Formerly known as South-West Africa, Namibia has experienced a peaceful transition from periods of colonial rule. Namibia was first ruled by Germans, then after by South Africans. Namibia today is a constitutional and democratic country that provides freedom of speech, association and religion. Namibia’s diverse population includes the dominant Ovambo people who traditionally live in the north. The Damara people, Herero, Himba and Bushmen people are other tribes and are considered white Namibians.

Despite this diversity, Namibia has a tiny population of over 2 million people. This is because there’s a lack of water in most parts of the country with permanent rivers only on its northern and southern boundaries. The country is an exceedingly arid desert and in most parts, rain puts in a regular appearance, especially in the northern regions. Temperatures are extreme in the desert, with daytime averages between 25–35°C in the rainy season, and cooling to 15–25°C in the winter months. The land falls off in a dramatic escarpment down to the west of the Namib Desert. It runs for 1,600km alongside the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. It is best known for the spectacular apricot-coloured dunes of Sossusvlei and to the east, the plateau slopes off more gradually merging into the great sand sheet of the Kalahari Desert. Most safaris in Namibia make use of a three-star quality level of lodge safari accommodation where possible. Lodges and chalets are chosen for comfort, clean, lines and value for money, rather than luxury. The type of accommodation may differ from location to location, and make use of bush chalets, wildlife lodges, permanent tented safari camps, and smaller hotels.

Adventurer Explorations camps consist of serviced spacious dome tents, designed to provide comfort in remote wilderness areas. The style of accommodation takes you back to the great days of African exploration. Pure cotton linen bedrolls (with duvets) on GI stretchers, bedside tables with lanterns, and mini luggage benches complement the atmosphere in pristine, wild camping areas. Separate toilet and shower ‘bathrooms’ with old-style tin bucket showers and basins and amenities create simple serviced comfort.

Adventurer camping brings the guest closer to nature, utilizing lively campfires, hurricane lanterns, diverse activities, and a warm atmosphere permeating the camp (and its simple comforts). Adventurer camps are specifically outfitted to create that wilderness camping feel with a clear emphasis on essential camp comforts and maximum wilderness experience.
