Individual rental car tour in Namibia to the animal paradise - INTI Tours

Example trip: Animal motives "full"...

We have planned and carried out this example trip for customers in the same way. It is based on the wishes of our customers and represents a combination of different regions of Namibia. Partly private guided tours are planned, then again time at your own disposal with suggestions and with the rental car.

Such a sample trip should show you what is possible. And it should give suggestions. You are welcome to tell us your individual wishes and ideas - we will create your personal dream trip in our travel manufactory. Please feel free to call us or contact us. 

And here it goes to the trip:
You love to observe and photograph animals? - This trip is mainly dedicated to animal observation, biodiversity as well as wildlife photography. If you want to see a lot of animals during your rental car trip in Namibia, this diverse program to the "Namibian Okavango Delta" is best suited. You will start on the Central Plateau and visit two protected areas, where you will learn to understand the predatory cats of Africa and can observe and photograph them very well. The particularly pronounced contrast between the dry semi-desert areas of the western as well as the eastern Etosha National Park and the water-rich dry forests, waders and rivers of the Okavango, Kwando and Chobe in the Caprivi shows because of the different habitats a variety of different animals and plants, as hardly any other area in Africa can offer. This is a trip to the "Namibian Okavango Delta" and truly just right for nature and animal lovers. 
Note: It is often not easy as a layman to know where which animals are when. All accommodations on this trip allow guests to go on game drives themselves, but are also happy to offer locally guided game drives and boat trips to the observation areas.

Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park is known as the "Great White Place". It covers over 22,000 square kilometres and is one of the most game-rich parks in the whole of Africa. The wildlife has lost its fear of vehicles and offers excellent opportunities for game viewing and photography. For your overnight stays we have booked once a very high quality lodge with its own game reserve on the southern side of the park and then a very high quality and individual camp on the eastern side of the park.

Info on the situation in Etosha National Park: Etosha National Park suffers from a constantly growing flood of visitors. We therefore like to book the high-quality smaller lodges outside the park for our clients. However, this has the disadvantage that you cannot sit at the waterhole at night. Should you therefore prefer to spend the night inside the park, we will be happy to book this for you.

Dates & Prices

Important for this trip

Entry requirements as well as vaccination requirements:

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your trip at the time of entry and still have at least two blank pages. It must be in perfect condition, i.e. neither damaged (e.g. torn, bent, "repaired" by yourself or even accidentally washed) nor illegible or difficult to read due to dirt.
In recent times, there have been individual cases of problems with the immigration authorities at the airport and at the borders by land, because the period of validity of entry visas has been arbitrarily determined.
Germans may enter the country without a visa for short-term stays of up to 90 days per year for exclusively tourist purposes. A toll-free entry stamp (Visitors Entry Permit) is issued upon arrival at all official border crossings.

No compulsory vaccinations are required for direct entry from Germany. In case of entry from a yellow fever area or stay of more than 12 hours in transit of a yellow fever area, all persons from the age of 9 months have to prove a yellow fever vaccination. Namibia itself is not a yellow fever area.
Make sure that you and your children are up to date with the standard vaccinations according to the vaccination calendar of the Robert Koch Institute. As travel vaccinations, vaccinations against hepatitis A are recommended, and also against hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies and meningococcal disease (ACWY) for long-term stays or special exposure.

Special situation Covid-19:
Please cover your travel payments insurance-wise if you are unable to travel due to a positive test result. Some clients test themselves a few days before departure already to have a little more assurance. We find this step helpful.
You can also get tested at the airport so you can enter the country with a fresh test result. Namibia requires an English negative result no older than 72 hours prior to entry.
