Acacia News August 2008 100 years of diamonds in Namibia Acacia Namibia can recommend excursions to deserted mining towns and along the coastline to the ‘Rock-Arch’ in the forbidden 'Sperrgebiet' Special offer from Acacia Namibia As ideal holiday package we recommend a combination of: “8 days guest farm & 8 days self-drive tour “ After arrival in Namibia, guests will be transferred from the airport to the guest farm Okomitundu. The farm is located 170 km from Windhoek and the ideal starting point to get accustomed to African conditions during a weeks time of relaxation. Activity offers include horse riding, walking trails, farm drives and bird watching. Children will find a kids playground, petting zoo and antelopes nearby, which makes the farm for families very recommendable. The rental car will be delivered to the guest farm, from where the pre-booked self-drive will start. Guests have the choice between economical or up-market accommodations and a northern or southern travel route for their tour. Classic highlights like the Etosha National Park, Damaraland, Swakopmund, Sossusvlei, the Kalahari and Windhoek are offered. New route Windhoek – Cape Town New in the range of guided tours is a cross-border safari offered by Landrover. These safaris offer the scenic variety of two countries and new routes “off the beaten track’”. Amazing landscapes combined with a little adventure and interesting attractions. Guesthouses and lodges offer comfortable accommodation. Extension offers to the northern parts of Namibia or around the Cape are available on request. The 9 day tour offers a meeting with a bushman tribe in the Kalahari, extensive explorations of the Kgalagadi Transfrontierpark Park, a small glimpse of the Namaqualand and the Northern Cape. The 13 day tour offers highlights of the SA West Coast, the remote Richtersveld, Fish river Canyon, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and the Erongo Mountains. Mata Mata border post: Now open! After many years and lots of controversy, the Mata Mata gate has finally been opened again, providing easier excess between Namibia and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa. In terms of SANParks regulations, Tourists are required to stay over for two nights in one or more of the official overnight facilities of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. This regulation will be strictly enforced and no commercial traffic is allowed through the park. Tour operators and guests would be required to do their planning thoroughly and well in advance as the camps in the Park operate at high occupancies, which could result in guests being unable to use the Mata Mata Tourist Access Facility, should they not have a confirmed booking for one of the official overnight facilities in the Park. Tourists from Namibia may make use of the new entrance to Kgalagadi, as a day or overnight visitor access point without checking in with the border officials at Twee Rivieren as long as they return to Namibia. If, however, a tourist leaves the Park to go in to South Africa or Botswana they will have to go to the passport control at Twee Rivieren, the only full passport control post on the South African side of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
