Experience Adventure With A Namibia Luxury Safari

By Catherine Jones


If you have an adventurous spirit and have dreamed of an African safari, the first thing you will need to do is research your options. If you are excited by the idea of seeing magnificent wild animals in their natural habitat, but not excited about the idea of roughing it with a tent and a jeep, there are luxurious alternatives where you can get the best of both worlds. Research the safari packages and find the Namibia luxury safari that suits you best.

One luxury safari will fly you to four destinations in Namibia, each very different from the other. You are about to experience something that has no comparison. Your first stop is the capital of Namibia, the city of Windhoek. Your first night in Namibia will be at a Relais and Chateaux property, the Hotel Heinizburg. The sixteen guest rooms are in a castle of German architecture. Even this architecture, although not African will be new to your eyes. With just about every luxury you could imagine, this is an exceptionally beautiful start to your adventure.

Shortly thereafter you will be flown to the Sossusvlei Desert Lodge with a surrounding landscape that is almost other worldly. With miles of towering sand dunes mixed with flat pans of cracking sand, the size and the terracotta color will amaze you. You will question how can there be life in such a dry ecosystem. You can choose to spend your time exploring the Namib Desert or relaxing in the luxurious lodge.

The next destination is Damaraland where you stay at the Mowani Mountain Camp, part of the Twfelfontein Conservancy. The fourteen huts are built to compliment the surrounding terrain and grouped closely together as they would be in a typical African village. This site offers a variety of activities and a chance to go on an elephant nature ride. The next day, take a hot air balloon to see broad views of this marvelous country.

Following two days of staying at the Conservancy, the final leg of the trip is the Etosha National Park. You are going to be here for two days. The Mushara Collection, a lodge that has separate villas, or the Onguma Game Reserve are your choices for lodging. The surrounding acreage is home to many of the majestic African animals. The various species, some familiar and some not, intermingle at the nearest watering hole.

This is the last stop, and at the end of your stay you will be transferred back to Windhoek, and eventually your return flight home. This is only one of the several luxury safaris offered by various travel companies. The cost of this package is over five thousand dollars per person. This is the price of luxury, especially in a country where nature reigns and the landscapes have not been marred by high rise hotels.

You should first spend hours researching the different websites. They are very elaborate and detailed with complete itineraries and magnificent photos. Any one of these safaris would be the trip of a lifetime.

For those who have never traveled to any part of Africa, there is no way to prepare you. You will be like a child seeing everything for the first time. Every sight is a new one. Your adventure will be inspirational and stay with you forever.
