Our trek begins in the shadow of Brandberg (2,573m), s tallest mountain, which dominates the surrounding arid landscape. Here, over 43,000 ancient rock paintings created by bushmen can be seen in caves and on rock faces. Together we trek into the Tsisab Gorge to see the famous White Lady painted around 2000 years ago, depicting what is believed to be a medicine man. At Spitzkop, the granite peak towering up out of the n desert, we hike into the rocky terrain to see further stunning examples of bushman paintings, giving us a spectacular glimpse back in time. One of the highlights of our trip is a trek in the Erongo Mountains on a hike that takes us to the huge granite boulders of Bulls Party and onto Elephants Head, followed by the luxury of a dip in the swimming pool back at our new camp! On our final day of trekking we head up into the hills overlooking Windhoek where we visit charity projects and local schools to gain a fascinating insight into the life of the n people. After exploring the city of Windhoek, we celebrate with a meal and party to toast our new friends and the end of our fabulous adventure together. at a glance Activity: Trekking Location: Duration: 9 Days / 5 days trekking Difficulty: Moderate Distance: 75 km Group size: trip highlights Explore the city of Windhoek Trek in Brandburg Nature Reserve See the White Lady rock painting Hike in the Erongo Mountains Visit Nambia s iconic Spitzkop Watch the sun set from our wild camp Experience a local charity project Action Challenge have been leading inspirational team adventures across the world for individuals, private groups, charities and corporate clients since Our trips enable people to experience the world s most exhilarating locations, often in aid of charity.
