veel mogelijk van dit spectaculaire park én haar bewoners met eigen ogen te zien.
Ova-Himba’s van het Kaokoveld
Het afgelegen westen was lange tijd ontoegankelijk voor reizigers. Wij rijden hier doorheen op weg naar het noordelijke gelegen Opuwo, waar we kennis maken met de laatste traditioneel levende stam van Namibië, de Himba.
Woestijnolifanten, zandduinen en Apfelstrudel
Over de steile Joubertpas rijden we naar Palmwag, het leefgebied van de woestijnolifanten. Deze dieren hebben zich aan hun droge, rotsachtige liefgebied aangepast: hun gewicht is relatief laag en hun poten zijn groter. Onderweg naar de Sossusvlei, met de hoogste zandduinen ter wereld, passeren we Solitaire, een gehucht met slechts enkele huizen, een benzinepomp én waar u de wereldberoemde apfelstrudel kunt bestellen, een echo van de Duitse koloniale periode. De reis eindigt in Windhoek.
Wilt u nog een paar dagen langer in Windhoek blijven of al eerder aankomen? Geen probleem, wij maken graag een vrijblijvende offerte.
