Kalahari Sunset Safaris
At Kalahari Sunset we offer you the opportunity to
experience a small part in the life of a Nharo Bushman family life. This
experience will give you an insight into how this race of people used
to live through hunting and gathering. They are now depending on showing
other people how they lived and live for there livelihood.
The world around them has changed, the Bushman, still live
a way of life we have long forgotten. They have changed their way of life
and adapted to the new world around them as they have always done.
We offer you the unique opportunity to participate and experience
above anything else a way of life long since forgotten, in a way that
helps the Bushman to a brighter future.
Kalahari Sunset is able to offer you three types of
experience:
2 day Survival experience is an insight
into how bushman survived on a day to day basis in a semi-arid desert
with no surface water. This experience varies as each season offers
different roots, vegetables and general fauna. Often of particular
interest to vegetarian and nutritionists.
2 day Healer experience is a spiritual
break allowing you to get in touch with your surroundings in a very
peaceful manner - however singing and dancing can continue into
the early hours of the morning. This experience is ultimately based
around the culture and lifestyle of the Bushman and offers a small
insight into their culture. The Shaman will not perform unless is
there genuine illness - the ritual's are taken very seriously.
The Complete experience is a 4 day
amalgamation of the Survival and Healer experience. This encompasses
the whole life of the family/clan and is very much an active experience
as well as a spiritual one. Tailor made days can be arranged to
fit in with your time in Africa. (Please ask for further assistance
as this experience can run from 5-7 days, depending on your needs).
