"Road congestion...  Namibia style.  I followed these guys for about 2kms before they decided to make a right hand turn into the desert".

Your Tour of Namibia needs to be carefully planned. Namibia is a big country with many of its major tourist attractions positioned far from each other. Whichever options you decide upon, other than chartering a plane, your tour of Namibia will entail a lot of driving time, much of which will be spent on gravel roads. Consider the following early planning questions:

• What is the time frame that you can allow for your vacation?
• What are the attractions that you should see and what routes to take to suite the time frame?
• What months of the year are the best for visiting Namibia?
• Do you join a scheduled guided tour - or go self guided touring?
• What is your tour going to cost?
• How can you save time and get better value for our money?
• Are your travel documents in order for travel to Namibia?

What Type Of Touring Will Suite Your Purposes Best?

Guided Touring in Namibia:

There are several well established Namibia Tour Operators offering scheduled tours around Namibia. Should you prefer to engage the services of a Booking Agent or Tour Facilitator company to organize a "tailor made" tour for you. (See Namibia Tour Operators Link Below)  Below are listed the various types of Guided Touring that can be done in Namibia. 

• Fly In Safari Touring: Flying around Namibia, often referred to as Lodge-Hopping will save you a lot of time and afford you memorable views of the sights you fly over. There are certain remote areas of Namibia that for practical purposes are only accessible by planes operated by the Tour Company that hold the particular concession for that area. On arrival at your lodge you will be collected by 4x4 vehicle, in which you can enjoy a guided safari tour with an amount of luxury. In the evening you'll be treated to the best of cuisine and sleep in air-conditioned lodges or luxury tented camps. (See Namibia Tour Operators Link Below)
• Overland Truck Touring: This type of touring is popular with younger people who may be  operating on a limited budget and with the more hardy traveller who enjoys the adventure and flavour of this type of vacation. Overnight stays are usually at camping sites, or backpacker hostels when in larger towns. I've stayed at plenty of camp sites in my time and watched plenty of 'over-landers' pitching their tents and doing their thing. I've sat around camp fires with them and listened as they all enthused about their particular tour and what fantastic value it was. I've met friendly young people taking a gap year, and once downed a beer with a medical surgeon and his wife who told me that this was their fifth overland tour in Africa. They enjoyed the 'roughing it a bit thing' and the people that they met while bumping along in the truck. They also told me that their journeying through Namibia was the "Cherry on their African Cake". The truck crews are hard working, having a driver, a licensed tour guide, and a couple of support members. There are several Namibian and South African overland tour operators offering a range of tours of Namibia - plus the Foreign Overland Operators that begin tours from their home country or that you can board, by arrangement, in Nairobi - Kenya  travelling southwards. (See Namibia Tour Operators Link Below)
• Scheduled Tour By Bus: Namibia has some well established and experienced operators offering an excellent and well thought out selection of Tours around Namibia to suite your requirements and budget. The guides are trained, licensed and knowledgeable about a variety of subjects that you, the visitor, may want to know about. The overnight stays are in selected accommodation establishments. This type of tour saves you the stress. It's organized and you can relax and watch the country roll by as the guide explains the features etc. (See Namibia Tour Operators Link Below)
• Personally Guided Tour: There are Namibia Tour Operators who cater for 1on1 type touring where you have the option of taking a pre-planned route or the route can be adjusted to suite your particular requirements. Plus scientific tours etc.  (See Namibia Tour Operators Link Below).
