    Go Wild – Boxed2go Track Namibia’S Awesome Wildlife

    Go Wild – Boxed2Go Track Namibia’s awesome wildlife. 12 Day Namibian Self-Drive Safari. Experience the wild side of Namibia on this twelve-day trip through the northern regions of the country. Join the Gondwana Collection and Namibia2Go for a special Namibian journey. This carefully planned safari includes stopovers at all the popular wildlife sites. Beginning in Windhoek, the route leads northwards to the famous Etosha National Park, where two nights are enjoyed at the unique and quirky Etosha Safari Camp. The third day is spent travelling into the heart of Etosha for superb wildlife viewing, exiting in the late afternoon at the northern gate. Overnight at the stylish Etosha King Nehale on the Andoni Plains before travelling further north to the peaceful oasis of Hakusembe Lodge on the glittering Okavango River. Arrive in time to raise your glass and watch the sun sink into the horizon from the deck of the lodge. As you journey eastwards into the Zambezi Region and toward the Kwando River, a wilder Africa calls. A sanctuary for wildlife, Bwabwata National Park and surrounds provide countless photographic opportunities. Tune in to the sounds of the river and fall asleep to the chortling of hippos at Namushasha River Lodge. A highlight of a stay is a trip into Bwabwata, by boat and game-viewing vehicle. The safari continues further east on the floodplains of the Chobe River, adjacent to Chobe National Park, where it’s possible to spot elephant, buffalo and water-adapted antelope like sitatunga at different times of the year. After savouring the delights of Chobe, you enter into the enchanted world of the mighty Zambezi River, where the life-affirming calls of fish eagles resound through the day.

    Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis Ssp

    Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis ssp. angolensis) Appendix 1: Historical and recent geographic range and population of Angolan Giraffe G. c. angolensis Geographic Range ANGOLA Historical range in Angola Giraffe formerly occurred in the mopane and acacia savannas of southern Angola (East 1999). According to Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo (2005), the historic distribution of the species presented a discontinuous range with two, reputedly separated, populations. The western-most population extended from the upper course of the Curoca River through Otchinjau to the banks of the Kunene (synonymous Cunene) River, and through Cuamato and the Mupa area further north (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). The intention of protecting this western population of G. c. angolensis, led to the proclamation of Mupa National Park (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). The eastern population occurred between the Cuito and Cuando Rivers, with larger numbers of records from the southeast corner of the former Mucusso Game Reserve (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). By the late 1990s Giraffe were assumed to be extinct in Angola (East 1999). According to Kuedikuenda and Xavier (2009), a small population of Angolan Giraffe may still occur in Mupa National Park; however, no census data exist to substantiate this claim. As the Park was ravaged by poachers and refugees, it was generally accepted that Giraffe were locally extinct until recent re-introductions into southern Angola from Namibia (Kissama Foundation 2015, East 1999, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). BOTSWANA Current range in Botswana Recent genetic analyses have revealed that the population of Giraffe in the Central Kalahari and Khutse Game Reserves in central Botswana is from the subspecies G.
  • Caprivi and Khaudum Safari

    Caprivi and Khaudum Safari

    CAPRIVI & KHAUDUM SAFARI Visit remote and beautiful areas often devoid of other visitors on this safari through Namibia’s northeast and Caprivi Strip. Sleep under soft duvets on stretcher beds in comfortable mobile camps erected for you and enjoy relaxed evenings at smart lodges. Your knowledgeable guide will escort you through the rugged wilderness of Khaudum National Park, a densely wooded wilderness region of the northern Kalahari that’s unreachable in a 2WD vehicle. Experience rural village life and travel through lush green landscapes not see in the western desert regions of Namibia. Seek out wildlife on the fertile flood plains, swamps and in the riverine forests of the small but fascinating Mahango Game Reserve and in the larger, wilder Mudumu National Park. Finally, enjoy the tranquil experience of cruising along the Chobe River in a House Boat whilst watching animals drink at the waters edge. Day 1 - Windhoek After checking through customs at Windhoek Airport, you are met and transferred to a quiet guesthouse set in pretty gardens and situated in one of the city’s leafy suburbs. Spend the afternoon relaxing and getting over your long flight or take the time to explore Windhoek. Ask your hosts to recommend their favourite restaurant from one of the city’s many good eateries or perhaps arrange to dine in. No meals are included. Day 2 – Okonjima Your guide will meet you at your guesthouse after breakfast for the drive north through a region of gentle rolling hills where many of Namibia’s larger farms and ranches can be found. One such farm has been transformed into a wildlife reserve and is home to the AfriCat Foundation, an organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of Namibia’s predators – in particular leopard and cheetah.

