Choosing Your 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.

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.

Other air tours will take you into the wilderness to view wildlife in their natural habitats. Some desert camps are best accessed by air although they can be reached by vehicle. This country offers an extensive network of very passable roads. Some visitors choose to self drive during their stay and park their vehicles at lodges while they participate in outside activities. Organizers provide them with maps, GPS and radios to help them arrive at their destinations.

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.

Yet another means of experiencing this area is by traveling with a personal guide and staying in some of the many tent camps that are located throughout the country. The camps are reminiscent of safaris seen in old movies. There are rarely more than ten guest tents and meals are prepared many times over the open camp fire.

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.
