Discover The Perfect Namibia Luxury Safari

Discover The Perfect Namibia Luxury Safari

By Catherine Jones


The adventure of an African safari is the dream of many travelers. There are many options to consider. Africa is a huge continent with many countries, each offering a unique experience. There are people who see themselves standing by in amazement as they watch wild animals run free, but do not see themselves camping in rugged country to have this vision. Now you can have the wilderness and luxury in the same package with a Namibia luxury safari.

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.

Your next stop is the Sossusvlei Desert Lodge where guests are surrounded by towering sand dunes of terracotta color due to the iron content. The dunes look forsaken of any life forms. This is one of the driest ecosystems in the world, yet there are flat pans of cracked sand, vleis, that do sustain some life. You will spend two days exploring the Namib Desert, or you may choose to take in the luxury of the 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.

Spend a lot of time researching the websites, which are elaborately designed and filled with information. Each trip has its own itinerary, so you can understand what is coming up next. Whichever you choose, you will know this is the trip of a lifetime.

For visitors who have been to Africa there are no words to describe the newness of landscapes, animals and architecture that your eyes are about to see. Like a young child sees life, you will experience many things for the first time. Prepare to be inspired.
