Namibia Holidays - Overview

Namibia Holidays, Self-Drive Holidays and Wildlife Holidays

World Big Cat Safaris offers tailor made holidays in the scenic country of Namibia. With so much to offer the traveller we can advise you the best areas for one of the best African experiences available. With a population of just over 2 million it is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world with most of the inhabitants living in the major towns and cities. Several ethnic groups still live a traditional life style herding goats across the northern areas of the country.

The annual average rainfall in Namibia varies from 50mm along the coast to 700mm along the Caprivi Strip in the north of the country. To the naked eye, Namibia is a dry and desolate country with not much in the way of wildlife, but if you look hard enough and in the right places you will see a host of endemic animals that range from desert beetles that drink moisture from the dew that they trap on their legs to elephants that have adapted to living in the desert, to one of the largest populations of cheetahs on the African continent making safaris in Namibia unique.

What to expect on your Namibia Holiday: Namibia is one of the friendliest countries in Africa and they are always intrigued by foreign tourists who come to visit their country. Many safaris in Namibia are done by light aircraft, but with a good road system, Namibia is a fantastic self-drive destination. As with other African destinations however please bear in mind that on occasions transfers and service levels etc. may not be up to western standards and it is essential that the traveller is patient and enjoys this as part of the experience and adventure of visiting Africa.
