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.

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.

The most common form of transportation is a network of roads considered safe to drive. Most of which lead to various tourist attractions. Whereas, there are other more natural and rugged roadways leading to a number of areas still considered wild by definition.

These areas include the Skeleton Coast North, Namibrand and Damaraland North. While wild, these areas can still be toured by light aircraft. An aircraft safari can often be fun but is approximately three times as much as a traditional safari.

There are ways to cut the cost of an air safari. These include coupons, fuel discount cards and various discount clubs. Others include combining different forms of travel like planes, trains and automobiles. Another is too look for special two for one deals, or all inclusive packages in the travel section of the local newspaper and online.

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.

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.

Namibia, like other areas with safaris has both a calm and wild sense. It is very calming to watch the sun rise or set over the African prairie. The active hunting of wildlife on a game preserve keeps it on the wild side. While both can provide a great deal of enjoyment, there are still many other individuals whom remain in opposition to the hunting and killing of wild game.

Namibia can be a great place to visit. It is a very laid back country with laid back culture. The fisheries and game reserves often work to provide food to a number of different institutions. The local wild game reserve keeps a limited game on hand but far less than the bigger reserves in other areas of the country. As a result, the area has become better known for the scenic desert and wild prairie land that is and of itself, Africa.
