The Namib Desert: Namibia’s ultimate adventure destination

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

The Namib Desert if home to the much loved destinations of Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft National Park and Swakopmund. So basically what I just said there is that the Namib Desert is home to scenic adventure, game park adventure, and a heavy dose of muscle clenching, scream inducing, pupil dilating adventure. Namib Desert trips offer opportunity to experience Namibia’s ultimate adventure destination!

Swakopmund: the ultimate adventure destination

Ever heard of Swakopmund? Yeah, well that little coastal town is the adventure capital of Namibia! Here you can do all the fun crazy things your mom wouldn’t do.

So why Swakopmund and not anywhere else? Well because after you’ve spent a day walking around the town scoping out the place’s intriguing history, culture and beach, you feel a rush of ‘what can we get up to next?’ coming over you. Luckily, the answer is… almost anything!

Here are a few of the awesome experiences well worth your dollars:

- Quadbiking

- Ballooning

- Micro-light flights

- Skydiving

- Paragliding

- Sea kayaking

Is there bungee jumping in Namibia?

One adventure activity you can’t do in Swakopmund is bungee jumping. Not yet anyway. I’m sure that if Swakopmund had a massive bridge, they would strap a bungee cord to it and let travellers take the plunge over a sea of sand. But until then…

If you’ve never been bungee jumping before and you were hoping to experience the thrill while in the Namib Desert, you’re probably wondering how it would have played out. Well the truth is, the exhilarating free-fall would’ve made you scream like a little girl. For those who were hoping to experience bungee jumping for the second time, the experience would’ve been different. The free-fall would’ve still been exhilarating and you still would’ve screamed like a little girl, but this time, you’d buy the video.

Sossusvlei: the ultimate scenic adventure destination

Adventure activities in Sossusvlei are less about teasing your breaking point, and more about lapping up the sheering beauty of the Namib Desert dunes and smaller wildlife.

Here are a few great ways you can adventure your way through the scenery:

- Ballooning

- Guided hikes

- Scenic flights

Sossusvlei is home to stretches of the tallest shifting sand dunes in the world. Here, the contrast of the blue sky with the striking orange hue of the dunes is stunning. This experience wouldn’t be complete without a guided hike up Dune 45 – Sossusvlei’s ‘My Precious‘. Dune 45 stands over 170m high and is made up of 5 million year old sand that was blown there from the Orange River and Kalahari Desert. Journeying up this grand mound one can’t help but imagine an ancient civilisation trudging through the sand on a mission cross country with concealed shanks ready for a tussle. Sossusvlei I would label the ultimate scenic adventure destination!

Namib-Naukluft National Park: the ultimate game park adventure destination

The Namib-Naukluft National Park includes the scenic region of Sossusvlei, and is, quite surprisingly, home to wildlife inhabitants and its fair share of greenery. Often one assumes that because an area is located within the Namib Desert, it’s dryer than Woody Allen’s humour. Wrong – this desert does foster vegetation! Creatures that roam this hyper-arid area include snakes, geckos, insects, hyenas, gemsbok and jackals. Along the coastline thousands of birds flock around the park’s lagoons, wetlands and mudflats.

Here are a few great ways you can adventure your way through the scenery:

- Ballooning

- Guided hikes

- Scenic flights

The destination of Deadvlei can also be found within the park. This stretch of Namibia sees trees that have been dead for over 550 years, still firmly planted in the parched, white clay cracked ground. What does parched, white clay cracked ground look like? Granny’s heels.

You must be thinking “No lion? No elephant? No cheetah? Where is the game park adventure in that?” Well, the Namib-Naukluf National Park is… wait for it… the biggest game park in Africa, and fourth largest in the world! The desert tours are an adventure of note – delving into the area’s history and eco-system are just a mind-blowing adventure of discovery.

I know by now you’re ready to explore the ultimate adventure destination of Namibia’s Namib Desert. All you need is the dough. Idea! Collect tin cans whenever possible. Sell them to a tin recycling plant for cash. Book your overland trip to the Namib Desert and kiss Mama’s basement goodbye (for a few weeks at least).

