Namibia offers some of the most stunning scenery on the planet, with vast sand dunes and lush green highlands. Your tour will take you to some of Africa’s most spectacular locations, including the Fish River Canyon, the Namib Desert, and the Skeleton Coast.
Namibians are polite and open, and they are always willing to show tourists around and explain them about their culture.
A Namibian tour entails more than just gazing at wildlife. Climbing, biking, kayaking, and stargazing are additional options. You can even embark on a hot air balloon tour, which is an unforgettable experience.
Here are a handful of the greatest safari destinations in Namibia:
Etosha National Park: Etosha National Park is a fantastic area to witness African animals. The park is home to elephants, lions, rhinos, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and many other animals.
Damaraland is home to some of Namibia’s most fascinating creatures. There are elephants, rhinos, and giraffes that are used to living in the desert. The well-known San rock art can also be seen in Damaraland.
Namibia’s Namib Desert: The Namib Desert is one of the largest deserts on the planet. Hiking, biking, and sandboarding are all options in the Namib Desert. The Skeleton Coast is a remote and deserted piece of coastline.

The following are the five various types of cheap accommodations available in Namibia:
Hostels: Namibia has a plethora of hostels, several of which provide shared rooms for as little as 10 dollars per night.
Guesthouses are yet another excellent option for budget-conscious vacationers. Private rooms with access to communal toilets often cost about $20 extra per night. Guesthouses, as opposed to hostels, often have a cosier environment, and staying in one could be a fantastic opportunity to meet locals.
Camping: Namibia has a plethora of campgrounds, several of which provide camping spots for as cheap as $5 USD per night. The majority of campgrounds now have facilities such as bathrooms, showers, and even laundry rooms.
Backpacker lodges are a distinct type of lodging that caters exclusively to low-cost travelers. In most cases, they offer individual rooms as well as dormitory-style beds and shared restrooms. Backpacker resorts often place an emphasis on community, making them a perfect location for striking up conversations with other travellers.
The best time to go on a 4 day budget safari in Namibia is from May to October, which is the dry season. During this time, the sky is clear, and the sun is shining, and most of the animals are near waterholes. This makes for great chances to see wildlife. The weather is also nice during this time, with temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.
From November to April is the wet season. This is a beautiful time to visit Namibia, but it can be hard to see animals because of the weather. The roads can be muddy and hard to get through, and animals are spread out more as they look for food and water. During this time, the weather is also much hotter, with highs that can hit 40 degrees Celsius.
Pack lightweight clothes like shorts, t-shirts and long pants for the day and evening; sandals or shoes with thick soles for hiking; a rain jacket or hooded windcheater; and a warmer layer for nights that are sometimes cooler.
Electronics, like a camera and its charger, cords for charging portable electronics, flashlights with batteries, a power bank, and a GPS device.
A local guidebook, binoculars, a small day bag, snacks, bug repellent, a hat or other head protection, sunscreen, sunglasses, and items for personal care are also important.
A passport, visa, proof of medical immunizations, and a policy for travel insurance are all important travel papers.
Do not feed the animals. This is illegal and perhaps dangerous. Animals that are accustomed to being fed by people may become hostile if not fed.
Avoid getting too near to the animals. Even if the creatures appear to be friendly, they can be hazardous. Maintain a distance of at least 15 metres from any animals, and more if the animals are huge or threatening.
Avoid making any unexpected movements. Animals may perceive unexpected movements as a threat. Stay cool and carefully back away if you spot an animal.
Do not litter. Namibia is a lovely country that must be kept clean. Pack everything out, even food leftovers and cigarette butts.
Wildlife should be treated with respect. Namibia is home to a diverse range of wildlife, and it is critical to respect these creatures. Don’t do anything that would endanger them and take advantage of the opportunity to see them in their natural habitat.
Pay attention to your guide. Your guide is an expert on Namibian wildlife and will be able to help you have a safe and fun safari.
When you book a tour with a well-known company, you can rest assured that your trip will be well-planned and go as expected. You won’t have to worry about things going wrong that you didn’t plan for, like your flight being cancelled or your bags going missing.
Most of the time, tour companies have deals and discounts that you wouldn’t be able to find on your own. This could help you save money while you’re on your trip.
