Namibia Safaris

Absolutely! Namibia is an exceptional destination for safaris.

For your safari in Namibia, opt for neutral-toned clothing such as khakis and browns to blend in with the environment. Lightweight, long-sleeved attire is essential for sun and insect protection, along with a wide-brimmed hat. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are necessary for walking safaris. Layering is crucial for chilly mornings and evenings, so be prepared with sunscreen, sunglasses, insect repellent, and a light rain jacket. Respect local customs by wearing appropriate attire during cultural visits, and don’t forget your binoculars, camera gear, and swimwear for an unforgettable experience!

Yes, Namibia is an excellent family-friendly destination, offering limitless adventure opportunities and great value for money. Many lodges and camps accommodate children aged 12 and over, but several family-friendly options cater to younger children. Contact us to learn how we can tailor a trip for your family!

As part of the Terms and Conditions of your safari with Natural World Safaris it is essential that you purchase comprehensive travel insurance when making final payment for your safari. Your insurance should be inclusive of full medical cover including costs of emergency repatriation, cancellation and travel delay.

Namibia is regarded as a safe and welcoming destination for tourists. With a stable political environment and relatively low crime rates, visitors can explore the country's natural wonders—from the Namib Desert's iconic dunes to the wildlife-rich expanses of Etosha National Park—without concern. Always follow standard safety precautions and stay informed about travel advisories to ensure a secure and enjoyable trip.

The luggage allowance for your trip to Namibia depends on your safari type and mode of travel. For fly-in and guided driving safaris, luggage limits typically range from 12 to 20 kg per person; soft bags are recommended to minimize damage. Excess luggage can be safely stored with us at our Windhoek office, or in Maun or Kasane if you’re flying into the Okavango Delta.

Tap water is purified in hotels, lodges and other public places so it is safe to drink. If you are worried about drinking tap water, bottled water is available to purchase throughout Namibia. Two-litre bottles of water are available in the supermarkets which are great if you are on a self-drive safari. If you need to purify water yourself, you can do this by boiling it if you have gas, or by using purification tablets. Vitamin C tablets are good for disguising the taste.

Safety is often a concern for travellers, but Namibia is one of the safest countries for self-drive safaris. The country boasts a notably low crime rate against tourists and has well-maintained, sparsely travelled roads that make navigation easy. We provide a local mobile phone equipped with lodge contacts and ground operator details for support. Comprehensive maps and essential information are provided before departure, ensuring a seamless experience. Our thorough car handover process in Windhoek includes comprehensive insurance coverage and emergency assistance facilitated through provided mobile phones. Optional GPS and satellite phone rentals can enhance your journey, making Namibia’s self-drive safaris an appealing blend of ease, safety, and adventure.
