AFRICA'S GREAT AND WILD PLACES

If you have a fairly clear idea of the kind of African safari you are looking for then you are lucky. This is because, for those who haven't made up their minds, the choice is endless. From walking safaris, canoe safaris or horseback safaris, who knows what to choose. They all sound so exciting and you will want to do them all!

The thrill of observing animals and birds in their natural environment is one of the most important reasons for visiting game parks and reserves, and game-viewing in Namibia is generally most rewarding during the dry winter months when the animals are forced to congregate in the vicinity of permanent springs and waterholes. During these months the grass is usually short and this greatly improves game viewing on an African safari.

Caprivi Game Park:

Stretching for about 180km from West to East, the Caprivi Game Park is bounded by the Kavango River in the West and the Kwando River in the East. As there is no permanent surface water in the central area, most species tend to congregate along the Kavango River and lovely riverside lodges allow one to experience an African safari in this type of luxury. Driving a 4x4 in this sandy terrain is a pre-requisite and at the end of a hot day drinks are served around the swimming pool.

The Namib-Naukluft Park

The northern part of this park offers the peace and tranquility that we are always in search of with an African safari and at Bloedkoppie one can watch a red and yellow sunset from the ridge while you listen to the jackals calling while the barn owls ready themselves for the hunt.
Namib Naukluft Lodge offers 16 tastefully furnished rooms with en-suite facilities as well as traditional meals on offer in the restaurant while some nights you can sit around the fireside at the pool and relax after a day in the desert.

vail yourself of these wonderful experiences by contacting Khan River and discover that an African safari can be enjoyed either by staying in luxury lodge accommodation or by getting closer to nature by roughing it and staying in comfortable camping sites.
