I design journeys to places of power for those who want to travel deeper
Kalahari at Mariental experience
Walk after dark with ultraviolet light for scorpions, then use a guide's laser to identify the Southern Cross and Milky Way.
The experience
Ultraviolet light can make scorpions fluoresce against the sand, revealing nocturnal life almost impossible to notice by day.
When the torches go off, the guide turns upward to the Southern Cross, planets and the Milky Way above a landscape with little artificial light.
Journeys
Experience FAQ
No. Temperature and season affect activity, and the guide may find tracks or other nocturnal animals instead.
Closed footwear and long trousers are essential, and everyone must follow the guide's path and torch discipline.
Plan with Alex
Cross Deadvlei at dawn, follow desert wildlife tracks near Swakopmund and wait beside an Etosha waterhole as elephants emerge through the dust.
We will begin with your dates, your pace and the image that brought Namibia into your mind. From there, I will draw the journey that belongs to you.
I want Namibia's defining moments at their best: Deadvlei before the heat, the living desert while tracks are still sharp, Etosha as elephants approach the water. Around them, we make time for the guides, makers and conservationists who turn a beautiful road into a journey you understand.
