Selection Of Namibia Safari Packages

By Iva Cannon


African safaris are an important step for those deciding to enjoy one. Selecting not only the country you will visit but also the itinerary of your trip can involve a lot of research over an extended period of time. Selecting the country to visit and what activities you will participate in while there may be the most important part of your research project. Choosing one of the many Namibia safari packages available may give you exactly what you are looking for.

There are many varied and beautiful areas to be experienced in this country. You will find mountains, coastal beaches, high plains and deserts that offer beautiful scenery as well as a wealth of wilderness and wildlife to enjoy. Walking safaris and air trips are part of nearly every trip and each territory visited might serve as a the high point of your stay. Most tours will cover three or more regions contained within the area.

One air excursion that is highly recommended is to the Skeleton Coast. Here you will see beached whale bones as well as ships that have washed ashore after sinking. It is an experience that should not be missed while in Africa. Most safaris include a visit to this area in the itinerary.

You may have the choice of being able to self drive through this country. Tour companies will supply a vehicle, maps, GPS and radios to accommodate you. The roads are in excellent condition in this area and the freedom of self determination appeals to many. Air travel is still necessary to reach many of the wilderness camps especially in the high desert. Some visitors choose to park their vehicles at one of the many lodges while they travel with guides into the wilderness.

One type of package you can choose will house you in lodges that have all the amenities of home. Some feature large common areas and multiple restaurants to choose from. Many also feature swimming pools as well as simple spa areas. Additional activities are available and are included in the cost of your stay at most of the lodges. Some lodges offer the same activities at an extra cost to the client. Many times the costs involved can exceed the cost of your stay.

A wilderness package can also be booked. In this case you are transported to camps located throughout the regions you are scheduled to visit. The camps are small and rarely contain more than ten guest tents. Your meals may be cooked over an open fire by staff and evenings are spent sitting around the fire pit with staff and other guests.

While camping out guests are guided, either on foot or in vehicles into the wilderness to view elephants, black rhinos, giraffes and other animals common to the area they are in. Some guests are lucky enough to spot lions or cheetahs but this is not common because they are very elusive.

Your trip to Namibia may turn out to be the first of many trips to this beautiful country. Most visitors feel that there is much more to see than can be seen in one ten day tour and hope to return in the future.
