African safaris are an important step for those deciding to enjoy one. Selecting not only the country you will visit but also the itinerary of your trip can involve a lot of research over an extended period of time. Selecting the country to visit and what activities you will participate in while there may be the most important part of your research project. Choosing one of the many Namibia safari packages available may give you exactly what you are looking for.
There are many areas worth visiting in this country. The topography covers a wide spectrum of regions that include mountains, plains, desert and miles of sandy coast line. Each of these areas could serve as a perfect destination but most companies offer groupings of three or more regions in their safaris. The large areas covered sometimes include air trips that can help cover the territory quickly.
The most common air excursion involves the Skeleton Coast area. Here you will experience miles of coastal waters that are littered with ship wrecked vessels from the past and whale skeletons. It is one of this country's most beautiful regions and should not be missed.
There are other air tours available for visitors that allow you to view the wildlife from the air and on the ground. You may also want to fly to the more remote camps located in the high desert. Self driving tours are also available through tour companies. You are supplied with maps and GPS and allowed to traverse the routes at your own speed. Many travelers choose to leave the vehicles at local lodges while they travel into the wilderness with guided tours.
When selecting your package you may want to select one that offers housing in various lodges located in the areas you are visiting. Some of the lodges offer many amenities found in cities. They may have several dining rooms to choose from and swimming pools which will appeal to any children in your group. Most include activities like day trips into the bush for wildlife viewing or overnight camping outings in nearby wilderness areas. Some lodges include these activities in the cost of your stay while others do not. Guests are advised that these additional costs can sometimes exceed the cost of their lodging.
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.
While camping out guests are guided, either on foot or in vehicles into the wilderness to view elephants, black rhinos, giraffes and other animals common to the area they are in. Some guests are lucky enough to spot lions or cheetahs but this is not common because they are very elusive.
This area is off the beaten track for tourists but you may find that one trip to Namibia is not enough to truly appreciate all it has to offer.
