    Frequently asked questions

    Will there be “free” time?

    Yes, there are deliberate times in the agenda to allow for flexible and individual planning.

    Is there internet and cellphone reception? 

    There is reception - though it is weak and partially unreliable. There is good wifi in the camp, though it is depended on electricity and there has been outages in the past. EHRA: During our time in the desert there will be NO signal.

    Can you arrive later or leave earlier? 

    No, as this is a 10 days trip only, we have fixed dates.

    What equipment is needed?

    We will share a detailed packing recommendation list ahead of your journey.

    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!
