Whether on board of a Cessna plane or an hot air balloon at sunrise over the Namib red sand dunes, those of you who have already been there know how magical this place really is.

In any case, a visit to Sossusvlei and Deadvlei is-a-MUST and should be part of every trip to Namibia!

The silent sunrise, as the balloon takes off, is making way to a spectacular illumination of the giant red sand dunes: an impressive moment that unfolds an unexpected but undeniable: Life!
This is that kind of true moment when we realize of being in a place, a dimension or space, we want to be for ever.

Get off the ground with us and enjoy these stunning images of that fantastic movie from our Balloon Safaris partner based in the Sossusvlei area in Namibia: Namib Sky Adventure Safaris.

You should whether “Dream it… or Live it!” but you will love it!

The spectacular sightings start at sunrise up to sunset over the red iron oxide sand dunes and amplified by the occurring silence and our footsteps in that amazing colored sand. Hundreds, thousands of tracks expose to the visitor the obvious presence of an abundant life: the miracle of Nature in a world of advanced technology, overflowing and redundant information, cell phones, computers, media etc… In the Kalahari, you, as a visitor are merely: a man.

The 1000 kms stretch from Cape Town was to reach that wonderful region to get us in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which we have this great slideshow to display to you here. Enjoy watching what we have edited and keep in mind that the Scout team is available to you anytime you will need to plan your tour in Africa.

On our last tour, we have made pictures and video footage of the main attractions around Cape Town for you to get a great idea of what is expecting you when you will experience it yourself.

Unfortunately, our stay was too short to see and everything that has to be discovered. This time, our trip was aiming to the Kgalagadi National Park and the Augrabies Falls. A video will also come soon to show you the fantastic landscapes of the North of South Africa, the Northern Cape province and the surroundings of Botswana and Namibia borders.

We wish you a lot enjoyment in exploring Cape town, the Cape of Good Hope, the penguins of Betty’s Bay, the Table Mountain, the whales in Hermanus, the seals on Seal Island, the World of Birds and the Monkey Park in Hout Bay.

Who would not dream of a 3 weeks trip to Southern Africa?

We hope that you are all doing well wherever you are now, and we would like to offer you this slideshow of stunning pictures about our Cape Town to Vic Falls trip.
This “most booked tour” of ours starts in the “Mother City” of Cape Town in South Africa, and with the discovery of the majestic Table Mountain.

Then, it goes on to Namibia, land of contrasts, long distances and wide wild spaces. The tour is going ahead in Botswana where we experience the “not to be missed” and famous Okavango Delta, as well as the Chobe National Park more to the East. The grand finale will obviously amaze you when reaching the incredible and spectacular Victoria Falls where the tour ends.

Starting from Windhoek, our tour was heading south to the Sossusvlei dunes where some 4×4 off road driving into the Tsauchab sandy river bed has been a lot of fun. After a 5 km adventurous driving along the very old Camelthorn trees (Acacia Erioloba), the spectacular highest dunes in the world were merely ours.

The next stop over was the charming coastal City of Swakopmund, also known as the Adventure activities Capital City of Southern Africa. Further ahead, Etosha National Park has offered us some of the best African wildlife sighting and we had a short stop at the Waterberg Plateau before reaching Windhoek.

The film on tour

Mozambique has not yet reached a level of tourism activities such as Namibia and South Africa.

Nevertheless, It is on a very good way since it is a country of great beauty. In this matter of fact, and as it had so much to offer, it was very difficult for us to make a proper selection of the best pictures and videos depicting our fantastic journey.

“Immerse yourself” into spectacular landscapes by booking a Mozambican trip with us. The crystal waters of Praia Do Tofo, the white sand beaches of Inhambane or the stunning Bazaruto Archipelago are some of the highlights of such an exciting journey.

Helicopter flight over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe

Serengeti, the movie, is now available on DVD, Blu-Ray and 3D rentals as well as for sale since 29 July.
After “Earth” and “Oceans” Universum Film presents “Serengeti”, once again a unique cinema experience about Nature.

The Serengeti’s great unspoiled landscapes span some 30 000 km2 from the western side of the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania to the south-western of Kenya. The film shows the dramatic and changing spectacle of Nature of the past thousands of years. Serengeti depicts the savannah residents of that famous region of East Africa, showing their fates as well as the interaction between all species.

The heavenly opulence of the herds and the merciless of the chain of life is also occurring in this fantastic movies and throughout the season changes during which migrations are taking place.

The Serengeti contains a very unique ecosystem. It is not only a common endless savannah as well as a declared UNESCO World Heritage Site but it is also very known for the largest annual animal migrations. Hundreds of wildebeest, zebras and other antelopes make their circular move throughout the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Maasai Mara. Always using the same routes, they are forced to overcome the deadliest obstacles and enemies such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and crocodiles.

This is an unequaled place in the world where such a survival struggle provides such a grandiose and impressive spectacle like in the Serengeti. 50 years after Bernhard Grzimek’s Oscar®-winning film “Serengeti shall not die”, the German filmmaker and zoologist Reinhard Radke has re-visited this wild African region in order to observe what happened during this past half a century. Supported by stunning images, the German-British Nature documentary, portraying life and people of this unique landscapes, tends to show that the overpopulation, poaching and other human impacts are threatening this paradise. Hardy Krüger Jr takes us through this unusual experience as a speaker.

The bonus material on the DVD and Blu-Ray also includes the “Making Of” the documentary and interviews with the director Reinhard Radke and speaker Hardy Krüger Jr.

Serengeti is distributed by Universum Film.

* What are the Local Payments for?
The local payment is a USD cash portion of the tour payment that needs to be paid directly to your guide in Africa. This payment covers fluctuating expenses such as flights, National Park fees, specific activities, entrance fess etc. and also ensures that we have a reliable amount of hard currency on each tour. Our local payment is not a kitty, your food and your accomodation are included in the tour price. All local payments are subject to change without notice. Changes are very rare and are normally due to an unexpected price increase by a local service provider or National Park. With the current instability in fuel prices, there could also be a fuel surcharge.
