Angolan Southern Explorer Trip Rating: Pioneer Our Angolan Southern Explorer builds on the success of previous tours in the south of the country. There is plenty of opportunity to meet remote tribal people, totally untouched by the outside world and whose way of life has remain unchanged for centuries. Previous clients have already described the trip as being amongst their greatest travel experiences anywhere. This is very much a trip for the pioneering traveller. Much of the journey will be off road and the distances will be long. Probably the most challenging and rewarding trip offered to-date by Undiscovered Destinations. Itinerary Day 1 - UK to Lubango via Windhoek, Namibia, arriving the next day Day 2 - Lubango Airport to hotel transfer City tour, including visit to the spectacular Tunda-Vale, volcanic fissure (1,300m). Overnight Somitour Hotel or similar, Lubango Day 3 - Lubango to Namibe – 3hrs Scenic drive, through the mountains and the breathtaking Lebba Pass to the Atlantic coast. Overnight Diversi Hotel or similar, Namibe Day 4 - Namibe to Pediva hot springs – 6hrs A drive through the desert, that allows for excellent wildlife viewing, bringing us to Pediva. Take time to lie back and relax, whilst you gaze at the snake eagles soaring above. Overnight Camping, Pediva Hot Springs Day 5 - Pediva to Rock Lodge – 3hrs We continue our travels through the Namib Desert, enroute looking out for the varied wildlife including springbok and ostrich. Overnight Rock Lodge or camping, Namib Desert Day 6 - Rock Lodge to Flamingo Lodge – 5hrs Today we travel back to the Atlantic Coast and to Flamingo Lodge, located 40km south of the town of Namibe and accessible only by driving along the empty golden beaches. Flamingo is in the middle of 70km of uninhabited coast, and its hinterland is of highly diverse desert landscapes containing areas of special beauty. A number of optional activities are available, including quadbike tours to nearby sandstone canyons, superb fishing and parasailing. Overnight Flamingo Lodge Day 7 - Flamingo Lodge A full day at Flamingo to relax, swim or take one of the optional activities on offer. Overnight Flamingo Lodge Day 8 - Flamingo Lodge to Baia dos Tigres – 4hrs Today we continue with our adventure, driving south to an extremely remote and little visited corner of Angola, bordering Namibia. As we continue our drive we reach the salt marshes and lagoons of Baía dos Tigres, home to an abundance of bird and marine life. To reach the area we traverse a vast dune scape, a challenging, but equally stunning drive. Overnight Camping Day 9 - Baia dos Tigres to Foz do Cunene – 4hrs Still hugging the coastline, we carefully navigate a narrow strip of beach with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and towering dunes on the other, until we reach Cunene. The Cunene is a large perennial river that forms the boundary between south western Angola and Namibia. The lush vegetation makes for a striking contrast with the surrounding desert. The settlement of Foz do Cunene is situated on the banks of the river 6km from the sea and is within the vast Iona National Park. Overnight Lodge or camping, Foz do Cunene Day 10 - Cunene to Moimba – 6hrs Today we start our challenging, but rewarding journey northeast, back to Lubango. First we head for the settlement of Moimba. It will take us most of the day to traverse the spectacular Iona National Park. The drive will be slow. Our experienced guides follow nothing more than the faintest of tracks in the shifting sands. Our determination to visit such a remote corner of the country will be rewarded by having the opportunity to meet with the local people, who are virtually cut off from the outside world. For once this is no cliché, we will almost certainly be amongst only a handful of foreigners that they have encountered. Overnight camping, Moimba Day 11 - Moimba to Oncócua – 6hrs These few days of travel in the extreme south must be described as hard and the long off road journeys will not be for everyone. However, the experience of meeting tribes, such as the Himba people, is simply exhilarating. It really is the 'real' travellers dream. Overnight camping, Oncócua Day 12 - Oncócua to Tapella – 4hrs Although the distances are relatively short, the journey continues to be slow, as we complete our final off road leg of the trip. Overnight camping, Oncócua Day 13 - Tapella to Chibia – 6hrs Today we will reach the main road that links Namibia with the provisional capital Lubango. As is common throughout Angola, the road is in a very poor condition and is in serious need of repair. Again, this trip is not for those who are unable to cope with long and bumpy road journeys. You will however enjoy the changing scenery and the possibilities of coming across local people who simply have no concept of tourism. Overnight lodge or camping, Chibia Day 14 - Chibia to Quedas da Hungueria – 3hrs As we enter our final leg of this unique tour we will make our last overnight camping stop at the waterfall of Hungueria. The setting is superb, made even more special by the fact that so few travellers have ever visited the area. Overnight camping, Quedas da Hungueria Day 15 - Quedas da Hungueria to Lubango – 4hrs As we return to Lubango, you will end the tour with some wonderful memories. For even the most well-travelled, your trip will have been full of unique experiences, sights and the most genuine of encounters with a remarkable people and culture. Overnight Somitour Hotel or similar, Lubango Day 16 - Lubango to UK, via Windhoek, Namibia Transfer to the airport for your flight to Windhoek, connecting the same day to London Day 17 - Arrive UK Top of page>> |
