YOUR FAMILY SAFARI HOLIDAYS IN NAMIBIABIA

When planning to visit KAMBAKU with your children, we are here to assist you every step of the way. Let us give you an overview of how the planning process for your Namibia family holiday unfolds, right up to your visit:

FROM BOOKING TO DEPARTURE

• Begin by selecting suitable travel dates.
• Decide whether a lodge holiday, with its diverse activities and experiences, meets your dream holiday expectations or if you would like to complement your stay with one of our guided Namibia tours.
• Once you have a clear idea of your preferences for your family safari holidays, check with Marcus, our Lodge Manager, about the availability of rooms in our lodge or tents in the camp. You can use our non-binding booking form to specify experiences that should be part of your Namibia family holiday (e.g., a day trip, a bush camp adventure, horseback safaris, a tour to meet the big five etc.). Please also let us know if you require an airport transfer.
• Concurrently, search for suitable flight connections for your family and coordinate the flight dates with Marcus.
• For both your KAMBAKU holiday booking and flight booking, make sure to purchase a reliable travel cancellation insurance and international travel health insurance for your family.
• After your booking, we will assist you with your travel preparations, such as providing information on entry requirements for kids, weather conditions, visa requirements, recommended vaccinations, payment options (credit cards must be activated for Africa), and more.

AT THE AIRPORT AND DURING THE FLIGHT

• Please follow your airline's guidelines. Often, passengers with children are asked to check in three hours prior departure.
• Keep all necessary documents for traveling with children in an international format or with a certified English translation readily available.
• Pack all electronic devices in your hand luggage.
• Bring toys for the flight and a small pillow.
• Ensure children stay hydrated during the flight. Have a drinking bottle and encourage your kids to drink during the descent and landing (this helps with ear pressure equalization).
• If you have a layover in Cape Town or Johannesburg, South Africa, remember that duty-free purchases may need to be declared or cannot be brought on board the flight to Windhoek.

AT WINDHOEK AIRPORT & ARRIVAL AT KAMBAKU

• Your family safari holiday in Namibia begins at Hosea Kutako International Airport. After your flight, our transfer service will welcome you in the arrival hall and safely drive you to KAMBAKU.
• If you enter without Namibian Dollars (N$), you can withdraw cash from an ATM in the arrival hall using your credit card.
• If you are hungry, a small airport café in the arrivals area offers snacks, drinks, and coffee. You can also stock up on some provisions for the drive to KAMBAKU.
• The drive to KAMBAKU takes approximately 4 hours. There will be a break at a rest stop halfway.
• Upon arrival in the late morning, we welcome you at KAMBAKU, show you your room and the lodges facilities, helping you quickly get oriented.
• After freshening up and settling in, lunch is served in the outdoor kitchen in the lodge garden – and you can start your family safari holiday!
• In the afternoon, you can join our guides for a first safari drive, observe animals, and enjoy a sundowner drink with a view on the Wartenberg Plateau.

DEPARTURE FROM KAMBAKU

• After your stay at KAMBAKU, our transfer service will ensure you reach the airport in Windhoek on time.
• If you have a night flight, you can usually participate in the early morning programme and have lunch before departure.
• For a day flight, we may need to transfer you to Windhoek the evening before. We can help you choose a hotel for the night and book a taxi to the airport (the airport is about 45 minutes from Windhoek).

If you are combining your KAMBAKU holiday with a guided tour through Namibia, your holiday plan may differ slightly from this example. Tours to the desert and coast can start directly from Windhoek and end at KAMBAKU, while others begin after a few days at the lodge and conclude at the airport.

^{An Important Note
At KAMBAKU, conservation is at the heart of our ethos. To preserve our wildlife populations, we practice sustainable hunting as part of our comprehensive wildlife management programme. Protecting our wildlife is a crucial commitment in a desert country, and we have implemented numerous measures over the years to ensure their well-being. Managing game populations and monitoring wildlife are key aspects of our conservation efforts. Guests are welcome to support us in these initiatives under the expert guidance of our professional gamekeepers and hunters. Thus, we offer tailored hunting safaris in Namibia that cater to both seasoned hunters and novice explorers. In the midst of the savannah, our professional hunters will guide you in pursuit of Namibian plains game or trophy species, ensuring an unforgettable experience in the wilds of Africa.
