Namibia - A Truly Unique Adventure
Looking to visit one of the most unique places in the world? If yes, Namibia should be on top of your list.
From the ancient dunes of the Namib Desert to the cultural tapestry woven by its various tribes, Namibia is an absolute dream for those with an adventurous spirit.
To get a real flavor of what this unique country has to offer, rent a 4x4 truck with a roof tent and set off to a drive of a lifetime.
Places to visit:
- Windhoek- capital of Namibia
- See the amazing Quiver trees at the Quiver tree forest
- Drive through the Tropic of Capricorn… there are two points!
- Take a hike in the Grand Canyon of Namibia - River Fish Canyon.
- Get lost under the sand of the fascinating ghost town of Kolmanskop
- Hike the incredible dunes in Sossusvlei and see the 900 year old trees in Deadvlei, an amazing clay pan
- Visit the charming town of Luderitz
- Make a quick stop for gas and apple pie in Solitaire
- Take a stroll around Swakopmund and see flamingos and seals on Wolvis Bay
- Sleep under a bed of stars in Spitzkoppe- The night sky is your 1 million star hotel!
- Go on a self drive game/ safari in Etosha. We saw giraffes, buffaloes, dear, different species of birds, lots of zebras. They are everywhere! Didn’t spot any lions but we saw these in another safari we did in Tanzania.
Africa to me, is the most beautiful continent on earth!
💰How much does it cost to rent a house on wheels?
We went to Namibia for 15 days but rented the vehicle for 12 days.
If you have time and money to stay longer, I’d suggest staying at least three weeks so you can take your time driving, resting and taking in the scenery.
Namibia is a big a country and you’ll spend a lot of time behind the wheel because there’s a lot to see.
The cost for renting a 4x4 with a roof tent was $1,200 including full insurance, with a company called Britz.
There are other companies and they have different prices depending on the type of vehicle, tent and extras. We went for the budget friendly, basic vehicle - Not for the instagram friendly; Jeep with solar panel for a ridiculous price. At the end of the day, you are still sleeping in a tent! 😂
The price included:
• Sleeping bags, pillows and blankets for two.
• Kitchenware - plates, glasses, kettle, pots & pans.
• Small gas cylinder
• Portable stove
• Picnic chairs and table
• Freezer
Gas cost: 600 and we drove 4,000 km.
Campsites cost: $210 (5 campsites)
The days we didn’t have the car, we slept at Urban Camp in Windhoek, that was an additional $120.
We would have loved spending more time in Namibia but our budget didn’t allow. Will definitely go back to explore more of this beautiful gem in the world.
This year, my wish is to travel around China and Iran 🤞

A Fridge in the middle of the desert
A staycation in my beautiful country Namibia. We took some time away to a lodge (which is a cabin in nature), we went to a luxury lodge named Desert Grace (The Pink Lady).
Their most special feature is a Pink Fridge in the middle of nowhere.
How to get there: by driving or carhire. About 3hrs from Windhoek.
The lodges provide transportation in between scenic spots.
High points of this trip:
1. Introduction and history of the lodge
2. Private pools with every room
3. A fantastic bar with neo sign “One Night in Namibia”
4. Wildlife - animals on the drive
It’s a special experience of Namibia
Tip: try to stay one night at each lodge in the same area. They are all 20-30min apart

Safari in Rwanda 🇷🇼
The safari I did in Rwanda was an incredible experience.
Completely immersed in the natural environment, we slept in small houses within the park and during the day we traveled the dirt roads in our 4x4 with our great guide.
We were lucky enough to see a large number of animals, even some that are rather rare to observe.
We also took a night excursion during which we were able to see lions hunting and other animals, each more impressive than the last.
It’s a completely exotic adventure that creates incredible memories.

