Safari Profile:   From: Johannesburg     To: Windhoek     Countries: South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe or Zambia, Namibia     Duration: 26 days     Price: from 5.330 EUR per person all inclusive     Briefing: The "Botswana Namibia Overland" is our longest Safari. It combines multifaceted landscapes with densely populated wilderness areas and culture. An exceptional and very intense experience. It starts in Johannesburg and ends in Windhoek. If required a transfer to Cape Town or back to Johannesburg can be arranged.

Our "Botswana Namibia Overland" proceeds our legendary "Magic Botswana" (kindly refer to its routing) into the neighbouring Namibia. After experiencing an animal rich Botswana Namibia will then reward you with outstanding landscapes and cultural experience. Our routing takes us to remotest locations of the country which are not even experienced by many country experts.

After having crossed Botswana with all its supreme National Parks and dens animal population we are visiting the legendary Victoria Falls before we then enter into Namibia and the Caprivi Strip. Our first camp is Mdumu National Park on the banks of the scenic Kwando River. Blessed with more than 430 bird species it provides a colourful chirping background. The lush and luxuriant oasis of Ngepi is base camp for a visit to Mahango Park. We than depart for a long, sandy stretch down South to the remote Kaudom National Park. This park is characterised by dry riverbeds hardly carrying water and bizarre sere forests although Elephants can be spotted in this harsh environment. The coming leg again is very sandy and asks for good off road driving skills. It will lead us to Tsumkwe being the hub of Namibia's Bushmen area. On a walking safari through the bush we learn about their impressive native skills and knowledge. Etosha Pan is probably the best known National Park in Namibia and a game drive at night will impart unforgettable impressions. Located in the far North the mighty Kaokoveld is another rather untouched region in Namibia. The almost inaccessible area south of the Kunene River is home to the Himba ethnic group. Turning south our Safari crosses the rugged and striking area of Damaraland. Landscape varies from grass plains to rolling dunes and granite hill formations. We enjoy a visit to impressive Brandberg rock and find ancient engravings and Bushman paintings near Tvyfelfontein before we eventually reach civilisation returning to Windhoek. Here our Safari program ends. However, transfer to Cape Town or back to Johannesburg can be arranged.

This Safari is an absolute culmination for any admirer of true wilderness, ever shifting landscapes and ethnic cultures. A Safari for the true overland enthusiast which also requires uncompromising off-road driving.
