Namibia Safari Packages And Tours

By Sharron Cantu


When it comes to going on safari, there is no place like Africa. Some of the best safari experiences can be found by booking one of many Namibia safari packages. While there are natural wild game reserves in the country, it is the scenic desert and spectacular drives to which most visitor are attracted. Whether Archeologist, Artist, Musician, Poet or Writer, it is also an area full of inspiration and treasure.

It is for this reason many artists and writers call the area home. For others, it is simply a once in a lifetime experience. Photographers are often some of the most populace when it comes to visitors. Most likely because of the beautiful desert scenery and vivid sunrises and sunsets.

Traveling by car or off-road vehicle is typically the way to get around. A network of roads are safe for self-driving. Most of these official safe to drive roads lead to amusement parks and tourist attractions. Many individuals say the drive alone is worth the journey regardless of the destination.

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 safari operations, those in Namibia offer a much more relaxed experience. As there are fewer scheduled hunts, it is often much quieter than staying a large reserve. Namibia also offers a number of outfitters which can address needs of those needing equipment or assistance. When someone needs assistance, it is often provided in an efficient and timely manner.

When individuals combine air and road travel, there can often be savings. It is important to consider food, fuel and lodging as well as gas when assessing the cost of a combined trip. In some cases, it can end up being far more expensive and in others, far less. A good way to determine whether a savings can be realized is to determine the distance between home, the local airport and the final destination.

Depending upon the package selected, lodging can vary widely in cost and style. It is often good to read a variety of reviews of any establishment before making a reservation. When a deposit is required, it is important to understand any and all policies as related to cancellation or other changes. If not, any credit cards used to make a reservation may be subject to a charge for fees and penalties.

Whether staying on solid ground, or soaring mid-air, then back down to earth, it is the journey that is most important. While some travelers may see savings by sharing air and road travel, most often the costs outweigh the benefits. Still, when a savings can be garnered, it can certainly be a great way to travel.

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.
