This trip can be designed in different regions. Below are 2 examples of a Multi Country, and a South Africa package. On these safari's, we host your group ie we can do this with just 2 people, and even with a single, single supplemant will apply, through the many different cultures of Southern Africa, as well as experiencing the Urban/Rural contrasts, and ending of with a Wildlife Safari. Dates are on a tailormade basis, and the places visited are also subject to change. Eg #1 We start off just north of Johannesburg at the "Cradle of Mankind" where it is thought modern man had his humble early beginnings millions of years ago. We contrast this with a visit to Soweto, the vibrant "city within a city" in Johannesburg for a taste of modern day township life. We then head for Namibia and visit three contrasting tribes and cultures - the Herero, the "Riemvasmakers" and the nomadic Himba. From Namibia, we travel to the northern reaches of the Okavango and meet with the BaYei and Batawana who have lived in and around the Okavango for centuries. We then travel down to the Kalahari for hands-on San/Bushman experiences. The safari finishes in Botswana or Zambia for a safari. For eg # 2 South Africa my favourite trip combining urban/rural,people, places, Culture and Safari. We start of in Cape Town(Cape Coloured/Cape Malays), visit Robben Island, District 6 musuem,walk in the Bo Kaap, eat lunch in the Bo Kaap, art and craft markets, and visit Table Mountain, winelands, Cape Point beautiful scenery... Then head to the Eastern Cape (Xhosa),seeing villages, visitng schools, meeting local folks. We visit the urban Johannesburg , we will see Soweto , visit the Apartheid Musuem, Cradle of Mankind, eat in local restaurants, etc. Then we head North to visit the people of Venda, arts and crafts, ie pottery, drum makers, wood workers, local markets, etc. Along the way we may stop for a night and visit a colourful Ndebele village. Possibly adding in a visit to the Tuli area of Botswana for a Safari, then finish of with a Kruger National Park Safari. Dates are on a tailormade basis, and the places visited are also subject to change. |
