Tommy's Living Desert Tours in Sakopmund is an adventure not to be missed. I went on a tour this morning and discovered the magnificent beauty of the desert. The very knowledgeable guide operates as if he can see under the sand. It sometimes looks as if he just puts his hand in the sand and finds a living creature. We saw a variety of geckos, other reptiles such as a desert chameleon, and even a sidewinder or desert viper. Don’t touch any of these if you don’t know what to do. Driving in the dunes was also a great adventure.

2020 has been hard. It is difficult to stay positive in these uncertain times. We are inundated with negative news. We are living in fear and uncertainty. We all need some positive vibes. We at Temba Travel decided to make a video series about our Heroes. Those people and organizations that makes life a little (or sometimes) a lot easier.

Desert Knights Cycling Tour in Southern Namibia
On 10 September, the Desert Knights cycling tour started at Hobas on the rim of the Fish River Canyon in southern Namibia. The cycling shifts are mostly in the evening and during the night. This is to reduce the stress of cycling in the desert heat. Cycling in the moonlight is a challenging, but wonderful experience for the participants. The tour ends on 16 September at Sendelingsdrift in South Africa. The tour includes a day of canoeing on the Orange River. The stark and beautiful Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park is an incredible backdrop to this 280 km cycling event.

Upgrading roads in Etosha National Park
A dedicated team is in the process of repairing and grading the roads in the Etosha National Park. This project is long overdue as there have been many complaints from visitors driving through the Etosha. The team intends to grade almost 100 km of roads in shifts at night when there is no traffic and there will therefore be less disturbance to tourists. The project is already in full swing and the results have already brought much relief to the many daily visitors passing through this world-renown National Park with its magnificent salt pans and wealth of wildlife.

Taking meat into Botswana and Namibia
We receive regular questions about taking meat and other fresh produce into Botswana and Namibia from South Africa. Due to the FMD (Foot and Mouth Disease) outbreak in Limpopo, no meat may cross the border from South Africa to Namibia or Botswana. This regulation includes biltong, animal hides, dairy products and eggs. At some of the border posts you might even find they confiscate fruit and vegetables. This means that canned products and UHT products are the best option until this ban is lifted.

Roys camp just north of Grootfontein is a very special overnight stop. The decor is rustic, the food and rooms are as good as you would expect. You can stop right next to your chalet. Each chalet has its own braai facilities, but the chalets are not fully equiped self catering chalets. We recommened that you rather enjoy their excellent meals.

OPERATION RIGHTS FOR UUKWALUUDHI UP FOR SALE

The right to operate the Uukwaluudhi Safari Lodge in the Uukwaluudhi Traditional Authority's conservancy, near Opuwo in northern Namibia, is up for sale with the reserve price set at an estimated N$9 million.

The auction of the 6 200 ha lodge, together with the conservancy's trophy hunting concession agreement, will go under the hammer on 30 July. The lodge forms part of the larger 2 025 sq km communal land which is leased out by the Uukwaluudhi Traditional Authority under a trophy hunting and concession agreement to the current tenant Wouter Smith.

Given that it is communal land, the land remains the property of the Traditional Authority.

The Uukwaluudhi Safari Lodge, situated in the tribal conservancy, is a key component for generating income from communal property. The Uukwaluudhi Conservancy was established in March 2003 and with a human population of an estimated 25 000, depends on establishing additional revenue streams from the tribal land. The Uukwaluudhi Safari Lodge carries approximately 15 00 head of game such as Black Faced Impala, Red Hartebeest, Oryx, Eland, Giraffe and other small game.

The official viewing day is this week Saturday and private viewings will also be entertained according to the auction agent. The main improvements to the property include an aeroplane landing strip, a gaming fence, two bore holes with waterholes for game, fully furnished and equipped chalets and luxury tents.
