EVENTS CALENDAR Desert Knights Tour 2015 Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park, Namibia 30 April to 06 May 2015 The /Ai/Ais-Richtersveld Transfrontier Park is a unique environment for adventure sports activities, having beautiful mountainous scenery, a remote wilderness character and the presence of a major river within a desert environment.
