GENERAL OVERVIEW
| This desert camping safari is guaranteed to run, even with a minimum booking of only two guests! The safari will start in Windhoek and end again in Windhoek - 10 days later. Your itinerary will include the well-known Sossusvlei - some of the world's highest sand dunes are found here; other venues within the Namib-Naukluft Park - largest Nature Reserve in Namibia; caving in the longest cave of Namibia in the Kalahari Desert, while viewing mind boggling, panoramic vistas.
The basis of this desert camping safari is that we shall provide you with the necessary transport, fuel and driver, as well as tents and roll-up mattresses; all accommodation and entrance fees as well as guidance, leaving you the choice of activities and bodily nourishment requirements. You are thus under no obligation to partake of any meal that was pre-arranged at a set venue - you eat what you want, when you want it. Maybe organize your own "food-kitty" or something similar. Either dining establishments and/or self-catering facilities are available at most camping venues. |