10 Adventure Activities for Africa Adventure Trips

Friday, May 18th, 2012

Have you run out of ways to get that adrenaline rush? Check out these spine-tingling adventure activities that you can enjoy on Africa adventure trips.

1. Swimming with elephants in Zimbabwe

Believe it or not, elephants are actually pretty good at swimming! If you’re looking for something a little bit more out of the ordinary than your usual elephant ride, why not try the Gweru Elephant Swim? Be prepared for a bumpy ride and a whole lot of splashing! One of the more unusual Africa adventure trips indeed.

2. Bungee jumping off the Victoria Falls

Travellers looking for a once in a lifetime experience should try taking a breath-taking bungee jump from the Victoria Falls Bridge. Towering a dizzying 111 metres above the fast-flowing Zambezi River, the bridge is a hot-spot for first time bungee jumpers and veteran thrill seekers alike.

3. Climbing Kilimanjaro

Scaling the towering heights of the great Kilimanjaro is a lifelong dream for many an avid mountain climber. Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, and reaching the summit is a gruelling (but rewarding) challenge. Make sure to check out the weather before you go on this adventure trip in Africa!

4. Crocodile cage diving

The Cango Wildlife Ranch in Outdshoorn has become famous for its unique attraction of crocodile cage diving. Brave souls are sent into a pool with just a cage for protection to enjoy some alone time with a bunch of scary looking Nile crocodiles. Thankfully, the crocs have been bred in captivity so they are unlikely to attack.

5. White water rafting down the Zambezi River

If you’ve been bungee jumping over the Zambezi, the next logical step is to go rafting in the river itself. Why not try the wonderfully named ‘Commercial Suicide’ run or perhaps the more pleasant sounding ‘Morning Glory’ rapids? If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can always go on one of the rafting expeditions which range from overnight stays to five day treks. Now this is one of those Africa adventure trips of note!

6. Kloofing in Suicide Gorge

Derived from the Afrikaans word for gorge, kloofing is an adventure activity that involves plunging yourself into the depths of a ravine. One of the most famous kloofing hot-spots is ‘Suicide Gorge‘ in the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve. Applicants must be prepared to swim in cold water and leap across large stretches of waterfall that can be as wide as seven or eight metres.

7. Gorilla Trekking

Gorilla trekking gives you the unique opportunity to see rare mountain gorillas in their natural habitat on an Africa adventure trip you’re not likely to forget. Trekking generally takes place in Uganda or Rwanda in stretches of land protected by gorilla permits. The trek starts early in the morning and can last up to eight hours, so be prepared for the long haul.

8. Skydiving in Swakopmund

What better way to see the sights than from above? Soar like a bird over the beautiful landscapes of Namibia with a tandem skydive or a heart stopping static line jump. Thrill seekers are driven out to the Drop Zone in the Namib Desert before enjoying a breath-taking flight 10,000 feet above Swakopmund.

9. Quad biking through the African bush

Africa adventure trips should always include a dose of speed! Get your goggles on and get ready for a thrilling quad bike ride across Africa. As an alternative to the usual game drives, many National Parks in Africa are now offering quad bike tours. Feel the fresh air rush past you and see if you can spot a herd of elephants or zebra along the way.

10. Paragliding off Lion’s Head in Cape Town

Why take the walking tour when you can fly? Tandem paragliding takes the pressure off first-time fliers so you can just sit back and enjoy those breath-taking views! Take a leap of faith off Lion’s Head before touching down on the beautiful Camps Bay beach.

Camping safaris with children: A guide for family holidays in Africa

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

A lot of people think that when they have children, backpacking and camping safaris are over. Absolutely not true. Camping safaris with children are great! You just have to do it a lot differently now that you’re going on family holidays in Africa.

1. Adjust Goals of backpacking adventures

The first thing you need to consider is to adjust your goals, because obviously if you have little people with you you’re going to be going a lot slower, you’re not going to be able to go on such intensive terrain and you’re not going to be able to get as far. Evaluate where you want to go and set your family up for success by not planning such a huge trip. Realise that if you are going on a nature walk, you may only hike about half a mile in about an hour or so. It might take you that long to get there since you have kids that you may end up carrying, or they may just be walking very slowly. Also, when you’re not hiking you may need to pack one extra small backpack for each child to help curb travelling bordem between destinations.

