Language
The Remote Namibia Safari is conducted in English.
Costs
This safari to Namibia includes scheduled, overnight international flights between London and Windhoek; transport in a safari vehicle or a light aircraft; accommodation in guesthouses, lodges and luxury tented safari camps; park entrance fees and usually three meals a day as specified in the itinerary.
Meals
Three meals are included on most days of this luxury Namibian safari. The exception to this is lunch and dinner in Windhoek on Days 2 and 15 and lunch on Day 16.
Drinks
A good selection of drinks is included during your stay at the Kulala properties in the Namib-Naukluft Park, Damaraland Camp, Desert Rhino Camp, Ongava Tented Camp and Skeleton Research Camp. Premium brands such as French champagne or single malt whiskies are not included in the safari price but may be available to buy at an additional cost.
Drinks are not included whilst in Windhoek and Swakopmund and will be payable locally by you.
Luggage
The Remote Namibia Safari includes a light aircraft transfer from the private Ongava Reserve to the Skeleton Coast Research Camp and on to Windhoek. Because of this, a luggage limit of 12kg per person including reasonable camera equipment. Luggage must be packed in soft squashable bags with maximum dimensions of 25cm wide x 30cm high and 62cm long - no hard suitcases or bags with wheels can be transported as they physically cannot fit into the light aircraft.
The luggage limit is seldom a problem as light, casual clothing is all that is needed along with at least one warm jumper or fleece. Warmer clothing is recommended during the winter months (June to August). Speak to us if the luggage restrictions are concerning you because for an additional cost we may be able to book an extra 'seat' to allow for extra luggage allowance.
Passengers weighing 100kg or more, or two guests travelling together whose combined weight is 200kg, must advise us in advance as an extra seat for the additional weight will have to be costed in to the package for safety purposes.
Laundry
A complimentary service is available whilst staying at one of the Kulala properties on Days 3 & 4, Desert Rhino Camp on Days 8 & 9 and Ongava Tented Camp on Days 10 & 11.
Tipping
Tipping is not compulsory. If, however, you want to tip because you have received good service, we recommend a discretionary UK Sterling GBP £5 per day per person for your safari guide and UK Sterling GBP £2 per day per person for safari camps. The latter should be placed in the communal tipping box to be distributed equally amongst all the staff. About 10% is normal in restaurants.
Passport & Visa information
You must have a valid passport together with onward travel documents in order to travel on safari. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your travel date and must include a minimum of 3 blank pages to take customs stamps. If you do not adhere to these requirements you may be denied entry to South Africa and Namibia.
It is our current understanding that travellers on a British, American, New Zealand or Australian passport do not need a visa for South Africa or Namibia. However, it remains your responsibility to double check the necessary requirements with the nearest relevant embassy or high commission in good time before you travel.
