- Windhoek - Namibia -

For all those who are looking for the certain convenience, the familiar charm of an guests lodge and don´t want to miss the contact to nature and culture. As on this "Out of Africa" Safaris the number of participants (in Landrover Defender Spezial or Landrover Discovery) is right clear (min.4 - max. 7 people), individually figurations of the routes and accommodations are a matter of course. You'll be accompanied by an renowned, English/ German-speaking tourguide and receive many "first hand" information on country and people, nature, animal world and culture.

Accommodation

Each evening we will reach a lodge, guestfarm or a pension. Here we will have dinner and breakfast. At lunchtime there are at most lunch pakets or we will stop for a snack at a guestfarm. After this safari you'll recuperated, but anyway abound inexperiences to sweep back home.

Adventure Safaris

You can explore and experience the country individually and still be part of a small team. The prerequisite is to enjoy this shared outdoor adventure and to have some own initiative. Also important are team spirit, tolerance and flexibility, a sense of humor and the willingness to lend a helping hand.

Nature of traveling

Every tour depends on the number of participants but there should be at least five adventurers. We always will have enough space for food rations, water and fuel so there is no need for you to think that you will be going on a survival trip.

Each traveler is a member of the crew which entails taking over responsibilities and duties arising in a camp i.e. the pitching and pulling down of tents, the loading and off-loading of vehicles, kitchen duties, looking for firewood, making a fire etc.

Accommodation

Sleeping outdoors next to a camp fire under the starry sky is an awesome experience. Even guests who have never camped before have taken great delight in it. If you wish, you can bring along your own tent (at no extra cost) or rent a three-man tent (two persons only) with mosquito netting.

If and when it is possible we will camp out in the wild - but since this is not possible everywhere in Namibia any more, we will overnight in camping sites which have an abundance of space. While some of the camping sites are rather poorly equipped, most of them offer clean ablution facilities and hot water. When however, we are off the beaten track so to speak, it is more than likely that there won't be a shower nearby. So to avoid you being mistaken as a skunk, tours have been arranged in such a way that it will be possible for you to wash every second or third day. At this point you also can do your laundry or have it done for you.

Food

Although there are many good shopping opportunities in all the larger towns of Namibia, there are vast distances between them and rations have to be purchased several days in advance. At your arrival everything will already have been purchased for the first stage of the journey until the next town. For the following stages we will purchase whatever is required in the larger towns as we proceed on the tour.

The days start off with a small breakfast buffet. For lunch there will be salads, sandwiches, fruit or a lunch packet. In the evenings we will cook according to recipes and the assistance of our tour guide. Indigenous specialties such as the leg of a springbok and ostrich egg omelets are also on the menu. One team will be responsible for cooking the meal at the campfire and the other for the washing of the dishes. For the sake of justice these jobs will be alternated. All three main meals and drinks such as tea, coffee, hot chocolate and juice as well as camp fees will be paid out of the common kitty.

The overall amount (see tour description) has to be paid here in Namibia at the start of the tour. Please have the correct money ready! Before we start off with our journey we will stop at a supermarket in Windhoek where you can stock up on your private rations such as sweets, biscuits, your favourite chocolate bars and soft drinks. All other camping equipment such as chairs, table, refrigerator, lamps, water canister, storage boxes, cooking equipment and eating utensils will be provided.

Itinerary

Adventure trips cannot be compared with conventional group travels. Unexpected situations such as sand storms, impassable roads, technical defects, difficulties with the authorities or other circumstances out of our control may necessitate changes in the programme schedule. So bring your adventurous spirit along and be ready to react to unforeseen circumstances. We should not miss any opportunity of experiencing the extraordinary.

In order to convey a clear and honest picture of what awaits you in Namibia we have worked out very detailed descriptions of how we operate. Although the routes are predetermined they are not rigid. If you want to form a group with friends, acquaintances or colleagues, we are willing to design a special tour for you.

Last word

We will not be trudging around the country covering enormous distances, doing all the usual sites, because this will only make your stress level rise, your disposition somewhat strained and you will not enjoy your holiday.

The object of this whole exercise is for you to enjoy yourself. Time for you to let the beauty of the country and its nature sink in. There will be time for hiking, taking photographs and just plain enjoying yourself.
