Depart Swakopmund at sunrise following the
Swakop River where you will witness the early morning shadows
accentuate the geological features of the Moon Landscape and those
of the river bed which has been carved through some of the oldest
granites on the planet. Turning north you'll see the Klein, and the
Grosse Spitzkoppe These granite inselbergs pushed their way up
through the softer sedimentary rocks some 130 million years ago
during the early stages of the break-up of Gondwanaland. Since then
ongoing wind and weather erosion of the softer surrounding rocks has
left the mountain standing some 1730 meters above the desert floor.
To the east you have a birds eye view of the grandiose Western Wall
of the Erongo Mountains which are of similar age. Your flight then
steers for the Brandberg Mountain which is home to over 45,000
bushmen painting including the famous "White Lady of Brandberg" and
has the Konigstein as Namibia's highest point at xxx meters. Then
flying along the 'normally' dry Ugab River bed you might catch views
of oryx and sometimes the elusive desert elephant. You arrive
at the Skeleton Coast where you fly down to Cape Cross where Diogo Còo
the Portuguese explorer mariner landed in January 1486 and erected a
Padräo to claim this land for King Joäo
II and Christ. Here you will see the largest colony of Cape Fur
Seals, some playing in the surf. Returning along the coast to
Swakopmund
From N$xxxxx,-- per person.

6. Himba Adventure near Opuwo. Fly and Drive
Combination Tour.
|
|
 |
This tour contains all of the
sights you would see on the Damaraland Tour. And also takes you deep into Kaokoland,
a vast and remote part of North West Namibia. This is the tribal lands
of the Himba people, nomadic herdsmen who settled this secluded part
of Namibia during the migrations of the mid-second millennia. Many
of their traditions and words are similar to those of the tribes-people
of the Great-Lakes-Region of East-Africa.
The Himba are of the same group as the Herero.
It was during the inter-tribal power struggles of the mid-nineteenth
century between the Nama of the south and the Herero that this group,
owing to their remoteness survived the ethnic cleansings of the Nama
War-Lord Jonker Afrikaner, and until quite recently the pressures of
modern society. The Himba hold-on dearly to their traditional way of
life. But, for how long this can, or will continue remains to be seen.
Your flight lands at Opuwo where your Tour
Guide with 4x4 awaits to take you to a Himba Village.
