Combined Namibia & Botswana

Rohan — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:19:35 +0000

Live the Journey in conjunction with Uri Adventures has compiled an exciting new route that includes the Khaudom, Mamili, the Caprivi and Botswana.

The north-eastern section of Namibia is a relatively undiscovered tourist destination. Driving through heavy sand areas and gravel plains makes this an ideal destination for off road enthusiasts. The vegetation and eco systems vary keeping the route interesting with ever-changing landscapes.

The Khaudom is an old Kalahari sandveld region of flat clay pans and dry fossil riverbeds. The riverbeds are interspersed with reed beds and waterholes that tap into underground water sources. Sand dunes are also intermingled in the landscape.

This adventure promises to satisfy the hunger for wildlife, adventure and to experience off-road endurance while being part of God’s magnificent creation.

This will be an experience of a lifetime… join us!

Central Kalahari & Mabuasehube / Kgalagadi Trans Frontier Park

Rohan — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:28:59 +0000

Join us on “The Highwayman’s Adventure Route” on deep sand tracks through the vast expanse of Southern Africa’s largest conservation area.

The 06 Feb trips commence at Khama Rhino Sanctuary, we wend our way south, camping “rough” in the bush, to where the adventure ends in Nossop. The 19 Feb trip does the reverse journey from Nossop to Khama Rhino Sanctuary.

Towards the end of summer, presuming reasonable rains have fallen in the area, the Kgalagadi is noted for its large number of resident eagles, such as the Martial, Tawny, Black Breasted, Snake and Bateleur. These are joined in February and March by the migrant raptors, the Booted Eagle and Steppe Buzzard, and the rare Lesser Spotted Eagle.

We hope to be there when the numbers of eagles will be at their highest. However, we must not forget all the other wildlife we expect to see in the harsh but magnificent Kgalagadi Trans-frontier.

Tiger Fishing – Botswana

Rohan — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:26:23 +0000

Once a year around the month of October, the northern canals of Botswana’s Okovango Delta begin to bubble and boil with activity. This unique natural phenomenon is known as the Barbel Run, and is an occurrence that is unique to this part of the world. The feeding frenzy starts as the water level of the mighty Okavango River starts to drop, which brings small fish from adjacent flood plains into the river system.

This in turn draws millions of barbell that go after the smaller fish, which subsequently attracts birds, crocodiles and Africa’s most vicious fresh water predatory fish – the Tiger fish. Come and join us for 5 days of ‘catch and release’ Tiger fishing in these beautiful surroundings.
