Namibië/Botswana
Van Kaapstad via Namibië en Botswana naar Victoria watervallen
Zuidelijk Afrika: Cape to Vic
D
eze avontuurlijke, veelzijdige kampeerreis laat u kennismaken met de afwisselende natuur van Zuidelijk Afrika. De indrukwekkende Fish River Canyon, de desolate woestijnen van Namibië, het uitbundige wild in het Etosha National Park en de machtige Victoria watervallen. U kampeert in Botswana en ontdekt de grote tegenstrijdigheden, van de waterwegen in de Okavango Delta tot de bizarre witte vlakte van de Makgadikgadi Pans. U reist in een klein, internationaal gezelschap, samen met een ervaren chauffeur en twee reisleiders/gidsen.
Op de rit van Kaapstad naar Namibië wordt het landschap langzaam leger en droger. We kamperen aan de oever van de Gariep rivier en reizen dan door naar de één na grootste canyon ter wereld, de Fish River Canyon. Een ander fenomeen is de indrukwekkende Sossusvlei, 130 miljoen jaar oud met de hoogste zandduinen ter wereld. In Botswana maakt u kennis met de Kalahari woestijn en hun oorspronkelijke bewoners, de San. Vanuit ons safaricamp in de Okavango Delta gaat u op zoek naar wild en vaart in een mokoro door de uitgestrekte delta. Ontelbare kleine eilandjes, nijlpaarden en een ongelofelijke variëteit aan vogels trekken aan u voorbij als u de kanalen en waterwegen van de delta verkent. De Victoria watervallen zijn een waardige afsluiting van deze gevarieerde reis.
SuggestieDeze reis kunt u ook als 21-daagse hotelreis boeken, € 2.495 p.p. (+ZAR1900 local payment) bij 2-persoonsbezetting.
