With vast landscapes and stunning deserts. Namibia is a great destination to visit during your next holiday. Namibia is great for family vacations, or even a solo tour because of its natural sceneries that bring nothing less than mental bliss. So, what do you need to know when planning your trip to Namibia? Let's find out.


Are all rumors true about Namibia?

The prominent rumor about Namibia is that it is inaccessible. Well, this is not true at all. They say a tour to Namibia is expensive mainly because of the accommodation and transport expenses, which is not true either. You can enjoy a Namibian safari even if you are not a multi-millionaire and there are ways to do it.

Choose to drive all the ways

The best way to get around in Namibia is to rent a 4*4 and drive it yourself. The capital city of Namibia has many companies that rent out vehicles, so you may get one on rent from one of these. Then the journey is all yours. You may drive on your own, and head to places that you prefer freely and leisurely. The roads are almost abandoned, and even in some national parks, you may drive on your own without taking a guided tour.

Choose your accommodation wisely

Properties such as Avani Windhoek Hotel and Casino offer different packages and their rates are also very different from each other. The rate difference comes with the activities involved, the meals involved and the extra features added. According to your budget range, you may select your package and enjoy your holiday like a boss.

Choose the green season for your tour

The green season in Namibia falls from January to March. Well, this is not the peak season during which many travelers come to explore the country. The issue with the peak season is that everything tends to go expensive during this season, including hotel packages, restaurant rates, and transportation rates. If you travel during the green season, expect to have some rainfall, but you will enjoy the calm and quiet environment without much rush or noise.

What if you choose the peak season?

Okay, if you wish to travel to Namibia during the peak season, here's what you need to do. Plan your tour well in advance, and see if you can grab any early-bird offers coming up. Peak season in Namibia falls from June to October and this is the season with perfect weather conditions. During this season, you find many things to do in Windhoek and other famous cities. If you intend to save some costs, all you need to do is to avoid the pricier adventures and entertainment activities out there. Engage in simple activities- they too can grant greater joy for sure!

What to pack?

Well, this depends on the season that you visit the country. If you plan to have your trip during the green season, you know you will face severe rainfall, so better be prepared for that. Also, take a first-aid kit with you for your safer side. Roadside assistance in Namibia is not so good, and you never know when an accident may occur.

Things to know

When you are planning your Namibian tour, know what places you will be covering during your tour. Don't miss out on exploring at least one national park because your whole tour will be in vain if you do so. Don't worry about the language because Namibians speak English (it's their official language). When in Namibia, you get the chance to indulge in different African dishes some of which are unique to Namibia, so don't miss out on this as well.
