The safari takes place through the etosha national park , "an ecosystem totally different from that of ** Tanzania or Kenya **", they explain from the company. "We visited the main ponds in the area of Okaukuejo to spot wild life , because there they come to water lions, rhinos, leopards, elephants, zebras, and giraffes. It is the only opportunity to observe the african wildlife in an ecosystem semi desert ".

The adventure will also allow you to travel the Okavango Delta in mokoro, the traditional boat of this area of Botswana, described by Ratpanat as "one of the experiences more sensory and evocative that can be lived".

But What a difference this route from the others? According to Almudena Parrondo, company spokesperson, the response can be summed up as "the variety of landscapes that are covered -including desert, dunes and swampy areas-, the fauna that can be seen and the tribes who are visited; the culture shock is awesome".

The tribes that Parrondo speaks of are the Himba and the San. "The Himba are easily recognizable by their hairstyles and the color reddish of their women's skin, which they dye as a beauty ritual and to protect yourself from the sun l", says the expert. For her part, "the San are one of the greatest exponents of the Bushman culture. During the route, you visit the Nyae Nyae Reserve , a space self-managed by the tribe, where we will live with them and share their customs and rites ancestral".

Another feature that differentiates this adventure from the others is the zone in which it runs, places in Africa "still underdeveloped ", like Namibia ("which is not South Africa or Kenya"), clarifies Parrondo.

"We travel in a prepared truck to approach this type of expeditions, in which there are many long journeys and the roads unpaved, which allows us to carry the necessary equipment to bridge these distances and overcome the travel conditions more extreme ", assures the professional.