A lifetime experience in Krugar National Park
#fallishere #wildlife #southafrica #kruger #nationalpark #safari
A lifetime experience is to head to the world renowned Kruger National Park located in South Africa.
This is one very popular game reserve that you have to go if you are coming here to johennasburg. They have a wide array of animals, reptiles and birds and has a huge area covering more than 19k square metres.
The best experience for this reserve is to be driven in one of the high elevated keeps which gives you a bird eye view among the high dry grasses making this experience a never to forget. Also, don't forget to catch a glimpse of the African sunset too!
Perfect combo of danger and fun
Thrilling activity , honestly the best , The craziest activity I have ever tried , you got to walk with the Lion and pet them , but honestly it’s scary and terrifying, you got your tour guide who shares tips and advices, at first I almost fainted but later on , I enjoyed , these Lions aren’t tamed or used for circus, they kept them in their habitat, the tour cost was 75$

Great day at Safari World Bangkok 🦏
#bangkoktrip
Safari World in Bangkok is a thrilling and immersive wildlife experience that offers a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with a variety of exotic animals. As I explored this expansive park, I was immediately captivated by the diverse range of wildlife and the engaging shows.
The park is divided into two main sections: Safari Park and Marine Park. The Safari Park takes you on a safari-like adventure where you can observe animals in a more naturalistic setting. The Marine Park features entertaining animal shows, including dolphins, sea lions, and elephants.
What truly sets Safari World apart is its commitment to animal conservation and education. It's a place where visitors can learn about wildlife while enjoying exciting performances.
Safari World is a must-visit for families, animal lovers, and anyone seeking a memorable day of wildlife encounters in Bangkok. It's a place that combines entertainment with a conservation message, leaving you with a deeper appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom. #bangkok #thailand #safari
🐘ThapprayaSafari:Elephant Ride and cautions
#timetotravel
📍 Chang Thai Thapprya Safari
🐘 ❤️ Our visit to Chang Thai Thapprya Safari in Thailand offered both excitement and reflection. At 600 baht per person, we enjoyed a 30-minute elephant ride, a thrilling first-time experience. However, it came with mixed emotions as we witnessed instances of elephants being handled roughly, even showing signs of distress and injury when they became aggressive.
⛰️ 🌳 Beyond elephant rides, the safari presents an array of activities, including shooting and horse riding, along with jungle experiences, each with its pricing.
🚖 💴 Situated far from downtown, it's advisable to take a taxi and arrange for the driver to wait, but ensure to discuss fares clearly.

🐘 Sighting in Minneriya National Park 🇱🇰
Going on a safari is one of the activities that you should not miss in Sri Lanka. One of the world’s most spectacular wildlife phenomenon that you can find in the island nation is the elephant gathering in Minneriya National Park. Located in the north-central province of Sri Lanka, Minneriya National Park is home to hundreds of Asian elephants which thrive on the Minneriya Tank, a reservoir built around 1700 years ago.
The national park can only be explored by safari jeeps. We hired a jeep from Sigiriya and reached the entrance of national park in an hour. The jeep traveled through a forest before reaching the Minneriya Tank where we spotted herds of elephants and buffaloes by the reservoir. We were also fortunate to sight some other wild animals like foxes and native birds.

The Safari Drive At Pilanesberg National Park
#safari #safaripark #safariworld #southafrica #africa #pilanesburg #animal #wildlife #wildlifesafari #adventure #mustvisit #amazing
Nothing is complete without visit one of the safaris in south africa. And what will make it perfect is the game drive out into the national park. You can either drive your own vehicle or seat one of this HUGE elevated jeeps and drive around the entire safari where pilanesberg is the 2nd most visited national park in africa after kurger national park.
In these drives, more often you have to have some luck to see the animals and if your luck is pretty good you will meet the big 5s, elephants, lion, giraffe, rhino and and buffalo. For me we only manage to see 3 of the Big 5 and came up really close with the rhinos with the amazing sunset at the back.
This is one experience everyone will dream off, the experience is somewhat watching national geographic but with you inside. So thrilling and exciting. just WOW!
Amazing Safari Stay At Pilanesberg
#safari #pilanesburg #nationalpark #africa #johannesburg #safaristay #resort #staycation #romantic #campingglamping
Safari stay is something that everyone would want to try at least one in their life! Head to africa and one of the many national park to have this experience. For me was staying in Ivory Tree Game Lodge located at Kgabo Drive, Bagatla Gate, Pilanesberg National Park, 0316, South Africa. This Safari stay is located on the north of PIlanesburg and although it does not have an overview of the national park, but this stay is more than perfect. Great airconditioned room overlooking the forest, great buggy service and guides even in the resort itself.
If you see the cost, it will be super expensive, as the resort comes with 2 game drives and a full breakfast - dinner course on inclusive. This is one experience i will never forget!
Stay tune to my other post about the game drive in Pilanesberg National Park!

