  • Motorcycle Tour South Africa and Namibia, from Cape Town to Windhoek Motorcycle Tour South Africa and Namibia, from Cape Town to Windhoek
    Motorcycle tour South Africa and Namibia, from Cape Town to Windhoek Motorcycle tour South Africa and Namibia, from Cape Town to Windhoek Duração Dificuldade Veículo de apoio 14 días Normal-Hard Sim Language Guia en,de Sim Namibia, a vast 830 thousand square kilometre expense of desert flanked by the icy Atlantic Ocean, is home to slightly less than 1.7 million citizens. That’s less than half the number of Cape Town residents. Unending roads stretch out as far as the eye can see under a sky that’s so big it can only be described as heavenly with space enough to truly breathe. The two-week trip starts in Cape Town and winds its way up our west coast to culminate in Namibia’s capital, Windhoek. With both on and off-road riding, the 2,100 miles city to city tour is an epic tribute to solitude and uninterrupted riding with out-of-this world scenery. Your on-road riding experience will be punctuated by some gravel road riding exploring such places as the mountainous Cedarberg region, the Northern Cape, one of the world’s oldest deserts as well as the Fish River Canon, the world’s second largest canyon. Approximately 50% of this tour is on dirt roads, some basic off-road riding skills are required. Itinerário 1 - - Cidade do Cabo - 0 Welcome. Almost all international flights arrive in Cape Town before midday. Our tour guide will meet you at the airport and taxi you directly to your hotel where you can freshen-up and perhaps have a light bite to eat.

  • 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.

The research explores ways and means to recouple communities and national parks to promote biodiversity. The relationships are characterized between Namibia’s community-based resource management program (CBNRM), conservancies, and protected areas system, with particular reference to the Ehi-rovipuka Conservancy and Etosha National Park in northern Namibia.

  • 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.

  • The Visual Archive of Colonialism: Germany and Namibia
    Photo-essay The Visual Archive of Colonialism: Germany and Namibia George Steinmetz and Julia Hell Colonial memories and images occupy a paradoxi- cal place in Germany. This is due in part to the peculiarities of German colo- nial history, but it also reflects another aspect of German exceptionalism — the legacy of Nazism and the Holocaust. In recent years German colonialism in Southwest Africa (Namibia) has been widely discussed, especially with respect to the attempted extermination of the Ovaherero people in 1904. For reasons explored in this article, these discussions of Germany’s involvement in Southwest Africa have created new and unexpected discursive connections that are reshap- ing colonial memories in both Germany and Namibia. One possible outcome could be a belated decolonization of the landscape of colonial memory in both countries. Postwar Germany was long preoccupied with its National Socialist prehistory; the German colonial past has only started to come into focus more recently.1 The years 2004 – 5 saw numerous commemorative events around the centenary of the 1904 German genocide of the Namibian Ovaherero people and the completion of the controversial Berlin Holocaust Memorial. On one level this is mere coinci- dence. At the same time, there is an increasing entanglement of these two central political topics.
