Survival 101 - Hunting With the Bushmen
September 11, 2007
Could you survive?
If you join this tour you better warm up your fight or flight instincts. This tour takes cultural immersion to a whole new level.
Imagine hiking for half a day out into the vast plains of Namibia. You will notice that your water sources start to become scarce, the vegetation becomes golden yellow, and you have to be aware of every rumble in the bushes around you, because you are now the source of food for the animals stalking around you.
This is Bushmanland.
After about 100km, you approach a small hut village. This authentic and informative trek will have you joining the locals in a five night hunting and camping expedition. Be warned this is not for the light hearted, this is real man vs. nature and can get “pretty hardcore”
After your hunting expedition you can stay at the camp near the bushman village. This camp actually forms part of a bushman settlement. Simple dome tents provide the accommodation, with kitchen and bathroom facilities housed in separate thatched enclosures. This place is for people who are prepared to rough it a bit to get a deeper experience than staying in a lodge.
What an adventure, this is living!!
Could you do it? Do you think it is right to interact with traditional cultures? How about hunting, do you think it is right to kill wild animals?
