The Transfrontier
Desert Adventure |
| Off-Road in unspoilt Africa for 17 days |
Pure 4x4 adventure. Unexplored, desolate and uncivilized. Two Transfrontier areas
of majestic contrast, of mountains and deserts. Of rock and sand. Of exhilaration and challenge.
We endeavour to make this safari the ultimate off road adventure, where Land Rovers are blooded,
where they come of age. An extinct habitat, water is gold, shade a luxury.
The moon always shines full, and the sun unrelentless.

We depart from our Guest Lodge in Cape Town and travel into the true remote wilderness area of the Western Cape. We camp tonight in the Cedarberg Mountains. The afternoon is spent on a short walk to a waterfall, or a swim in one of the many rock pools or rivers. Today we relax, for tomorrow we walk. BLD |

The Transfrontier pearl called Mabuasehube Game Reserve tonight. A wild camping night. A little jewel, but a precious jewel. After tedious big sand we finally reach the pearl, encased in its shell of sand. Late afternoon sees us sifting the red sands, searching for those who have not been found. After setting up camp we spend the days searching the pans and dunes, absorbing this desert. BLD |

Travel the dusty road to one of the best-kept secrets in Africa: the red sands of the Kalahari. The Kaglagadi Transfrontier Park is one of the largest protected wilderness areas in Africa. The search begins.
Rise with the sun and resume our search, often spending long periods waiting for that special moment at waterholes or in the dunes. The Kalahari Lion is the largest Lion found in the world and just to spend a moment with this black maned King of the Beasts is not only a privilege but also an experience that you will never forget. The Lion, the Raptors and the desert dwelling creatures will fascinate all wildlife enthusiasts. The game drive takes us north on the Nossob River. BrD / BL |
