Trevor Stafford's tours at the Atlantic Coast |
Full Impact Safaris Namibia
Specializes in tailor-made safaris for small groups. It is a one man
tour company, run by Trevor Stafford.
Coastal Tours
The Namib Desert is the oldest desert in the world (some 80 million
years old) and is home to the Welwitschia Mirabillis, a botanical curiosity
and one of the most fascinating plants in the world (one of the plants in the
Namib has a recorded age of about 1500 years). The dunes create the essential
character of the Namib - which has some of the highest dunes in the world as
well as being the most photographed.
Welwitschia, Lichen & Moon Landscape: The Moon Landscape is a
geological phenomenon. This area consists of granite and mica-schists eroded
into badland topography over millions of years.
Flamingo, Birding and Oyster Tours: Walvis Bay Lagoon is considered to
be the most important coastal wetland in Southern Africa today as well as one
of the most important bird areas in Africa. The lagoon is home to the greatest
concentration of sea and shore birds in Southern Africa. It is a declared
Ramsar Site (and a wetland of International importance). Flamingo, birding and
oyster/champagne tours, seal and dolphin tours, kayaking, catamaran sailing,
quad-biking, sand-boarding, angling, are some of the activities available at
the coast. Full list is here.
Inland Tours
Etosha: The Etosha National Park is one of the major sanctuaries
for wildlife in Africa. You will see large herds of game in a setting that is
a uniquely African experience. The Park covers an area of 22 270 square km.
There are close on 140 species of mammal and 340 bird species in Etosha.
Caprivi: In stark contrast to most of Namibia, the Caprivi is "a piece
of different Africa" - a land of woodlands and flood plains, where rivers
never run dry. Home to over 70 species of fish, 400 bird species and countless
wild animals, in particular hippopotamus, crocodile, antelope such as
sitatunga, sable, and, of course, elephant, etc etc.
Damaraland: This is an arid, mountainous wilderness of rugged beauty,
with spectacular gorges and rock formations. Twyfelfontein has one of the most
extensive galleries of rock art in Africa, with over 2000 documented
engravings. The Damaras are of Bantu origin but speak a Khoisan language.
Together with the San, they were the first inhabitants of current Namibia.
Damaraland is home to the magnificent desert elephant as well as the black
rhino, which have adapted to the hostile conditions of this part of the
country - a geological wonderland.
Kaokoveld: The Kaokoveld (also known as Kaokoland) is one of the
untouched regions in Namibia, and one of the last remaining wilderness areas
in Southern Africa, with incredible mountain scenery. Home to the nomadic and
ethnic Himba people, they have kept their individuality, culture and natural
lifestyle, in this secluded area. The Himba are probably one of the most
striking looking people in Africa and still dress in their traditional dress.
Epupa Falls, on the Kunene River, is a "must" to see in Namibia.
Victoria Falls: The Victoria Falls, Mosi-oa-Tunya - "The Smoke that
Thunders" - is one of the most spectacular sights and waterfalls on this
planet, and has the largest curtain of falling water on earth, as well as
being one of the seven wonders of the world. The mighty Zambezi River takes a
deep plunge of 111m over an edge 1.7km wide. Discovered and named by the first
European, to have set foot in this part of Africa, David Livingstone, in 1855.
It is a must, in anyone's lifetime, to see this magnificent sight!
