Acclimatisation
Starting in Botswana, teams can explore the Kalahari and learn valuable survival techniques from the desert bushmen. In Namibia, explore 3 of Namibia’s peaks in the Brandberg region and take in the ancient bushman culture by witnessing some of the world’s oldest cave art.
Main trek
Trekking in Namibia and Botswana will test those bush survival skills you learnt in the acclimatisation phase! From Botswana’s Lobatse heartland, Tswapong Hills and Limpopo River, to Namibia’s Waterberg Plateau and Ugab River Valley, which is home to Damaraland’s last remaining desert adapted elephants - the opportunities to get off the beaten track are abundant.
Project
The project can easily be the focus of the expedition. Past teams have made a huge difference to small schools, providing them with playgrounds, sport pitches or vegetable gardens, or reparing and painting run down buildings as well as helping with teaching and getting involved in after school sports or clubs. Last year a team helped a community in the Kalahari Desert obtain their first water tap, saving them miles of walking each day.
Rest and relaxation
In Namibia the coastal town of Swakopmund is an ideal destination for Rest and Relaxation. Teams can choose to sand board down the dunes of the Namib desert, or take a dolphin cruise in the Atlantic. In both Namibia and Botswana, there are opportunities for safaris in Etosha and Chobe National Parks, or from Botswana teams can cross the border in to Zambia to see the spectacular Victoria Falls.
