The finest ideas for your own Namibia holidays

By Zachary Bowman


Traveling can be amongst the greatest experiences in your lifetime. There are so very many things on our world to see. More than any country, visiting Namibia is like coming into contact with Gaia itself. Read the tips below so you're able to make the most of your holiday.

Something which could be an extremely life-changing experience, could be that of seeing a dawn at the Etosha National Park. Naturally you must be prepared to awaken roughly 1 hour before dawn and not everybody is prepared to try this! Nonetheless those that are ready to give it a go will be compensated by majestic lighting as the sun starts to cast its first shadows on the high-standing trees. The silence and "presence" of nature really is at its finest at this time of day. The animals will become active and it is not unusual to see lions being incredibly fun at this time of day. The park is the largest and earliest conservation area in Namibia and is home to 340 bird species, 110 reptiles, sixteen amphibians and over a hundred mammals, which have acclimatised to the "great white pans".

Since the creation of the Etosha National Park other 15 parks have opened around the country which make up for 14% of the entire states surface. You will have a great time seeing the many animals. There are many species which are native to this semi-arid area. The lack of rain is a blessing for tourists that may enjoy three hundred days of sunshine a year. The parks are completely different one from the other and so you may delight in travelling up and down the country and enjoy the variety. Some parks are composed of gigantic desert plains whilst others are greener pastures. Each park has its own micro-climate and ecosystem. The wildlife is exotic and rare and there are local varieties of lynx, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes and cheetahs.

Holidays in Namibia have surprisingly not genuinely become preferred among Europeans and Americans but this is basically a blessing for those that decide to discover this amazing land because they are able to experience a vacation that's truly authentic. The inhabitants and the guides are not jaded, the resorts are cheap and fabulous and the nature is totally uncontaminated.

Don't miss Kaokoland and the Kunene River : Called "coco land" by the local Himba people, this region is where they live in a nomad state. The place is populated by lions, giraffes and elephants and features a magnificent arid flora with wide yellow fields and conic cliffs. It extends North for near to 50 000 square Kilometers, up to the Hoanib River.

If you're an enthusiastic birdwatcher you're going to like Caprivi. This is a beautiful wetland area enclosed by palms and papyrus trees. Here you are going to be able to see a great deal of differing bird species and in case you like fishing get ready to enjoy over seventy differing types of fish. Namibia is populated essentially by the local Herero and Kavango people and also by the antique Dutch colonials called Afrikaners. Afrikaners are found in almost all of Southern Africa and are considered African in each respect given that they have inhabited these lands for over 400 years. There's also a significant resident population of Germans and Asians.

Traveling to Namibia can be one of the finest journeys you will ever have. There are so many places to go and things to see. This write-up will help you do it in the proper way.
