Namibia Transportation Tips by Waxbag

Namibian Explorer with African Routes

There are really only two options for visiting the park and Namibia in general. One option is to hire a car which is great because it gives you flexibility and allows you to go where you want when you want. This can be expensive unless you have a several people to split the cost.

The other option is to take a tour with an overland company. There are various companies that offer trip through Namibia. The one that I used, African Routes, was very reliable and a great value for my money. The guide and driver was perhaps one of the nicest guys I have ever met, and the itinerary was solid.

It took the 19 day Namibian Explorer that left from Capetown and ended in Victoria Falls. We visited the Orange River on the boarder of Namibia and South Africa, Fishriver canyon, The Namib Naukluft National Park, Duwisb Castle, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, Cape Cross Seal colony, Damaraland (rock art), Etosha National Park, Okavango Delta in Botswana, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

The cost is about $1000 US and includes many activities.

Vehicle Fees at the Boarder

If you arrive Namibia by car (the only way to go unless you are with a package tour), than you must pay $110 Namibian dollars or the equivalent R110 in rand. This is a one time fee but keep our receipt as they check it once you leave the country.