What an adventure!
I just got back from my travels and really did have the time of my life! I done a 7 day safari camp in Kenya followed by a trip to Zanzibar. The safari camp exceeded my expectations. It was amazing to be able to see the animals in their natural habitat! The game drives are super fun and you're constantly on the lookout for the 'big 5', which which we did see. I'd do this over and over again that's for sure. If it ain't already..put it on your bucket list! #travel #safari #kenya
Safari fun 🇿🇦
If you find yourself in South Africa, I highly recommend going to the Kruger National Park! It’s full of beauty and wonder. I booked an overnight safari where I stayed at a lodge and the I booked the night safari. Both safaris were fun and full of different kinds of animals! I also got lucky when I was there, the guide told us a lot of animals had babies recently so there were baby giraffes, elephants, hyenas, and zebras! #Krugeradventuresafari #safari #kruger

Cute Lodge, AMAZING Animals
We visited the Inverdoorn Game Lodge, located 3 hours outside of Cape Town. The property is small but offers lovely rooms and mini chalets for guests. The rooms was comfortable and exactly what we needed. The food is cooked daily and offers a variety of food that represents the various cultural and ethnic groups of the Western Cape. The highlight of our trip we’re the game drives in the morning and evenings. We were able to see cheetahs, lions, elephants, rhinos, springbok, and so much more. Many of these animals are in the process of being rehabilitated for release into the wile. Conservation and respect for nature is a core tenant to this wonderful lodge. Our game driver, Kevin, was the highlight for us. He was super knowledgeable about the animals and shared many insights into the conservation process. #safari #Inverdoorn #westerncape
SOoo Many animals up close 🙉🦓 Hangzhou
📍Hangzhou Safari Park, agreat combination of Zoo/safari 1.5 hours east of Hangzhou. Metro line 6 will take you to nearest station Yinhu, from here you can get bus 314 or walk 15 minutes.
You can get sooo close to many different animals 🤓🤩
🎟 220 entrance fee, encludes all areas of the park, the safari train🚂, most of the rides in the theme park 🎡🎠 as well as the Animal show in the Happy theater🎪. A great day out with or without children's😀 many different animals 🐒🐗🐍🦈🐫🦒🦍🦔 and in good care and conditions compared to other zoos I have visited. the visit takes around 3-4 hours. I would recommend doing the Safari part in the park's train🚂 rather than your own vehicle as the keepers know the times the trains will approach and lure the animals out with food so you can see them a little closer 😋🍏🤓. You can also rent a little car to make your way round the park for 200-300RMB, You MUST have a Chinese driving license with you to rent one. There is plenty of food and drink places so you can rest and recharge🍔🍜🍧. Don't miss the Panda enclosure 🐼 the earlier you visit these wonderful guys the better chance you have of seeing them up and about.#summervacation #china #hangzhou #zoo #safari

House of rescued animals@ Safari Lagoi Bintan
#bintan
We stopped by Safari Lagoi Bintan, a wildlife and safari park which houses rescued and endangered animals, on our way from our hotel to BBT ferry terminal. The residents in the animal sanctuary include orangutan, sun bears, elephants, kodomo dragons, crocodiles, eagles and many more. These animals are mainly rescued from illegal pet trade and judged to be incapable of survival if released back in the wild.
As most attractions are located outdoors without shelter so it's better to bring umbrellas and apply lots of sunscreen!
Location:
Baru City, Teluk Sebong, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands 29152, Indonesia

