Get To Know The The Sprit Of Namibia

Many people visiting Namibia would relish the opportunity to meet more of the local people and find out about the fascinating historical and cultural background to this country. Why not combine Namibia’s top destinations with some time spent getting to know the Namibian Culture including the Himba and San Bushman people? There are many NACOBTA camps and community projects which can be visited on a Namibia selfdrive holiday and we are happy to recommend a safari which includes these unique experiences.

Tourism in Namibia is one of the fastest growing sectors within the Namibian economy and more and more people are jumping on the bandwagon to get a piece of the pie. Notably local communities are getting seriously involved with tourism ventures realizing that they have something unique to offer that others want to see and learn more about.

NACOBTA Namibia Community Based Tourism Association is instrumental in helping along the efforts of local communities and conservancies to establish these projects. The main emphasis is to offer tourists an insight into the various ethnic groups cultures that make up Namibia.

One of these community projects is the Nakambale Museum and Rest camp. The Museum is housed in an old Finnish mission that was built in the late 19th century at Olukonda. The Museum traces back the beginning and development of the Finnish and Rhenish missionary work as well as that of the Ovambo culture. On tour your guide will explain to you the many different photos exhibits and text present in the museum. The tour also includes a visit of the old mission church which is now a national monument. The traditional village next door to the Museum depicts a day in the life of the Ovambo people their rituals and traditions.

For a minimal fee you can even spend a night in one of these traditional huts or alternatively make use of the nearby campsite and homestead. The nearby small shop offers craft items from the area.

This unique cultural encounter can easily be incorporated with a visit to the wildlife rich Etosha National Park. With the new ‘King Nehale’ gate open it providing excess to the north of Namibia and connects with the B1 leading to Ondangwa. Olukonda and the Museum are just 10 km south of Ondangwa and are easily accessible from the tar road.

If you are staying at Namutoni or one of the private lodges near to the ‘Von Lindequist’ gate this makes for a nice day excursion. Start your day off with an early morning drive to the waterholes ‘Groot Okevi’ and/ or ‘Andoni’ before heading through the ‘King Nehale’ gate and onto the Nakambale Museum. After your visit of the Museum and the traditional village you might like to stay for a traditional meal by pre arrangement only before returning back to Etosha.

Time permitting you can travel back the same way you came enjoying some further game viewing in the late afternoon. Alternatively you take the B1 around Etosha and back to your overnight stay.

Make your next visit to Namibia one of wildlife and culture!

Why To Rent A Condo While Vacationing In Waikiki Versus Staying At A Hotel

If you plan on taking a vacation to Hawaii have you considered condo rentals or vacation rentals instead of paying high prices for the impersonal sterile atmosphere that most hotels have? Using vacation rentals including condo rentals for your Hawaiian vacation just makes sense when you examine all the aspects and benefits. You will get more privacy personal surroundings all the amenities as home and much more. Plus the added benefit of all this situated right in the heart of a tropical paradise.

The Hawaii islands are one of the most exquisite vacation spots in the entire world and a vacation here is a dream come true for many. Staying in a hotel may seem convenient but when you look at all of the facts it is not. There are neighbors right on the other side of what may be a paper thin wall so anything you say or do may be overheard. A motel room is small and usually only contains a bed or two maybe a small table and a couple of chairs and a dresser and television if you are lucky. A suite price will depend on the specific hotel but these may cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars a night. In comparison condo rentals and vacation rentals allow you to have an entire condo or home at your disposal for a lot less.

A vacation rental can offer seclusion and privacy that you just can not get at almost any hotel. This is great for anyone on vacation and especially couples on a romantic getaway or honeymoon. What better way to enjoy the glorious Hawaiian sunset or sunrise than from the balcony of your very own condo rental with all the privacy and quiet that you could ask for? A vacation is a time of relaxation and this can be hard to do when the couple in the next room over is having a screaming fight or the guy across the hall is drunk and you can hear him getting sick. These things can ruin a vacation and your mood. Instead find a great place using condo rentals and vacation rentals. You are sure to get a vacation experience that you enjoy one that is unforgettable.

Condo rentals and vacation rentals in Hawaii can be found almost everywhere on all the islands. Whether you want to be near the ocean see the Kilauea volcano from your rental residence or just have a secluded home or apartment where you will not be bothered during your vacation you can find it on these tropical islands. Enjoy the lush tropical foliage the exquisite wildlife and marine animals and all the beauty you can take on your visit to the islands. Hawaii is a paradise and finding great condo rentals and vacation rentals can help you relax and enjoy your vacation even more without any problems or distractions. Renting a home or condo for your Hawaii vacation makes much better sense than staying in a hotel for many reasons including a lower cost and more privacy.
