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.
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.
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.
You can choose to stay in a lodge while touring this country. They are large and offer many amenities usually found in hotels around the world. With swimming pools, shopping opportunities and several dining areas at your disposal touring can be pleasant for all concerned. Most of the lodges have activities for their guests to participate in including short safaris into the wilderness to view wildlife and scenic views. The cost of these excursions is usually included in the cost of any travel package.
Yet another means of experiencing this area is by traveling with a personal guide and staying in some of the many tent camps that are located throughout the country. The camps are reminiscent of safaris seen in old movies. There are rarely more than ten guest tents and meals are prepared many times over the open camp fire.
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.
