Chameleon Holidays & Travel for Safaris & Vacations in Africa | Southern Africa | Namibia | Special Interest (Namibia)

Special Interest (Namibia)

Many people are looking to experience "something different: during their African holidays. 

We can offer hiking, mule trails, horse riding or something a bit different such as a 4x4 sand dune trail from Luderitz to Swakopmund.  Not forgetting photography, specialist birding, hot air ballooning and camel trekking .... in fact, we at Chameleon pride ourselves in being able to put an itinerary together around any specialist hobby or as part of a safari. 

Hot Air Ballooning
Mostly enjoyed as an early morning flight over the NamibRand/Namib Naukluft region.  Totally dependent on winds, this magical flight can take you over mountains, plains and sand dunes - all in an hours flight.  As you gradually lift off and soar above the ground you will not suffer vertigo but appreciate the beauty and diversity of the region from the air.  After your flight, a support crew will be on hand (at your landing destination) to serve you with a scrumptious champagne breakfast.

Camel Trekking 
This activity can be enjoyed as a 2 hour excursion or overnight trips, either from Swakopmund or in or just an hour or so drive from Windhoek. Here you can enjoy sleeping out under the stars and the amazing desert - all from the back of a camel  The ablution block is separate with hot and cold running water/showers but please note that this is a basic camp and certainly not suited to clients wishing a more luxurious experience.  Your guide will help you explore the region and point out all the smaller details to the desert and nature, you will certainly feel "at one", so if you are after a little adventure whilst craving a little comfort this is an ideal way to learn about the desert.   Please contact us for more information.

Photography Trips
Namibia offers such vast, unspoilt and varied landscapes, superb game viewing and a variation of cultures, it makes it a photographers dream!  Many people are happy to join a scheduled safari but for those clients that wish to spend hours waiting for "the right moment" then we recommend either a private safari or a self drive trip.  We are more than happy to help - please contact us directly with your enquiry.

Birding Safaris
The Caprivi Region is an excellent location for birds, and those specialist birders Namibia has a number of endemic birds including Herero Chat, rockrunner, Monteiro's hornbill, Damara tern (and plenty of others).  Naturally, the time of year plays an important part.  Neighbouring Countries also offer spectacular birding and combining Namibia with Botswana is an ideal way to "tick them off".  Specialist trips can be organised - please contact us for more details.
