Learn from the masters		   Knowledge, experience and a variety of skills are necessary to feel completely at home in the African bush and to survive its many potential dangers. This “Outdoor & Survival Training” holiday will enable you to enjoy the different African environments, safely, and to carry out any future excursions successfully. The training includes off-road driving, making fire, cooking in the bush, rock-climbing, shooting, finding water, navigation, tracking and much more... Our “Survival Hikes” will be challenging, but always under controlled conditions and will be tailored dependant on the progress of the training programmes. Every healthy person with average fitness can participate. Besides having fun, the training is an effective preparation for everybody who is planning their own expeditions into the bush. Namibia is the ideal training area for such a course, as it has an amazing variety of extreme environments, - from total desert, to mountains and swamp areas. The “African Outdoor & Survival Training“ is therefore also a perfect way to experience the many faces of the African wilderness closer than ever before – and to find adventure!

Climbing the Spitzkoppe		   There is nearly no greater adventure than hiking and climbing in the wild and remote mountains of Namibia. You will leave footsteps in a pristine and totally untouched wilderness, experience breath-taking views, observe the fascinating mountain-dwelling wildlife such as leopard or the indigenous mountain zebra and you will discover the secret places that are home to the rock art of stone-aged men. This safari is a fascinating combination of hiking and game tracking, mountaineering, sport-climbing and safari. Hiking will lead us for example into the wild Aub canyon, where Lion, Rhino and Elephant can be tracked. We are going to challenge three famous, over 2000 meter high mountains: The Spitzkoppe, a rock tower in the Namib; the stunning volcanic Erongo mountains and finally the highest peak in Namibia, the 2585 meter high Brandberg, the relict of a gigantic ancient volcano. Though you need some fitness, only basic mountaineering skills are required. Rock climbing courses during the safari are both a great adventure and a preparation to successfully complete the excursions. Beside adventure and outdoor-sport, you will not miss the other attractions Namibia has to offer, such as the fascinating fauna, flora and its interesting people.
