When considering an African tour there are many things to consider before the final decision is made. Researching which country and how long you wish to travel may take some time but selecting which company you want to facilitate your trip will be most important. Choosing the type of atmosphere you will experience while in Africa may determine whether you have a memorable trip or one you prefer to forget. Selecting one of the many Namibia safari packages can give you a variety of options to choose from.
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.
One type of package you can choose will house you in lodges that have all the amenities of home. Some feature large common areas and multiple restaurants to choose from. Many also feature swimming pools as well as simple spa areas. Additional activities are available and are included in the cost of your stay at most of the lodges. Some lodges offer the same activities at an extra cost to the client. Many times the costs involved can exceed the cost of your stay.
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 in the wilderness many visitors take tours to areas that contain wildlife. Some tours are walking tours while others are traveled to in vehicles. Rhinos and elephants are common sights because the guides are able to track them for easier viewing. You may also see zebra, Oryx, kudu and giraffes. Big cats can be found but are not a common sight because they are considered elusive.
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.
