Do I need to take Malaria precautions?
Malaria is a risk in some parts of Namibia, not so much in the Damaraland area. We still recommend you fill your malaria prescription before you leave and take enough with you for the entire length of your trip. Follow your doctor's instructions for taking the pills; some need to be started before you leave.
Ames travel guide
We believe in education through experience and we believe that Africa’s wildlife and nature will help to re-connect to nature.
There is not a shortage of travel guides, but through AMES we want to provide you with a selected unique perspective on experiences and locations that transport the above idea. Also, over the years, we have developed a network of trusted partners that provide offers at preferred rates or sometimes packages that are not even available “on the market”. We have a focus on wildlife, but In the following long list we also include spots we just generally really like as well as relevant information for every traveler in Africa.
Namibia
Namibia - also called the land of red silence - is a country full of contrasts. Visitors are offered a dazzling light and landscape panorama with unique natural worlds, whimsical tree, and species-rich animal worlds, for example in Etosha National Park, the oldest desert in the world where the high dunes end directly in the sea. Look forward to unforgettable encounters with the wilderness of Namibia!