2. Gear

The amount of gear you pack for camping safaris with children is also a huge factor to be considered. Even on a hike, you’ll have to take a lot more stuff with you. You may end up carrying all the gear on your back… and your child too.

To fit in everything you’ll need for the hike, you’ll need to pull out that backpack you can fit a kitchen sink into. Fun.

3. Elements on a Camping Safari in Africa

Camping safaris in Africa mean elements varying from extremely hot to very cold. Your children are so important to you and for that reason you’ll want to protect them against the elements that cause sunburn and hypothermia. Make sure your backpack is packed with all the things you’ll need to prevent this from happening.

4. A Child’s Perspective

When you’re on a backpacking adventure with with children, remember that children are a lot closer to the ground. To see the world from a child’s perspective, get down on your haunches or knees and have a look around at what kids experience. From this level it is so much easier to spot the little things, like pretty flowers and interesting mounts of earth. Bringing oneself to a child’s level really is a great way for parents to understand their children more, and understanding all the distractions they are may face along the way. Family holidays in Africa are a great time for important bonding.

5. Camping Safari Fun

Kids love to have fun and nature provides such a playground for things to see and learn about. While on your camping safari, take some time to do fun things as a family that will keep the little ones entertained. Try skipping stones, swimming, chatting around a campfire and roasting marshmallows on the fire everyone helped gather wood for. Check out these great tips for travelling with kids that’ll keep your kids entertain just about anywhere.

Your days of camping safaris are not over! They’re now camping safaris with children. Nobody does family holidays in Africa better than you and your loved ones. Grab your kids, gear and energy and embark on a camping safari you’d still love to experience and share with your family.

Beginners Guide to Camping Safaris – Tents, Meals and Campfire

Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

Camping safaris can be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences you ever have, but only if you’re properly prepared with the right knowledge and the right gear, especially when you’re venturing off on safaris in Africa.

Watch this quick YouTube video about camping safari tips for beginners and get clued-up in a jiffy. Alternatively, just read the great camping tips below.

The Tent on Camping Safaris

First and foremost, you need a tent for camping safaris. The number of people you’ll have sleeping in your tent will determine the size of the tent you need. Rule of thumb: always get a tent that will sleep two more people than you intend to have. If you’re a family of four, get a six man tent. Why? You’ll need the extra room to store your duffle bags, backpacks, shoes, boots and other gear.

It’s also nice, but not necessary, to have a tent you can stand up in. It makes getting in and out a little easier, as well as getting dressed and undressed.

You’ll want to set your tent up on level ground, it is very uncomfortable to pitch your tent on uneven or slanted terrain. You’ll need all the sleep you can get on safaris in Africa, with days filled with hiking, game viewing, dilated pupils and adventure.

Meal Planning on Camping Safaris

Okay, so you’ve made it to the campground. The tent is up, the gear is in. Well, you could take a break. I mean, you worked hard! You deserve it! Crack open a cold one and relax. Okay, enough relaxation, time to plan your meals.

If you’re going camping with a group of people, then you’ve got some meal planning to do. How many people are you going to feed, and how often? Perhaps each person, or family can be responsible for one meal, or one day of meals for the entire group. Talk to each other beforehand. Good meal planning can prevent waste, and starvation. As far as what food to bring, well, whatever you normally eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner is what you’ll bring.

If you’re going on an overland trip with fellow passengers, your overland guide is a great source of help for what food you should prepare for an overland truck full of hungry bellies, if it’s your turn to cook.

Campfire Building on Camping Safaris

Okay, now you want to get some kindling. Kindling? Small pieces of wood that will burn quickly in order to get the fire started. Go out and gather some small branches. Pick them up off the ground in the area surrounding your campsite. On a camping safari, you don’t want to venture off into the bush without a guide on a safari in Africa. There are wild animals out there. Also, cutting branches off trees is a no-no. Green wood won’t burn anyway.

