Kaokoland : Truly a Wilderness Expedition

terina — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:08:49 +0000

The Kaokoland is one of the last remaining wilderness areas … a barren inaccessible region with lots of mystique, scenic beauty and the nomadic Himba culture. The latter still live according to ancient traditions. The Kaokoland is also the home of the famous desert elephant, lion and giraffe that have adapted through time to survive in these conditions. The northern section of this region borders the Cunene River, the natural boundary between Namibia and Angola. Awesome scenes of beautiful waterfalls, palm trees, rugged mountains and dune landscapes are to be found along this river belt.

Madagascar – a kaleidoscope of discoveries

terina — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:25:01 +0000

Due to Madagascar’s isolation many of the country’s stories are not documented. This fourth biggest island of the world is the “Galapagos of the African Continent” – it holds a rich mixture of 18 cultures, an astounding variety of landscapes and amazing fauna and flora. It is one of the best water sport destinations with untouched beaches, blue sparkling water, colourful coral reefs and small-personalised resorts. If you only want to enjoy the beach and sun or rather wants to fish, dive, surf or sail Madagascar is the place to visit.

The fauna on the island differ from that of Africa. The worlds biggest butterfly are found on the island, frogs with striking colours, two-thirds of known chameleon species are found on the island, tortoises and a variety of bird species. You are bound to bump into a lemur with various species scattered across the island in numerous nature parks. They are remarkable and differ in colour and size.

The Heart of Africa

Rohan — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:26:58 +0000

In some minds Rwanda is still projected as a violent and dangerous country, but the people of Rwanda said: “Never again” and they met it. For example, Kigali was voted cleanest city in Africa in the 2008 UN Habitat for Humanity poll. It is a captivating destination of beauty, friendly people, good infrastructure and the possibility to see mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. The tourism sector is beside coffee and tea one of the countries main industries. Rwanda is small in size with rolling hills … it is often referred too as the Land of a Thousand Hills. Everything is within reach, whether it is a visit to Nyungwe Forest – Africa’s oldest forest, Lake Kivu or a gorilla trek. With its location in Central Africa and with 5 volcanoes, 23 lakes and numerous rivers it is the heart of Africa. Come and feel the pulse of this extraordinary country.

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.
