10-Day Desert Adapted Wildlife Expedition Tour
Overview
This arid Eden area of Namibia, Damaraland, is one of Africa's true remaining wildernesses. Wildlife exists in open ecosystem, where they co-exist with humans and share scarce resources that includes water. Not being in a designated National Park or protected area, wildlife sightings are far and apart. Encountering wildlife is an effort and skill that involves traditional tracking and asking the locals the whereabouts. Besides wildlife, we will explore the ancient hidden gems of Damaraland.

Day 1
Brandberg
After breakfast you will meet your guide and head to Brandberg. We will have a lunch stop along the way or upon arrival at Brandberg White-lady Lodge. This afternoon we will do a sundowner drive around the Brandberg area and explore the Ugab River. Various mammals and birds are found along the riverbed where they get food and water. Brandberg mountain is the highest mountain in Namibia, measuring 2,573 m (8,442 ft.) at its peak. “Brandberg” is Afrikaans, Dutch and German for Burning Mountain, which comes from its glowing color which is sometimes seen in the setting or rising sun. The local Damara people named the mountain “Dâures”, which also means 'burning mountain'. The area has quite fascinating plants as well, of the 357 species recorded in this area, 11 are endemic to Brandberg.

Day 2
Twyfelfontein Area
We will visit the White Lady Rock painting after breakfast. This is a half an hour hike through the Brandberg Mountain. There are about 1000 rock shelters around the Brandberg, and this was home to the San people. Over 45 000 rock paintings have been found and of particular interest is the White Lady Rock painting. While some archeologists in the past concluded that the lady had elements of ancient Mediterranean origin, more recent scholars argue that the painting is from indigenous people with no European links. The white lady is actually a boy covered with white clay while undergoing an initiation ceremony. Others think it is a Shaman. Local guides will take us to the painting. We will then proceed to Twyfelfontein area where we will visit the San (Bushmen) Rock engravings.

Day 4
Palmwag Concession
After breakfast, we will visit the Petrified Forest before continuing our expedition to Palmwag Concession. The Petrified Forest is a geological formation that happened 280 million years ago. Huge trees were carried by a river and buried here. Sand was deposited around them, creating ideal conditions for the cells of the wood to be replaced by silica and thus became petrified. It is thought these trees are Dadoxylon arberi, the same tree responsible for coal fields in Europe. This is a half an hour walk done by knowledgeable local guides. We will continue exploring the ephemeral rivers. Mid-range lodge located inside Palmwag Concession (Damaraland) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 5
Palmwag Concession
After breakfast, we will embark on a full day game drive in search of scare desert adapted Black Rhinos. Damaraland still remains a stronghold of these rather critically endangered species free roaming, although the sightings are far and apart. Our game drive will start very early in the morning, with help of dedicated rangers that look after the rhinos, we will embark on a guided walking safari to approach the sighting with an armed guide. During the drive one might encounter livestock, people going about their normal daily chores and elephants or giraffes also going about their daily routines. Expect the unexpected.

There are thriving populations of desert Adapted Elephants, Oryx, Steenbok, Springbok, Black-backed Jackals, Small spotted Genets, Southern Giraffe subs angolensis among others.

We had an amazing 'Etosha dash' trip with PEA Tours and Safaris. Solid, clean, comfortable en up for the job vehicle and driver. Communications beforehand and during the trip were effective, pleasant and clear. Prev's knowledge of the country, wildlife, culture, venues, etc was impressive en we had many many questions answered. I would definitely recommend PEA Tours and Safaris for an amazing customized trip to the beautiful country of Namibia.

Prev was organized, kept a good schedule and had a great sense of humor.
Prev booked exceptional tours and locations, and lodgings. He took care of all of our needs. He communicated with us through What’s app. This was a great value for the cost.
Judy & Dan · United States
Wonderful experience, highly recommended
The suggested itinerary matched perfectly with our preferences. All accommodations were carefully chosen and according to our budget. Everything was very well planned and well communicated in advance (driving times, facilities, activities) and there was still room to profit from last minute opportunities. Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable about animals, birds and the country. He was always in a good mood and eager to satisfy our requests and questions. PEA Tours has always been quick to respond when planning the tour. Our Namibian Grand Tour was a wonderful experience and highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Namibia.
