Namibia Safari Packages And Tours

By Sharron Cantu


The Namibian desert plays host to a number of animal and plant species not found in other areas. Nature is alive and well in this region. There are a number of Namibia safari packages which can offer places to explore the many different activities the region has to offer.

Artists, photographers, singer-songwriters, stenographers, poets, writers and others may want to make Namibia a regular stop along the African trail. The area host some of the most amazing desert scenery in the world. Beyond the amazing desert scenery, the sunrises and sunsets across the African prairie are a spectacular sight to see.

Transportation in the area is generally by auto, 4-wheel drive, bus, truck or taxi. Most roads which are safe to drive lead to tourist areas. While others lead to more natural areas and settings on more rugged roadways. When traveling by rent a car, it is always best to take out the insurance waiver. Taking out a waiver is even more important when traveling in such rugged and wild areas which often pose more risk.

Some of the best locations to visit are those in wild areas. These often lie out of range of self-driving. A few examples of these would be Kaokaland West, Skeleton Coast North, Damaraland North and Namibrand. While out of range of self-drivers, these areas can often be accessed by light aircraft.

Unlike some of the larger Safaris, the ones in Namibia generally offer a wider scope. While a larger Safari may focus on a specific breed or animal, smaller ones generally host wide open game hunts in one trip. Namibia offers a number of safari outfitters to fit every need based on personal style and preference.

To reduce the cost of flight safaris, individuals often combine part self-driving and part air travel. By driving part way and flying part way, the flight segments cost much less. Of course, those doing so need also consider the extra fuel and additional miles when traveling in a vehicle. Coupons on food, drink and discount fuel cards can go along way in additional savings.

Choices in lodging can range from staying on a reserve to staying in a five star hotel. Depending on the reserve, camping may or not be an option. Generally, when camping is offered on a reserve, accommodations are in the form of cabins rather than tent camping. In some cases, in which the campground is protected from the reserve, camping may also be an option.

Whether combining the journey with air and road, or simply staying on solid ground, a Namibia safari is often a once in a lifetime experience. While many might hope to make it a regular stop, the journey can often be quite expensive. When planning ahead, there are a number of ways in which those wishing to travel to the region can find a number of discounts.

Many have reported finding Namibia more enjoyable for its smaller population. Others, will find the larger countries and reserves more preferable. Those looking for fishing, hunting, gaming and other natural activities and settings will most likely enjoy Namibia. Whether for the laid back local culture or the beauty of the desert, Namibia offers the scenic beauty of the desert, the sights and sounds of the African prairie and deserves a great deal of respect in return.
