How to Plan a Namibia Safari

Planning a once-in-a-lifetime safari to Namibia can feel like a big adventure in itself—but with the right guidance, it’s easy, exciting and completely stress-free. At Namibia Tours & Safaris, our expert consultants are here to walk you through every stage, from that first spark of inspiration to your final sundowner in the desert.

Namibia has it all—dune-sculpted landscapes, wildlife-packed national parks, stargazing skies, and coastal charm. And whether you’re dreaming of a luxury fly-in, a relaxed self-drive, or a privately guided adventure, we’ll help you build your ideal journey, tailor-made to suit your travel style.

Here’s how to plan your perfect Namibia safari in 2025, in five simple steps—with our team beside you all the way.

Step 1: Explore the Possibilities on Our Website

The best place to start? Right here on our website. Dive into our handpicked itineraries to get a feel for what’s possible. From the iconic dunes of Sossusvlei to the remote wilderness of Kaokoland, each journey we suggest is designed by locals who know the land.

Take your time browsing—we’ve got ideas for self-drivers, families, photographers, honeymooners and luxury seekers alike. Whether you're drawn to wildlife, adventure, culture or coast, there’s a route to match.

Need help narrowing it down? No problem. That’s what we’re here for.

Step 2: Get in Touch and Let’s Start Planning

Once you’ve got a rough idea of what excites you, it’s time to get in touch with us. This is where your dream trip really starts to take shape.

Tell us what you’re after—your travel dates, interests, budget, pace—and we’ll recommend the best regions, activities and accommodation options to suit. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the answers. Our consultants are Namibia experts, and they’ll ask the right questions to help you figure out what works best.

This one-on-one planning is what we love most—getting to know you and building a personalised safari that’s 100% you.

Step 3: Fine-Tune Your Tailor-Made Itinerary

Together, we’ll shape your route into something special. Whether you want more time in Etosha, a lodge with a private guide, or to swap a night of glamping for a luxury suite—we’ll adjust everything until it’s just right.

Namibia is vast, so we’ll make sure your travel time is balanced, your lodges are well located, and your trip flows beautifully. We’ll also offer tips you might not have considered—like the best months for wildlife sightings, scenic flights, hidden gems or where to stop for the perfect roadside picnic.

Our local insight makes the difference between a good holiday and a truly unforgettable one.

Step 4: Confirm Your Booking and Relax—We’ve Got This

Once you're happy with the itinerary, we’ll take care of all the bookings, logistics and confirmations. You don’t need to spend hours juggling accommodation, transfers, park permits or car hire—we handle everything for you.

We’ll provide a full travel pack, including detailed day-by-day plans, insider tips, a packing list, and emergency contact details. All you need to do is book your international flights (we’ll guide you on the best timing for that, too) and get ready for the adventure ahead.

And yes—our team is still just a call or message away if you need anything before you travel.

Step 5: Live the Dream You Planned

You’ve imagined it for months—now it’s time to experience the magic. Whether you’re climbing a dune at sunrise, tracking elephants through Etosha, kayaking with seals at the coast or sleeping under the stars in Damaraland, your tailor-made itinerary is about to unfold.

You’ll travel with peace of mind knowing every detail has been carefully organised by our team. And if you need support on the ground while you're here, we’re just around the corner—literally. We’re based in Namibia, and we’re here if you need anything while you travel.

We’ll even check in with you along the way to make sure everything is running smoothly.
