Namibia Holidays
Sparse desert landscapes contrast with oasis towns and striking
coastline to create an epic backdrop on a Namibia train
holiday. Experience luxury rail travel aboard the famous Pride
of Africa and keep your eyes peeled for the country's famous
wildlife which includes giraffes, rhinos, elephants, lions,
leopards and cheetahs. The spectacular sand dunes of
Sossusvlei are the highest in the world and reach heights of
300m. During sunrise the dunes continually change colour
creating truly striking images, which are unmissable on any Namibia
train holiday. There are also many historic sights including
the numerous shipwrecks along the Skeleton Coast and the former
mining town of Kolmanskop.
The summer months (February - November) are the wettest in
Namibia, although average rainfall throughout the year is
low. Weather can be extreme (particularly in Southern Namibia)
during this time - hot during the day and cold at night, so be sure
to pack many layers of clothing for your Namibia train
holiday.
The Namibian Dollar is fixed to the South African Rand and both
are widely accepted throughout the country. If your train tour
through Namibia visits other South African countries it may be more
convenient to only exchange your money into the South African Rand,
which can be used during other parts of your Namibia Train holiday.
