12 days in Namibia, stretching the central plateau – Waterberg area, the northern area, Hoab Meteorite, Grootfontein, Tsumeb, to Rundu on the Kavango River and then to the Caprivi Strip. This tour depends on how strong the rainfall was in Namibia and Angola, because certain areas on and around the Kavango-, Zambesi- and Kwando River are not accessible due to flooding and many camp sites and lodges are under water.
We will offer you a daily breakfast consisting of the following: fried eggs, boiled eggs or scrambled eggs, together with bread and lunchmeats or marmalades, yogurts and cereals.
Plus minus 2 to 3 hours before sunset we will set up our camp. You now have the opportunity to survey the surrounding, whilst Klabri's Safaris prepares your dinner. After a nice shower and a sun downer we will sit down and dine. Let yourself be surprised what we will offer you with different courses on your plate for dinner from the Namibian culinary game palate.
