Namibia - A Truly Unique Adventure

Looking to visit one of the most unique places in the world? If yes, Namibia should be on top of your list. From the ancient dunes of the Namib Desert to the cultural tapestry woven by its various tribes, Namibia is an absolute dream for those with an adventurous spirit. To get a real flavor of what this unique country has to offer, rent a 4x4 truck with a roof tent and set off to a drive of a lifetime. Places to visit: - Windhoek- capital of Namibia - See the amazing Quiver trees at the Quiver tree forest - Drive through the Tropic of Capricorn… there are two points! - Take a hike in the Grand Canyon of Namibia - River Fish Canyon. - Get lost under the sand of the fascinating ghost town of Kolmanskop - Hike the incredible dunes in Sossusvlei and see the 900 year old trees in Deadvlei, an amazing clay pan - Visit the charming town of Luderitz - Make a quick stop for gas and apple pie in Solitaire - Take a stroll around Swakopmund and see flamingos and seals on Wolvis Bay - Sleep under a bed of stars in Spitzkoppe- The night sky is your 1 million star hotel! - Go on a self drive game/ safari in Etosha. We saw giraffes, buffaloes, dear, different species of birds, lots of zebras. They are everywhere! Didn’t spot any lions but we saw these in another safari we did in Tanzania. Africa to me, is the most beautiful continent on earth! 💰How much does it cost to rent a house on wheels? We went to Namibia for 15 days but rented the vehicle for 12 days. If you have time and money to stay longer, I’d suggest staying at least three weeks so you can take your time driving, resting and taking in the scenery. Namibia is a big a country and you’ll spend a lot of time behind the wheel because there’s a lot to see. The cost for renting a 4x4 with a roof tent was $1,200 including full insurance, with a company called Britz. There are other companies and they have different prices depending on the type of vehicle, tent and extras. We went for the budget friendly, basic vehicle - Not for the instagram friendly; Jeep with solar panel for a ridiculous price. At the end of the day, you are still sleeping in a tent! 😂 The price included: • Sleeping bags, pillows and blankets for two. • Kitchenware - plates, glasses, kettle, pots & pans. • Small gas cylinder • Portable stove • Picnic chairs and table • Freezer Gas cost: 600 and we drove 4,000 km. Campsites cost: $210 (5 campsites) The days we didn’t have the car, we slept at Urban Camp in Windhoek, that was an additional $120. We would have loved spending more time in Namibia but our budget didn’t allow. Will definitely go back to explore more of this beautiful gem in the world. This year, my wish is to travel around China and Iran 🤞 #namibia #africa #afrika #adventure #landscape #photography #travel #beauthentic #wanderlust #fulltimetravel #kolmanskop #namibiatravel #africatravel #safari #travelitinerary #2024wish
