Thuma Mina Safaris, Khorixas (2024)

23/02/2020

Damaraland is one of the most scenic areas in Namibia, a huge, untamed, ruggedly beautiful region that offers the more traveller a more adventurous challenge. Here there are prehistoric water courses with open plains and grassland, massive granite koppies and deep gorges. Towards the west, the geography changes dramatically with endless sandy wastes, that incredibly are able to sustain small, but wide-ranging, populations of desert-adapted elephant, black rhino, giraffe, ostrich and springbok. These animals have adapted their lifestyles to survive the harshness of the sun-blistered, almost waterless desert spaces.

Damaraland is the old apartheid name given to the region south of Kaokoland and north of the main road to Swakopmund. It extends 200km inland from the desolate Skeleton Coast and 600km southwards from Kaokoland. The name Damaraland is derived from the fact that the Damara people live in this area (they were relocated here as a result of the Odendaal Plan in the 1960's). The name Damaraland is still commonly used in tourism circles, although the entire region has now been renamed; the southern section now lies in the Erongo region while the north forms part of the Kunene region.
Highlights of the area include:

The Brandberg - Namibia's highest mountain and home to the famous 'White Lady' Bushman Painting.
Twyfelfontein - a wonderful rocky outcrop with thousands of Bushman engravings.
Spitzkoppe - a typical pointed inselberg, and a place of great mystery to the ancient San people
The Petrified Forest - which is millions of years old.
The Vingerklip (finger rock) - a towering finger of limestone that rises 35m above its base.

Damaraland was a name given to the north-central part of what later became Namibia, inhabited by the Damaras. It was bounded roughly by Ovamboland in the north, the Namib Desert in the west, the Kalahari Desert in the east, and Windhoek in the south. Damaraland is one of the most scenic areas in Namibia, a huge, untamed, ruggedly beautiful region that offers the more traveller a more adventurous challenge. Here there are prehistoric water courses with open plains and grassland, massive granite koppies and deep gorges. Towards the west, the geography changes dramatically with endless sandy wastes, that incredibly are able to sustain small, but wide-ranging, populations of desert-adapted elephant, black rhino, giraffe, ostrich and springbok. These animals have adapted their lifestyles to survive the harshness of the sun-blistered, almost waterless desert spaces. Elephant move through euphorbia bush country, and can travel up to 70km in a day in search of food and water and unusually, do not destroy trees in their quest for food. Follow black rhino cow and her calf in typical Damaraland 'melkbos' terrain. Together, Damaraland and Kaokoland are known as the Kaokoveld.

Thuma Mina Safaris is a subsidiary of Thuma Mina Investments. The words Thuma Mina mean "Send Me" it is derived from Bible verse and it reads as follows ‘And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”’ – Isaiah 6:8. It is also one of Africa's greatest artists Hugh Masekela's hit songs loosely translated as

"I wanna be there when the people start to turn it around
When they triumph over poverty
I wanna be there when the people win the battle against AIDS
I wanna lend a hand
I wanna be there for the alcoholic
I wanna be there for the drug addict
I wanna be there for the victims of violence and abuse
I wanna lend a hand
Send me"

The above is the reason why I chose the name Thuma Mina for my company. I am currently conducting tours and excursions around my native land Damaraland. It is one of my dreams to one day have a reputable organization to utilize the knowledge of my native land and conduct world renowned tours and Safari excursions.

Thuma Mina Safaris ist eine Tochtergesellschaft von Thuma Mina Investments. Die Worte Thuma Mina bedeuten "Sende mich", sie stammen aus dem Bibelvers und lauten wie folgt: "Und ich hörte die Stimme des Herrn sagen:" Wen soll ich senden und wer wird für uns gehen? "Dann sagte ich:" Hier bin ich! Sende mich “(Jesaja 6: 8). Es ist auch einer der größten afrikanischen Künstler Hugh Masekelas Hits, die lose als übersetzt werden

"Ich möchte da sein, wenn die Leute anfangen, es herumzudrehen
Wenn sie über die Armut triumphieren
Ich möchte dabei sein, wenn die Menschen den Kampf gegen AIDS gewinnen
Ich will helfen
Ich möchte für den Alkoholiker da sein
Ich möchte für den Drogenabhängigen da sein
Ich möchte für die Opfer von Gewalt und Missbrauch da sein
Ich will helfen
Schick mir"

Das Obige ist der Grund, warum ich den Namen Thuma Mina für meine Firma gewählt habe. Zur Zeit führe ich Touren und Exkursionen in meiner Heimat Damaraland durch. Es ist einer meiner Träume, eines Tages eine seriöse Organisation zu haben, die das Wissen meines Heimatlandes nutzt und weltbekannte Touren und Safari-Ausflüge durchführt.

Did you know that Leopards (Panthera Partus) are known as the most efficient predator in the world. The leopard is a cunning and skillful hunter. They keep to themselves apart from mating time, they spend most time leaving scratch and scent marks to make others aware of their territory and also in trees and stalking through the bush. Some leopards have black coats because their rosettes are hard to see.

