Namibia Wildlife Safaris

Wildlife Safaris and Holidays to Namibia

Namibia has the second lowest population density in the world which means there are large areas of wilderness. Most of this area is dry farmland or desert, but the animals of Namibia have adapted to live in these harsh environments.

A Namibia wildlife holiday offers one of the best opportunities to see cheetah in the wild, with its wide open spaces and large herds of antelope this is perfect terrain for these speedy hunters.  Unfortunately they often come into contact with sheep and goats which, in the eyes of the farmers, make them vermin and are often persecuted. There are several conservation organisations that rescue and release these cheetahs back into protected areas and a Namibia Wildlife Safari will often incorporate a visit to one of these non profit organisations.

A Namibia wildlife Safari has a lot to offer for the wildlife enthusiast with the Big Five and so much more. Animals such as gemsbok (Oryx), springbok, bat eared foxes, black rhino, ostriches and black backed jackals are all seen on a regular basis making a Namibia safari different to any other wildlife country in Africa. Being such a dry country the animals of Namibia rely on the permanent water that is often pumped to the surface from boreholes underground. These man made waterholes are the life blood for the animals, making game viewing exciting, during a Namibia safari, as you often have several species of animals around a waterhole at the same time.
