Namibia
Namibia is a beautiful country to explore. The roads are excellent, most attractions are within a day's drive of each other and the country is very safe for African standards. Ideal for a tour!
1. Car
Namibia you can explore easily by car. Keep in mind long distances, your fuel level and water supply. Never drive offroad if you have no experience with it, even if you have a 4 × 4. Do not drive in the dark. The latter mainly because of the risk of wildlife on the road, and to a lesser extent because of holes in the asphalt.
2. Excursions
Book excursions in advance, preferably all from the Netherlands. Spot is sometimes difficult because there is often a minimum number of participants is required or just tour already full. By chance you fish completely behind the net.
3. Planning ahead
Search accommodation on spec is not recommended because most towns and villages have a very limited hotel supply. If you want lots to see and do within a limited time, you have to plan ahead.
4. Cape Town
You can also start the trip in Cape Town: from there you drive eight hours to the Namibian border. Useful, because flights to Cape Town are often cheaper than to Windhoek. Find out in this case whether the car over the line. Edges are accepted everywhere in Namibia, the other is much less the case.
5. Safety
Namibia is the safest country journey of Dark Africa. Even in cities like Swakopmund (and to a lesser extent Windhoek) you in the center evening street. Avoid it quiet, dimly lit streets and always check with locals to the current situation. It remains Africa.
6. Game drive
Visit Etosha or another safari park, make sure a game drive (safari by open jeep) with guide. Much more than in your rental car, animals often spot you after all the guides know where the wild resides. Drive you myself, keep safe distance from the animals and never travel between two groups of one flock by. Is there somewhere a group of cars, then there often see something spectacular.
7. Namibia Wildlife
Sleeping in camps of Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NRW, a government organization) is the cheapest option to stay in National Parks. Beautiful is that these 'camps' often within the limits of nature parks are. Here you can incidentally also sleep in normal rooms, so it is not just camping. Go for the exclusive private lodges, you pay quickly hundreds of dollars per day per person.
8. Caprivi Stip
The Caprivi Stip in the northeast is the greenest and most humid part of the country, here you see a totally different Namibia. From this you can isthmus also easy to make day trips to Victoria Falls (Zambia and Zimbabwe border) and Chobe NP in Botswana.
9. Fly-in Safari
Those wishing to travel on his sjiekst, makes a fly-in safari. Then you fly by plane (you) from lodge to lodge, to places that are sometimes only accessible from the air. Unfortunately, such a dream trip costs soon tens of thousands of euros.
10. Climate