As powerful as the leopard is, it is shy and avoids confrontation, and would seem, if one was inclined to anthropomorphise, to have an inferiority complex, often letting lion and hyena steal its kills. According to African folklore Leopard stopped sharing his meals and started hiding it in trees because Jackal and Hyena weren't reciprocating his generosity. It is a fallacy that baboons are its favourite food but they are too vocal and dangerous for the leopard to make hunting them a common occurrence.

The word ‘leopard’ stems from the Greek words le?n (lion) and pardos (panther), and the ancient belief that it is a hybrid of both. The genus Panthera, including the other three big cats – Lion, Jaguar and Tiger – is thought to have emerged in Asia, with ancestors of the leopard and lion migrating into Africa.

Wussten Sie, dass Leoparden (Panthera Partus) als das effizienteste Raubtier der Welt bekannt sind? Der Leopard ist ein schlauer und geschickter Jäger. Sie halten sich von der Paarungszeit fern, sie verbringen die meiste Zeit damit, Kratzer und Geruchsspuren zu hinterlassen, um andere auf ihr Territorium aufmerksam zu machen und auch in Bäumen und auf Pirschfahrten durch den Busch. Einige Leoparden haben schwarze Mäntel, weil ihre Rosetten schwer zu sehen sind.

So mächtig der Leopard auch ist, er ist schüchtern und vermeidet Konfrontationen und scheint, wenn man zur Anthropomorphisierung neigt, einen Minderwertigkeitskomplex zu haben, bei dem Löwen und Hyänen oft ihre Tötungen stehlen. Der afrikanischen Folklore zufolge hat Leopard aufgehört, seine Mahlzeiten zu teilen, und sie in Bäumen versteckt, weil Jackal und Hyäne seine Großzügigkeit nicht erwiderten. Es ist ein Trugschluss, dass Paviane sein Lieblingsessen sind, aber sie sind zu lautstark und gefährlich für den Leoparden, um die Jagd auf sie zu einem alltäglichen Ereignis zu machen.

Das Wort "Leopard" stammt aus den griechischen Wörtern "le? N" (Löwe) und "pardos" (Panther) und dem alten Glauben, dass es eine Mischung aus beiden ist. Es wird angenommen, dass die Gattung Panthera, einschließlich der anderen drei Großkatzen - Löwe, Jaguar und Tiger - in Asien aufgetaucht ist und Vorfahren des Leoparden und Löwen nach Afrika einwandern.

Did you know as the largest park in Namibia measuring upto 22 935 square kilometers Etosha National Park is also the largest wildlife sanctuary. Etosha means "Great white place" because of its 4 800 square kilometer salt pan, visible from space.

The pan was originally a lake but over time climate change and tectonic plate movement forced the rivers feeding the pan to change course and flow into the Atlantic Ocean. The area was originally inhabited by the Hai ||om San people who still live in the park. The San legend is that the Pan formed when a village of people was slaughtered and only the women left. The tears of these women then formed a large lake and when dried up left behind a huge white Pan.

The Pan is covered by silvery-white sand with sparse Shrubs, Grassy plains and hilly Mopane woodlands. There are 86 springs, fountains and waterholes including floodlit waterholes at each of the parks main tourist camps.

The park has 31 plant communities, 114 species of large and small wildlife and 340 bird species. The park is also home to 650 million year old fossil life - a time before the world was curved into continents. The Park is also home to one of the oldest German forts built.

Wussten Sie, dass der Etosha National Park als größter Park in Namibia mit einer Fläche von bis zu 22.935 Quadratkilometern auch das größte Naturschutzgebiet ist? Etosha bedeutet "Großartiger weißer Ort", da seine Salzpfanne eine Fläche von 4 800 Quadratkilometern hat und vom Weltraum aus sichtbar ist.

Die Pfanne war ursprünglich ein See, aber im Laufe der Zeit zwangen der Klimawandel und die Bewegung der tektonischen Platten die Flüsse, die die Pfanne speisten, ihren Lauf zu ändern und in den Atlantik zu fließen. Das Gebiet wurde ursprünglich von den Hai || om San bewohnt, die noch im Park leben. Die San-Legende besagt, dass sich die Pfanne gebildet hat, als ein Dorf von Menschen geschlachtet wurde und nur die Frauen übrig waren. Die Tränen dieser Frauen bildeten dann einen großen See und ließen, wenn sie ausgetrocknet waren, eine riesige weiße Pfanne zurück.

Die Pfanne ist von silberweißem Sand mit spärlichen Sträuchern, Grasebenen und hügeligen Mopane-Wäldern bedeckt. In jedem der Haupttouristencamps des Parks gibt es 86 Quellen, Brunnen und Wasserlöcher, einschließlich beleuchteter Wasserlöcher.

Der Park hat 31 Pflanzengemeinschaften, 114 Arten großer und kleiner Wildtiere und 340 Vogelarten. Der Park beherbergt auch ein 650 Millionen Jahre altes fossiles Leben - eine Zeit, bevor die Welt in Kontinente zerfiel. Im Park befindet sich auch eine der ältesten deutschen Festungen.

Did you know that elephants are emotional creatures with a remarkable memory. They can differentiate between human languages and they communicate by means of a low frequency rumble. The females carry their babies for 22 months. Babies suck on their trunks for comfort just like human babies suck their thumbs.
