We collect you from your Windhoek accommodation and then depart from Windhoek around 8.30am driving through to Gobabis where we will stop briefly to fresh supplies. From here we head South East, close to the Botswana border, driving past saltpans and into the heart of the Kalahari Desert. We arrive at the community campsite mid afternoon, set up our tents and relax before meeting and enjoying the San people singing in dancing around the campfire. There are normally many stories to tell through the singing. Evening meal prepared by guide with client assistance

Windhoek

This morning we walk with a local tracker and head into the bush and learn how the bushmen traditionally hunted and collected veldt food, naturally these days life is very different and you will have ample opportunity to ask questions to find out about the change in their lifestyle and how they survive in today’s modern world. We then visit a local village and can see at first hand their day to day life, often we can see them making ostrich shell jewellery or preparing food. After lunch we head back to Windhoek arriving later in the afternoon and where you will be dropped at your accommodation .