    Namibia Crane News 11

    Namibia Crane News 11 July 2005 National B lue crane census proposed The Namibia Crane Working Group is investigating a national Blue Crane census, to obtain an update on numbers. This proposal corresponds with the recom- mended actions from the Red Data Book account for Blue Cranes (see Namibia Crane News No. 6). The last count in December 1994 provided a total estimate of 49 adults and 11 yearlings. It will be interesting to see whether the population is still declining after the recent good rains. Ideally the census would include an aerial survey of Etosha and the grassland areas to the north, together with ground surveys. We are still deciding on the best time of year for the census, bearing in mind that we would like to pick up as many juveniles as Enthusiastic Kasika and Impalila guides out birding possible.

  • Khaudum National Park

    Khaudum National Park

    Khaudum National Park The Khaudum National Park is a true African wilderness and perhaps a bit of self-discovery. The park, situated in north-eastern Namibia bordering Botswana, has less than 3 000 visitors annually and there are few tracks through the deep Kalahari sand. More elephants than people frequent the park. It is a refuge for African wild dog and roan antelope. Lion, cheetah and leopard are also found here. The park is unfenced except along the Botswana border, so game is able to move into neighbouring conservancies. Park staff co- operate with the conservancies in the joint management of the wildlife that moves between the park and neighbouring land. The Khaudum National Park is home to large herds of elephants, the African wild dog, Africa’s most endangered large predator, rare sable antelope, and over 320 species of birds. FACT FILE Park size: 3 842 km² Date proclaimed: 1989 Natural features: Kalahari sandveld with omurambas (fossil drainage lines) which act as ideal routes for wildlife. Vegetation: Tree and Shrub Savannah Biome. Dominant trees include leadwood (Combretum imberbe), evergreen false mopane (Guibourtia coleosperma), various acacia species including camel-thorn trees (Acacia erioloba), Zambezi teak (Baikiaea plurijuga), tamboti (Spirostachys africana) and baobab (Adansonia digitata). Wildlife: Elephant, roan antelope, giraffe, eland, tsessebe, reedbuck, lion, African wild dog, leopard, spotted hyaena, ostrich, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, kudu, gemsbok, warthog, side-striped jackal and various other smaller species. A total of 320 bird species have been recorded, including ground hornbill, African hobby falcon, racket-tailed roller and Bradfield’s hornbill. Summer visitors are Abdim’s stork, yellow-billed kite, steppe and lesser spotted eagles, and African golden oriole.

In 1884 Germany proclaimed a Protectorate over the Coast south of the Cape Colony's enclave at Walvis Bay and some years later, before 1890, expanded its territorial claims in South West Africa, without systematically establishing an effective administration on the ground. The United Kingdom decided to accept Germany's territorial claims in South West Africa, even though it regarded this territory as lying within Britain's natural sphere of influence. 2. The only area in dispute was Ngamiland, north of British Bechuana- land, a territory assigned to neither power and extending from the 20th to the 24th degree of longitude. Discussions began in 1886 but it was only in 1890 after the resignation of the German Chancellor Otto von Bis- marck that the new Chancellor, General Georg Leo Von Caprivi and his Foreign Minister, Baron Marschall, accelerated diplomatic discussions with Britain over Africa.
