Tour Highlights
- Part 1: Kgalagadi National Park
Covering over 9
million acres, the park combines nature conservation areas in South
Africa and Botswana. Arid savannah and sand desert form the core of
its landscape. The red Kalahari with its haunting desert scenery is
also rich in its diversity of game, bird, and insect species. Above
all, the park is famous for its black-maned lions, cheetahs, and
other predator species in abundance. Sparse vegetation, dry
riverbeds and pristine dune country show off its fauna and flora at
its premium and provide excellent photographic opportunities.

Sasendle's 4x4 Club
Activities
Sasendle Adventure Tours

for the past 10 years. On various occasions, Sasendle has been
involved in developing new 4x4 trails with emphasis on ecological
and environmental subjects. Off-road tours into these wild areas are
usually camping trips where limited or no facilities are available
but where a fascinating learning experience of natural habitats,
fauna and flora awaits the visitor. Most of the 4-5 code rated trails are in
the Northern &Western Cape of South Africa.
Sasendle organises catered weekend/full day outings on such trails
on request - on short
notice & incl. 4x4 Driving Training. |

Company Introduction ...
continued
True to the core of
their company philosophy, the Sasendle team strives to afford their
customers close encounters with Southern Africa's most spectacular
destinations - often lesser known and only accessible, if travelling
off the beaten track, in remote areas.
These safaris appeal to
adventurous spirits wishing to explore Africa's natural treasures in
comfort.
Sasendle follows the
call of the wilderness and its creatures, of the wide open spaces,
of places where silence becomes tangible, where the human soul and
senses can rejuvenate, and provides insights into the
sub-continent's colourful history and the diverse ethnic cultures of
its inhabitants.
Sasendle's goal?
Conveying Southern
Africa's unique spirit and atmosphere next to its ultimate
attractions during skin-deep, unforgettable safari experiences that
will entice guests to return time and again. |
