TRANSFRONTIER DESERT ADVENTURE INTINARYPure 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 depart from our Guest Lodge in Cape Town and travel into the true remote wilderness area of the Western Cape. We are afforded bungalow accommodation 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 Day 2 Today we explore the Cedarberg Mountains. Unique rock formation hikes, wine farms, trekking opportunities or just simply relaxing next to a mountain stream. We return to our camp after our excursion, and have a welcome swim. BLD Days 3 & 4 Onto Augrabies Falls National Park. After setting up camp, we will head out to search for Eland, Giraffe, Gemsbok and Klipspringer Antelope. Witness the spectacular Augrabies Falls, where the mighty Orange River plunges over the granite gorge on its lonely journey to the Atlantic Ocean. BLD Day 5 Kuruman is our stop today. Depart early, and journey into the maize farmlands of South Africa. Spend the late afternoon escaping the heat in the pool. Tonight we re-enter civilization, and enjoy a restaurant meal. BL Days 6 & 7 The Transfronteir 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 Day 8 With full jerry cans of water and fuel, we embark on an expedition into the wilds of the Kalahari, the bush camp in the Matopi region is our goal for tonight. En route, a hard earned brunch and siesta period to while away the heat of this unforgiving land. BrD Days 9 & 10 Travel the dusty road to one of the best-kept secrets in Africa: the red sands of the Kalahari. The Kaglagadi Transfronteir 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 Day 11 We leave via the Mata Mata entry gate and travel onto the Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world. Sunset is spent enjoying the red sky and listening to the silence. A fantastic destination. BLD Days 12 & 13 & 14 The Richtersveld National Park, First we restock on supplies and thereafter cross the Orange River on a pont whereupon we enter the barren Richtersveld National Park. After checking in at the entry gate at Sendelingsdrift, make for our campsite. After setting up camp, we cool off in the river. We spend three days in this pristine wilderness, searching for unique Euphorbia and rare desert succulents. The days are hot, the nights cold, but the experience exhilarating. BLD / BLD Days 15 A mountain of poison. Gifberg. Why poison? We spend the afternoon searching for the answer to this question. The splendour of the Namaqualand Flower Carpet in springtime is a sight to behold. Bungalow accommodation BLD Day 16 The final day in the wilds of Africa. We explore the San caves and mountain pathways, enjoying our last day of solitude. Spend quality time in the wilderness with your guide, hiking, swimming or simply relaxing. Overnight Gifberg. Bungalow accommodation BrD Day 17 Homeward bound - The route takes the Land Rover past fields of Citrus and over steep mountain ranges towards a table like mountain.
