Costs
This luxury camping safari to Namibia includes scheduled international flights between London and Windhoek; transport in a specially designed safari vehicle; all noted transfers; accommodation in a combination of good lodges, comfortable guesthouses and private luxury mobile camps; full camping equipment; campsite fees; entrance fees to all national parks and sites and usually three meals a day.
Meals
The Classic Namibia Experience includes almost all meals. The only excluded meals are lunch and dinner in Windhoek on Day 2, lunch and dinner in Swakopmund on Days 9 & 10 and lunch on Day 13.
Drinks
Depending on which guesthouse or lodge you are staying each evening, some of the drinks may be included. Usually, drinks will attract an additional charge to be settled by you before you depart each place. South African wine is served with each evening meal whilst in a luxury mobile camp and mineral water will be provided on your safari vehicle throughout the safari. Any other drinks must be bought at your own expense. Your guide will let you know where to stock up on soft drinks, wines, beers and bottled mineral water. Each vehicle has a cool box and/or fridge in which you can store drinks.
Laundry
A laundry service is not offered on this luxury camping safari. However, it is possible to arrange for laundry to be done for you is whilst in Swakopmund (Days 9 & 10). There would be a charge for this.
Throughout the safari you can always ask your guide for a bucket of water should you want to do some hand washing. We recommend you take a small packet of washing powder with you but if you don't have this to hand the guide will usually have some available or you can pick some up at a shop in Namibia during your trip. There will be parts of the tent where you can hang a small amount of clothing to dry. Alternatively you can take some string with you in case you need to fashion a temporary washing line.
Tipping
It is customary to tip in Namibia if you have received a good service. The amount you tip is discretionary, however we recommend about GBP £5 per day for your safari guide and GBP £2-3 per day for the mobile camp team. The tips are to be handed over to the guide or safari operator at the end of your safari to ensure they are divvied up evenly. A 10% tip is standard at restaurants.
Visa & Passport requirements
We currently understand that travellers on British, American, Australian and New Zealand Passports do not require a visa for South Africa or Namibia. However, as immigration regulations in Africa can change without notice we recommend you check this with the nearest relevant embassy to you. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct visa and passport documentation before you travel.
Even though a visa may not be required, it is essential that your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your travel date and that you have at least 2 blank pages for immigrations stamps. These must be visa pages and not the 'endorsement' pages included at the back of some passports.
