If you dream of the real Africa. If you like the fascination of the landscape. If you want to feel like an oppressive dark, the wild beauty of the great Kalahari Desert, discovering every step, every meter traveled, the mysteries of the savannah. If you dream of wild camps where, around a wood fire, you share the magic of twilight with the African musical accompaniment, all the sounds of the savannah. If you want to meet the last Bushmen, the people, ancestor of all other people, penetrate their mysteries and understand their culture remained almost prehistoric state. You want to discover the real Africa ? So come to join us, we'll make you live an unprecedented experience.
The Raid Bochiman is mostly a way to discover Africa in freedom, independence almost without the burdens of a group of tourists, but with the security of a discreet but omnipresent framework to guide you and advise you to browse the tracks of the raid that you will evolve in an African context still really authentic. Come join us and mingle with men and picturesque large wild animals.
We have prepared two new Expeditions for 2010. First, a raid special nature photography with bivouacs in the heart of the most famous spots of animal and time to enjoy it fully, then a raid "in search of the Bushmen" designed to meet the last Bushmen who continue their ancestral way of life in the Central Kalahari.

«Africa can prove itself, as with those who make the effort of near enough, to mix their breath with his deep breathing.»

It is unconsciously applying this principle, we discovered 15 years ago, that Africa so different from the caricature that convey media who most often take the northern part of the continent as a model. How to blame them, as indeed it is geographically closer and that is where the news is, unfortunately, the richest in attacks, made of hostages, insurgencies and other armed revolutions. But this is Africa , which is in the process of development, not all the Africa.
Indeed, there exists south of the continent, countries where progress moved quickly and smoothly. Country of freedom and consensus where people really are considered in their expectations and where the common good is not an empty word. Thus, Botswana , a country little known South African is probably the best reference of ecological and democratic continent. Here of a sudden we find the common places so dear to David Livingstone and explorers, but in a modern Africa and devoid of any political trauma.
In the Footsteps of Livingstone, the magic and excitement of a great adventure car in this region of Africa, which has retained its wild character and truly authentic. An off-road odyssey in the most fabulous scenery of the continent: the Kalahari Desert, Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls ... Fantastic bivouacs bush, magical landscapes, sunsets and unforgettable adventures amazing and moving ...
