13 Days Namibia Cheetah Safari
The Land of Wilderness &
Wildlife
Introduction
Travelling in a specially modified truck, we'll witness
the highest dunes on earth, explore dramatic landscapes
and see a whole array of land and sea-based wildlife.
Three full days are spent game viewing in the
pre-historic Etosha National Park - one of Africa's very
best wildlife reserves. We also include two nights on
the Atlantic coast at Swakopmund - a mecca for those
seeking fine beaches and a choice of diverse activities.
And, of course, no trip to Namibia is complete without a
close encounter with a cheetah or two.
HIGH DUNES & ATLANTIC WAVES
First we head southwest into the Namib Desert, the
oldest desert on Earth, to explore Sesriem Canyon and
the huge sand dunes and pans of the famous Sossusvlei
area. There's time for a dawn balloon flight (optional)
over the dunes before leaving the sands for the sea as
we enjoy a scenic drive to the Atlantic coast. From our
base at Swakopmund, we enjoy a boat trip out into the
lagoon of Walvis Bay in search of dolphins and seals
plus a range of optional activities.
WILDLIFE & SALT PANS OF ETOSHA
Next we travel north along the edge of southern
Damaraland and visit the Cape Cross Seal Colony, home to
100,000 Cape fur seals, on our way to Etosha National
Park. At the heart of Etosha lie the sprawling saltpans,
once a lake the size of Holland, dating back some 12
million years. It's now a silvery depression of
dust-laden mirages. In terms of game viewing, many
consider Etosha as one of the very best in Africa
(thanks also to an excellent infrastructure), and during
our explorations we hope to observe prolific birdlife
and some of the 114 species of animals that thrive here.
CHEETAH CONSERVATION & WATERBERG
Namibia is home to some of Africa's premier cheetah
conservation projects. At the Cheetah Park at
Otjitotongwe and at the Cheetah Conservation Fund, we'll
spend time learning about the world's fastest land
animal that can reach speeds of up to 70 mph! Our
diverse itinerary finally takes us to the Waterberg
Plateau Park. Rising some 300m from the plains, the
plateau provides a natural haven for wildlife and is
home to the elusive dik-dik and offers some excellent
walking trails.
