Namibia Adventure
Camping Tour 1000 Stars
Under a 1000 stars your tented camp is erected. The tour guide assists with putting up tents and further duties, occurring during the camping tour, e.g. cooking, washing dishes. Guests can lie back and thoroughly enjoy their trip.
ITINERARY:
Arrival in Windhoek, overnight/breakfast in a pension/guest house in the centre of Windhoek. After a sightseeing tour through the city, while enjoying a sun downer drink on Heinitzburg castle, the tour can be discussed in detail.
Heading west, the tour goes via small villages Okahandja, Karibib and Usakos into the Namib desert, to the Spitzkoppe mountain.Here small walking trails can be undertaken.
A further island mountain in the desert is the Brandberg, which caries the highest peak of Namibia, the Königstein at 2579 m. Here we are already in Damaraland, once homeland to the Damara community, who still today travel with donkey carts through the country side, astonishing visitors every time with their language, containing various click sounds.
Our trip goes further, deeper into Damaraland, where we will make use of our four wheel drive. Though dry river beds and stones we reach areas where elephants and rhinos still roam about freely. Other animals, like antelopes, ostrich and jackal are also residents of this area.
Through unique landscapes and plains, gorges, travelling past live spending springs, we reach "Twyfelfontein" (spring of doubt). About 1000 years ago the bushmen people left behind their tracks. We visit some of the ancient rock engravings and paintings in this area.
Via the organ pipes, a unique rock formation, and the burned mountain, we reach the petrified forest. Afterwards we reach a valley, where once a huge river left behind its tracks. Like castles, the conglomerate ruins stand in this landscape.
The trip goes further, passing through Mopane forests to the Etosha National park. On extensive game drives we can view the abundant wild life. At the waterholes, illuminated at night, we can observe elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and with some luck even lions.
On a guest farm near Windhoek we can enjoy the trip once more, through our minds, before travelling home the next day.