If you bought a bag of firewood, there should be some narrowly cut wood in there. Use that. Firstly, take some newspaper, or any other paper, for that matter, scrunch it up in a ball, and place it in the middle of the fire ring. Now you are going to build a little teepee around it. Use the kindling first, then surround it with larger logs. Now you’re just about ready for ignition. Light the paper in the middle, which in turn will burn the kindling, which in turn will burn the logs.

All right, you’re not going to have a real flamer in 10 seconds, it is going to take a little work: you may have to re-light it a few times, blow on the embers, stoke it a bit, but eventually you will succeed.

Camping safaris can be greatly enjoyable with a little help from great YouTube video resources, as well as your overland guide if you’re venturing out on safaris in Africa.

Close encounter with Mountain Gorillas – YouTube Video

Thursday, March 1st, 2012

Wow. This is absolutely amazing! From time to time gorilla’s are known to pass by camp sites, but for a traveller to experience the closeness he has in the video below, is extremely rare.

Absolutely awesome. All he needs now is to go change his underwear and wait for his heart to stop beating against his rib cage. This may take a while.

Go gorilla trekking in Uganda.

Top Gadgets to use on a Safari in Africa

Monday, January 9th, 2012

If you are lucky enough to be going on a safari in Africa, then you will be sure to encounter some exotic animals and create memories that will last a lifetime.

With an endless election of modern gadgets available at affordable prices, you can kit yourself out with some useful gizmos before your trip to really get the most out of your time on that safari tour. Here are just a few of the top gadgets to use on a safari in Africa, giving you the edge when it comes to everything from taking photographs to finding your way across the open plains.

Night Vision Binoculars

Because of the intense heat during the day, some of the most interesting beasts come out to play at night, which makes night vision binoculars one of the most essential safari gadgets on the market, thanks to a combination of functional factors.

The main benefit is that you can enjoy optical magnification for added visual clarity at a distance, along with the ability to view objects that are just a few feet away, which means you will be able to pick up animals regardless of your relative position to them.

Some night vision binoculars can operate for up to 30 hours from a single charge. They should also let you see in the dark using the light of the moon and the stars, but in particularly pitch conditions, you can utilise built-in infrared emitters which will let you illuminate whatever you target, without alerting the wildlife to your presence.

Long-lasting Camcorder

If you want to capture the safari action in full motion video, then invest in a durable digital camcorder that utilises solid state storage for convenience and longevity.

While there are camcorders out there that shoot better quality footage and have more onboard storage for your clips via tape or hard drive, camcorders that use Flash memory are recommendable for safari goers because of the rugged exterior, durable design and water resistant properties that you can find on offer. The memory is also less susceptible to damage from bumps or jolts.

You can drop some digital camcorders into water and they will come out working perfectly, with a resistance to liquids ranging in depth from a few centimetres right up to 10 feet or more. You can also get units that are dustproof and shockproof which is perfect when you’re camping in Africa. Dropping them onto the dry ground while on safari will not hamper its ability to record full HD 1080p video clips, which you can share when you return home.

Digital SLR Camera

For photography fans who want to capture the landscape and its animals in detail while on safari, there will be no other choice than a digital SLR camera.

However, SLRs can be expensive and you may be wary of buying a budget option in case your snaps do not live up to expectations. That is why you need to find one that combines value for money with performance to ensure that it is a good choice for cash-conscious travellers.

In this category you can expect to encounter models with 10 megapixel sensors and memory card ports offering support for SD cards. You will also want an SLR that features a fairly easy to use set of functions so as not confuse novices, or indeed restrict those with experience.

Handheld GPS

When out on safari in Africa, you will be unsurprised to learn that typical GPS sat nav systems are not going to give you the detail you need to help you with navigation. For this reason, it is worth investing in a gadget that is specifically intended for the great outdoors where paved roads and large settlements are few and far between. There are a number of such GPS gadgets on the market that have plenty of useful features to make them perfect for safari tours that go off the beaten path.

You can get GPS gadgets for safari that have ample, full colour touch screen displays and a simple set of interface features that let you make the most of the detailed mapping of many areas of the globe. You can plot routes, check your altitude, use it as a compass and examine the topography via downloadable add-ons.

These handheld gadgets are good for the great outdoors on any continent and should be a boon for safari participants and happy campers who want to take the tour under control.
