Namibia Safaris and Tours

Our Namibia Lodge and Camping safaris take you all around Namibia. The country is situated on the on the Atlantic coast of Africa; the general landscape is dominated by the oldest desert in the world; the Namib. The surrounding safari areas are dry and visually impressive, with interesting flora and fascinating geological formations to be seen. Namibia is bordered by Angola and Zambia to the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south. The Namibian climate ranges from desert to subtropical (a great climate for a Namibia Safari) and is generally hot and dry - precipitation is sparse and erratic. The Namibian economy is heavily dependent on mining, agriculture and tourism. One can visit a wide range of Namibian attractions on one of our safaris or we can even tailor make a Namibia safari to meet your needs.
 
Namibia’s History & Background: The Bantu inhabited Namibia after the San (Bushmen) and Khoi. Because of the inhospitable Namibian coastline, the first Europeans to lay claim to the land were the Germans who annexed Namibia in the late 19th century. After the First World War, South Africa was given a mandate to rule what was then called South West Africa. After extensive guerrilla wars and conflict, Namibia was granted independence in 1990 and as such it is one of the youngest nations in Africa and in the world. The history of Namibia has proved to be a popular draw card for many Namibia Safaris, attracting many tourists to this expansive country to experience some of the great history Namibia has to offer.
