DISTANT VOICES, ANCESTRAL ROOTS (5 Days/4 Nights)
Makgadigadi Pans, Kalahari Desert
Absolute Africa is proud to offer this unique program that focuses on the traditional cultural knowledge of the people of Botswana, and the natural environment in which these people have lived for thousands of years. Fly from Maun to the Makgadikgadi National Park in the Kalahari Desert. The nearby salt pans are the remains of a vast salt lake. Today, the grasslands provide excellent game viewing in the wet season, and the rare opportunity to witness Southern Africa's last migration of zebras. Spend four full days in East Africa-style safari tents. Your days will be spent in the company of guides who will introduce you to their wealth of traditional knowledge. Learn about the geology of the region, predator-prey relationships, and the hunting and water-sourcing techniques of the local people. Try your hand at fashioning stone tools, and navigating without a compass. The crystal clear nights are perfect for stargazing - your guides will also teach you the major constellations that can be seen in the thick carpet of stars that blanket the sky each night. This is an ideal program for travelers interested in our shared common history.
