When it comes to going on safari, there is no place like Africa. Some of the best safari experiences can be found by booking one of many Namibia safari packages. While there are natural wild game reserves in the country, it is the scenic desert and spectacular drives to which most visitor are attracted. Whether Archeologist, Artist, Musician, Poet or Writer, it is also an area full of inspiration and treasure.

Regardless of hobbies and interest, Namibia can provide a great deal of inspiration. Whether from the beautiful sunrises and sunsets or the beautiful desert scenery, this region has inspired poets and writers, philosophers, scientists and others. In the process, thousands of people get to enjoy the beauty through the art and words left by others.

Transportation in the area is generally by auto, 4-wheel drive, bus, truck or taxi. Most roads which are safe to drive lead to tourist areas. While others lead to more natural areas and settings on more rugged roadways. When traveling by rent a car, it is always best to take out the insurance waiver. Taking out a waiver is even more important when traveling in such rugged and wild areas which often pose more risk.

These areas include the Skeleton Coast North, Namibrand and Damaraland North. While wild, these areas can still be toured by light aircraft. An aircraft safari can often be fun but is approximately three times as much as a traditional safari.

Unlike some safari operations, those in Namibia offer a much more relaxed experience. As there are fewer scheduled hunts, it is often much quieter than staying a large reserve. Namibia also offers a number of outfitters which can address needs of those needing equipment or assistance. When someone needs assistance, it is often provided in an efficient and timely manner.

To reduce the cost of flight safaris, individuals often combine part self-driving and part air travel. By driving part way and flying part way, the flight segments cost much less. Of course, those doing so need also consider the extra fuel and additional miles when traveling in a vehicle. Coupons on food, drink and discount fuel cards can go along way in additional savings.

Lodging, whether independent or part of a package can range widely in price and style. One reason it is often recommended that travelers read a variety of reviews before booking a reservation. When booking, it is essential to ask about any special requests and request information on the cancellation policy.

Whether staying on solid ground, or soaring mid-air, then back down to earth, it is the journey that is most important. While some travelers may see savings by sharing air and road travel, most often the costs outweigh the benefits. Still, when a savings can be garnered, it can certainly be a great way to travel.

Many have reported finding Namibia more enjoyable for its smaller population. Others, will find the larger countries and reserves more preferable. Those looking for fishing, hunting, gaming and other natural activities and settings will most likely enjoy Namibia. Whether for the laid back local culture or the beauty of the desert, Namibia offers the scenic beauty of the desert, the sights and sounds of the African prairie and deserves a great deal of respect in return.
