Short description

Uw reis begint en eindigt in Windhoek de hoofdstad van Namibië. Hier hebt u even de kans om bij te komen van uw lange vlucht voor u door gaat naar de rand van de Kalahari net buiten het dorpje Mariental. Hier kunt u genieten van het typische rode zand en rustige omgeving voor u door gaat naar naar het Fishriver Canyon de op één na grootste canyon in de wereld gaat. Op weg naar de Fishriver canyon stopt u over net buiten Keetmanshoop om een bezoek te brengen aan een kokerboomwoud. De kokerboom is een bijzondere plant die u vooral in deze regio zal zien maar bijna nergens staat de kokerboom zo geconcentreerd als hier. Vervolgens gaat de route richting Aus of Luderitz en ook een van de meest spectaculaire ritten in Namibië. Net voor u Luderitz binnenrijdt treft u het spookdorpje Kolmanskop die u kunt bezoeken (alleen begeleid mogelijk). Hierna ontdekt u een van de mooiste landschappen en bezoekt u de Namib woestijn en de wonderschone Sossusvlei gelegen in de prachtige Namib Naukluft Park. Hier kunt u enkelenachtjes genieten van de magie van deze bijzondere regio voor u in het leuke koloniale dorpje Swakopmund aan de kust even op adem komt. Hier zijn bijzonder leuke dag excursies in de omgeving te maken zoals de Living Desert Adventure. Vanaf dit punt gaat u eerst naar het mijndorpje Uis (uitspraak Oe ies) waar u eerst net buiten het dorp gelegen Brandberg en White Lady rots etsen kan gaan bezoeken. (het is mogelijk om in plaats van Uis, Khorixhas (uitspraak korrigas) te bezoeken en daar verschillende uitstapjes naar bijvoorbeeld de Vingerklip, Versteende woud of de Twyvelfontein rots etsen kan gaan bezoeken. De route vervolgd naar de noordelijker gelegen Etosha Nationaal Park. Hier kunt u rustig genieten van veel dieren (ook de big 5 is tot de mogelijkheden) en natuurlijk de kenmerkende en uitgestrekte “pannen”. Een bezoek aan de Waterberg Plateau is een mooie tussenstop naar voor u door gaat naar de Kalahari net buiten het dorpje Gobabis. Net buiten Gobabis bieden wij u een verblijf op een lodge waar u een bezoek aan de Bosjesmensen kan brengen. U wordt in staat gesteld om op integer wijzen meer te weten te komen over dit fascinerende volk en hun geschiedenis. Bij het vertrekken uit Gobabis gaat u richting Windhoek vliegveld.

We offer much more than a conventional booking site! With our unique knowledge and wide range of personally tested small scale accommodations we are probably able to offer you the best possible combination of route, tempo and accommodations to suit your unique requirements.

In general we work with small scale professionally run guesthouses, (safari) lodges, family and boutique hotels with an average 3 to 4 standard. We also offer a select number of affordable but exclusive 5 star establishments offering that very special more personal feeling. The accommodations offered as a rule include breakfast but mostly exclude dinner as most places visited have various options to eat out at night. Where the option to eat out at night is limited or non-existent we automatically include dinner in the offered accommodation package. As a rule self-catering is only offered in national parks where accommodation normally includes a small kitchen. For those who do not wish to make their own breakfast most camps in national parks have one or more restaurants.

The importance of good accommodation. As a rule all accommodations offered by us are periodically personally tested by one of our team. Our minimal requirements always include  en-suite bathroom, good beds, excellent hygiene, friendly service, good Wi-Fi, and where possible a good setting or location. We prefer professionally run small scale establishments where the emphasis is on personal service.

Extensive knowledge and experience. Our team regularly travel to southern Africa to enable us to keep up with changes, nieuw accommodations, day tours, activities, attractions etc. By travelling between 15,000 and 25,000 km every year we are able to assist every client to get the most out of there intended holiday and exactly tailor make each trip to their unique requirements.

Our relationships with our accommodations often stretches over many years and as a rule is direct and personal. South Africa has a vast range of different accommodations ranging from extremely basic to 7 star ultra-luxury. In the past 15 years we have visited over 700 accommodations in Southern Africa and keep a regular check on the level of quality and service. Mostly we offer the better small scale personally run accommodations. On average we work with 3 to 5 star accommodations most of whom we have built a personal relationship.

Quotation. As we prefer using the more personally run smaller establishments all provisional quotes initially contain only the place or town name. Once your exact route, timing and other personal preferences are established and you are satisfied with what is being offered we will approach the accommodations most suitable to your requirements. When all services required for your unique trip are secured and provisionally in place you will receive a fixed quotation which is valid for a limited amount of time. These services are obviously free of charge.

Special needs & requirements? If you have special needs or specific requirements like personal dietary needs or if you are partially disabled we will gladly assist you.

Avoid mass tourism where possible.
Avoid mass tourism by using professionally run smaller scale accommodations. Due to the higher level of personal attention and smaller footprint these accommodations are often perceived as less “touristy” even if they are situated near a tourist highlight. It also offers you different types and levels of accommodation more suitable to a client’s specific needs than a large lodge or chain of hotels.
