Choices For Namibia Safari Packages

By Iva Cannon


African tours are very popular and selecting the one that is best for you and your family may take extensive research before making a decision. There are a multitude of countries on the African continent to choose from and while some are set up to accommodate tourism others offer a chance to see the wilder side of African culture as it was seen decades ago. Namibia safari packages are reputed to offer the best of both of these options for their clients.

The country is sectioned into several different topographic areas that include mountains, high desert, plains and coastal beach areas. Each area can offer a complete experience on its own merit but most tour companies offer safaris into at least three different regions during your stay. Some of these excursions include air trips to the next location.

The air trip to the Skeleton Coast is usually included in all tours. Visitors find miles of sandy beaches and can view beached ships that have washed ashore over time and the bleached bones of whales can be found here also. This coastal area is one of the most beautiful areas in Africa.

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.

You can choose to stay in a lodge while touring this country. They are large and offer many amenities usually found in hotels around the world. With swimming pools, shopping opportunities and several dining areas at your disposal touring can be pleasant for all concerned. Most of the lodges have activities for their guests to participate in including short safaris into the wilderness to view wildlife and scenic views. The cost of these excursions is usually included in the cost of any travel package.

Another type of package may travel from camp to camp throughout the areas to be visited. You can expect to have a private guide provided for these tours. The settings are much smaller than seen at the lodges with only six to thirteen tents available for guests. Meals are served in a communal setting and large bonfires give it a wild west feel.

From the camps guests are taken into the country side to view elephants, zebra, and rhino. This country has some of the last rhinos that have not had to be reestablished in the mountain desert areas. You may also see big cats, such as lions or cheetahs but they are very reclusive and are seldom seen. This country can also boast of some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. From red mountains to painted desert scenes and lush valleys that teem with various antelope and deer.

Whichever type of tour you select you may find that one trip is not enough time to thoroughly enjoy the wonders that this country offers to visitors from other parts of the world.
