Namibia in SeptemberCountry forums / Africa / Namibia | ||
Hi everyone! I need your help to plan the Namibian trip in September 2014. I have few question and hope you can help me. Thanks a lot in advance! | ||
Do you have 10 days after you reached WDH or does that include Vic Falls? http://www.namibian.org/ check here for your travel options, I don't think busses go to Sossulsvlei so you might have to book a tour, from WDH to Sossusvlei it's between 6 - 8 hours by car, I think closer to 8, we had an over night at Mariental so I don't really know. In general Namibia is a very safe country to travel in due to it's low population, I think I read that it's the second lowest population per square meter after Mongolia, but that means you have to take water for at least 2 days and some food, towns and villages are far apart. Namibia isn't a low budget destination, close to Sossusvlei you have to pay 100,-- € for a lodge, the further away you get the lower the price, camping is an option and equitment can be rented in WDH, that's why I suggested a tour or maybe you can team up with some people and rent a car with a roof top tent. | 1 | |
You can get the Intercape from Livingstone to Windhoek http://www.intercape.co.za/home/ With regards to visiting Sossusvlei, if you are not renting your own car or teaming up with someone who is, your best bet is a tour. Both of the hostels I stayed in in Windhoek organised camping safaris. Wild dogs safaris was the most common one http://www.wilddog-safaris.com/ | 2 | |
Thanks a lot. I'm trying find out information about the visas. Some sources say that Georgian do not need visas, some say that we do. that's makes everything difficult. | 3 | |
