Namibia Safaris-Luxury African Safaris in Namibia-Tailor Made Namibia
A Namibia safari is a safari holiday with a difference. Namibia is known for its remote and intimate lodges, interaction with the indigenous people, as well as the wildlife, and offering unique opportunities to become involved with the cultural heritage of all its peoples.
Namibia is a country of startling contrasts straddling two great deserts: the Namib (from which it takes its name) is the oldest on the planet, a sea of red sand lying along the Atlantic coastline, whilst in the eastern interior of Namibia lies the Kalahari a vast and sparsely vegetated savannah sprawling across the borders of several countries.
Namibia is celebrated for its vast open landscapes. Space in which to inhale deeply and bask in an infinite supply of blue skies, sun drenched weather and magical starry nights. Namibia has one of the lowest population densities in Africa at 1.5 people per sq km and its population includes at least 11 ethnic groups.
The best time to visit Namibia is probably the cooler months between April and November although the country can be visited at any time of year.
The many national parks and game reserves boast a huge variety of wildlife in a kaleidoscope of differing environments: Giraffe amble across the blinding white saltpans of Etosha national park, Oryx plunge headlong up impossibly steep red dunes at Sossusvlei, and seals in their many thousands colonise lonely beaches along the Skeleton coast. Astonishing contrasts are everywhere giving the visitor an array of sights, sounds and smells to savour which are unique to a safari in Namibia.
Safari Club feature safaris to several distinct areas for your journey of a lifetime, any of which can be combined to make a varied and very unique safari.
The Namib Nakluft park includes the Mountain areas of the former Nakluft Mountain Zebra Park, the wetland reserve of Sandwich harbour, the Namib desert park and the magnificent apricot coloured high dunes of Sossusvlei in which area most of our safari camps are situated.
Damaraland and Kaokaland is our second area located in one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia and home of the desert elephant and the seriously endangered Black Rhino.
The Kunene River which borders Angola is very remote and is the only permanent water source for many miles. This area is the home of the Ovahimba people a tribe which still live the nomadic lifestyle of their ancestors. There is an opportunity to meet these fascinating people and to learn about their traditions and lifestyle.
The Skeleton Coast is a place like no other, inhospitable but hauntingly beautiful, named after the many shipwrecks that litter this coast. The area of Namibia has hidden sources of water which ensure that life, often in unusual adaptations, can exist here.
A safari in Namibia should include Etosha Pan, the premier wildlife area, very rich in game and home to both black and white rhino as well as leopard, lion and cheetah.
