Namibia & Botswana -Tierisch gut
"After leaving the last outpost of civilization, we drive into one of the wildest and most remote regions of Africa. Our challenge is the Kaokoveld in the far northwest of Namibia. A unique landscape that, with its vastness, provides magical moments over and over again. Ahead of us are 450 km with partially hardly recognizable route guidance, three days of driving, two oncoming off-road vehicles, and a flat tire." - Following the wilderness of Africa is the motto of adventurer and photographer Michael Fleck. Known as Germany's outdoor family, the four Flecks have traveled once again to one of the most spectacular landscapes on the continent. On a two-month off-road vehicle tour, they explored Namibia, Botswana, and roamed around the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
In his latest multimedia presentation, Michael Fleck reports live and with breathtaking images and film sequences about his safaris and the close encounters with elephants, lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, and the adorable meerkats. He takes you to guest farms with their very personal atmosphere, to luxury lodges, and into the villages of the oldest African tribes. Exemplarily, using the San and Himba as examples, he reports without the often still prevailing romanticized view, about the real living situation of these ethnic minorities.
Namibia, the former German South-West Africa, and Botswana offer landscapes of superlatives. The world-famous national parks Etosha and Chobe, the Namib Desert with the sand dunes of Sossusvlei, the Okavango Delta, the Kalahari, and the Fish River Canyon are some of the highlights. A multi-day hike leads down the steep rock faces to the bottom of the Fish River, the second largest canyon in the world. The contrast to this rugged rock landscape is the paradisiacal Okavango Delta. In dugouts, the classic mokoros, they are accompanied by two guides as they navigate through one of the most untouched landscapes in Africa for days. "When a group of hippos observes us from just 10 boat lengths away, and we later set up our tent nearby, hearing only the grunting of the hippos, other sounds of the wilderness, and the crackling of the campfire, we know why we follow the call of the wild," reports Michael Fleck. This is Africa in its most original form. After the presentation, you too will be seized by longing and the Africa fever.