Jungle Walk at Chitwan Safari 🐾🐅🐘🐆
Chitwan Safari
This was an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend the jungle walk .🐾
Starting at 8am and trekking through vast jungle until 5:30pm ( as the park closes at 6).
I encountered wild rhinos having a mud bath ! Monkeys flying through trees and spotted dear hurdling through the jungles of Chitwan . The atmosphere was breathtaking. Reeds higher then your head and trees towering into the sky as far as the eye can see .Termite mounds as high as 6 feet ! Unfortunately I didn’t see the tiger in the 2 days I was there , however there were many fresh tracks , So they were close by .. 🐅 Maybe best I didn’t startle him 😆
many different breeds of exotic birds to see , make sure to bring your binoculars!
Five star review from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#Chitwan #safari - 🐘🐆🐅🦏🐊
A safari journey on wheels
#newyearadventure
We are really pleased to be here, and it's encouraging to see how the animals are cared for and maintained.
It's a fantastic safari adventure experience.
Visit an animal kingdom kindergarten to get up close and personal with the infant animals and see the cutest pandas in action.
A safari journey on wheels is also a lot of fun and interesting!
Take note, it is more affordable to purchase a ticket in advance through Trip.com than it is at the gate.
For a view, you might also ride a cable car.

Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou
Chimelong Safari Park is located at south area of Guangzhou city. You can go there by subway (Hanxi Changlong) and then take a didi, or go directly with didi from your location in the city.
Safari on the wheels is the first thing you should try because animals will walk freely around your car. There is also gondola which connects three areas of Safari Park. So many animals to see and you can feed giraffes too. There are small shops around where you can buy souvenirs, snacks, drinks or some food. If you are lucky you will see some African dances which are really good.

Safari trip in Abu Danbi under budget
There are so many safari options in UAE, you gotta choose wisely as there are so many hidden charge for each activities.
Address - Hamdan camp Abu Danbi
Ambiance/Facilities - Sandbashing/ dunes/ quad bike/ camel riding/ BBQ restaurant/ night show
Avg. Price per Person - 100-300AED
Rating - 3/5
The safari site I took was called Hamdan camp which was like 90 mins away from Abu danbi.
You can choose self driving or have an arrangement of a hotel/home pick up and drop off from the agent. For even lower budget, you can choose to go to the meeting point and get on the bus with other people. Which ever way will take you to the site eventually.
But please bear in mind, if you wanna have a “better” not even good experience, you need to pay a lot extra. Don’t be shy to bargain with them if you wanna take any activities.
1 Sand bashing
It was like 3-5 mins even the agent said it was 10-15 mins ride. Overall experience was like 2 stars. The drive didn’t even inform you that you should fasten your seat belt and if you are ready cuz my seat belt happened to be stuck and the first 1 min I was so close to be hurt becus of the bashing up and down.
2 Camel riding
Even if they mention camel riding, it was less than 1 mins. You just sit on the camel and and then ride for 30 seconds… Of course, you can always pay for extra longer ride which will be 2-3 mins even if they said 10-15 mins.
They will try to convince you that “pics and videos are included”. But please even buy it cuz later they will ask you to pay 100AED for each picture they printed out for you.
3 Quad bike
I didn’t even try it cuz it looked like you were driving in the adult playground where is around 100 meters wide.
4 Buffet dinner
They service BBQ food but you need to wait a long time for the food. They will announce after some shows that you need to go get your food.
If you want “VIP” dinning like I did, you need to pay extra 60AED per person. But they have limited options for food. Beetroot salad was not even fresh.
Imagine everything under the heat for a whole day!
5 Shows
They have fire show and belly dance… which I thought was the best part of this trip. Performers did great job.

A close encounter with safari friends
💕This was by far the best part of my Phu Quoc getaway. It was definitely the highlight of my trip.
✨Given that this safari is the largest one in the country, no doubt that it is also the best. It has an extensive collection of species and a better environment for its inhabitants.
📌Tickets for the safari could be bought as a bundle with VinWonders Theme Park passes. The theme park and safari are in two different locations so you can either take the taxi or the electric buggies as a cheaper option.
