Sasendle's Notice Board:

March/April 2009: Namibia looks stunning after the good rains of this summer - the red dunes of the Namib and Kalahari are tinted in the soft green of fresh growth and the wilderness is abuzz with this year’s youngsters of game species … a marvellous and truly unusual treat for your discerning customers who still would like to ‘escape’ over the Easter holidays!
We tailor-make individual 4x4 safari programmes on short notice –
contact us.

May 2009: There are still seats available on our scheduled 4x4 tours ‘Cape-Namibia Explorer’ & ‘Namibia-Kalahari-Cape Discovery’ – May is an ideal time of the year to enjoy the splendours of both countries at one’s own pace and under pleasantly moderate climate conditions.   
We also welcome
enquiries for private departures and from foreign trade visitors interested in a first-hand experience of our soft adventure safaris!

Our motto: One Life - Live It

Travel Tip #10
South Africa’s Western Cape Province is home to a famous floral kingdom but its great value for visitors with special interests in medicinal plants is often overlooked.
We introduce you to Rooibos and Buchu, both well-known in traditional African medicine for centuries and re-discovered for modern homeopathy only in recent decades.
