Namibia on 4x4

Namibia on 4×4

Namibia on 4×4 cars : a complete, unique and unforgettable trip in a country that lends itself particularly to adventure by motorbike, by car, by bicycle, on foot (!!!) a little tamed by the comfort of the lodges, by the ease of movement and the completeness of the services, but, not for this a minor adventure. Jokes aside, the landscapes and the beauties of this country never cease to enchant even the most experienced traveler, the tracks leave room for the imagination, the dust is always present to make your holiday wilder. The animals of the Etosha Park, the seals of Cape Cross leave you enchanted and the majestic dunes of Sossusvlei will remain forever imprinted in our minds. The Namibia on 4×4 is a trip suitable for everyone even for those who have no experience of off-road driving, the tracks of the route are not particularly difficult and very wide, the stages are around 300 km, some completely on dirt roads, the longer ones on asphalt are necessary transfers and without traffic, the lodges and hotels are all of an excellent standard. The dry lands of Namibia were lived in since early times by Bushmen, Damara and Nama. About the 14th century AD, Bantu came to the area from central Africa. From the late 18th century onwards, Orlam clans from the Cape Colony crossed the Orange River. They moved into the area that today is southern Namibia. The nomadic Nama tribes were largely peaceful. The missionaries with the Orlams were well received by them, the right to use waterholes and grazing was given. On their way further north, the Orlams met clans of the Herero tribe. They were not as friendly. The Nama-Herero War started in 1880. They did not stop until Imperial Germany sent troops. The first Europeans to explore the region were the Portuguese navigators Diogo Cão in 1485 and Bartolomeu Dias in 1486. Like most of Sub-Saharan Africa, Namibia was not largely explored by Europeans until the 19th century. At this time traders and settlers arrived, mostly from Germany and Sweden. Namibia became a German colony in 1884. This was to stop the British. The country was called German South-West Africa.[9] From 1904 to 1907, the Herero and the Namaqua took up arms against the Germans. In the following Herero and Namaqua genocide, 10,000 Nama (half the population) and about 65,000 Hereros (about 80% of the population) were killed. South Africa began to rule the land in 1915. They defeated the German force during World War I. It was a League of Nations mandate territory from 1919. In 1946 the League was replaced by the United Nations. South Africa would not give up their rule of the land. Many people thought the land should be independent from South Africa. In 1971 South Africa was told their hold on the country was illegal.[10] They still did not leave. The country officially became independent on 21 March 1990. Sam Nujoma became the first President of Namibia. Come with us on the Namibia 4×4 tour
