Discover Namibia - Camping

We were a small group of 5. The campsites were scenic with tents put up around the shade of a tree, exotic birds in the branches. The tents were roomy for 2 and you could stand up in them. The mattresses comfortable at least 2 inches thick. The facilities a t the sites were always good - hot showers and a pool but usually no Wifi. Just have to get used to low level snoring from other tents! Huge armoured crickets - we loved them.

From Desert dunes, Amazing safari's, gorgeous wildlife viewing and ultimate African sunsets - This trip is spectacular.

My trip to Namibia on the camping tour was excellent. Good pre-tour communication and friendly staff when I called. The trip ran according to the itinerary which covered all of the main areas of the country at a comfortable pace. The guide was knowledgeable, great at spotting wildlife, organised and friendly. The tents were good, the sand dunes high and the wildlife fantastic.

Two very exciting weeks discovering the varied landscapes of Namibia, flora, fauna and its peoples.

Namibia did not disappoint, it is a land of diversity, deserts, small towns, nature, animals, friendly people. Although I dislike camping, it really was the only way to do it, it felt raw as if Namibia was outside my tent. Most of the campsites were okay. There were alot of early starts and long drives but it was the only way to get to places. The stops were interesting along the way.

Namibia is a wonderful country, and in our experience full of happy people smiling! There has to be a lot of driving to see the main places, but it's worth it.

The trip is a good a mix of seeing different destinations in Namibia and finding a lot of wildlife, particular in Etosha. The route is well planned and the long drive have a few stops with some good thought on why you stop there. The optional activities in Swakopmund where good (we did the boat tour and dune bashing, which was excellent)! I would recommend adding it to the main itinerary as it was probably our best day.

This is fantastic holiday, don't hesitate to book it, this trip has varied landscapes, with the deserts in the south and national parks, with its varied wildlife in the north. There is a lot of long drives involved with this trip, up to 6 hours on some days, but that is part of the experience.

Busy holiday that introduces you to the delights of Namibia from the sand dunes to the Skeleton Coast and game drives in the national parks. We saw loads of wildlife but due to an extended rainy season the waterholes at the campsites were not remotely busy or active, and the big cats were not seen at all. However, the tour guide was fabulous, and I loved every minute of the trip. My only wish was that we had more time there!

Great trip for wildlife and desert scenery. I was wowed by the beauty of the Namib desert colours and by the wide variety of animal life we saw both in the desert and Etosha further north.

Good company, good leaders, good food, good experiences.

There are quite a lot of long drives on bumpy dusty roads but this is unavoidable with a trip that takes in so much of the country. The itinerary keeps you busy with a good mixture of culture and wildlife. Camp sites all had excellent facilities and toilets were first class. Tents were comfortable

Amazing desert sand dunes and night sky, astonishing ancient rock paintings, beautiful diverse wildlife

If you like huge landscapes and wildlife this is a must do trip. Namibia is unlike any country i have been to before and certainly felt different to other areas of Africa (im no expert!). The scale and space has to be seen to be believed and adds to the beauty - sunsets are amazing. We went towards the end of the dry season and this meant that animals were gathering at the waterhole. We were lucky enough to see herds of elephants and several rhino ... not to forget giraffes, oryx, gazelle, hyenas and many many more. We were on the camping trip and Ronney and Jonas done an amazing job to set up camp and take it down ... we tried to help but they are so good at it I think we slowed them up. They were fantastic guides, great ambassadors for the country and Jonas cooked food on a fire that i couldnt in a fully equipped kitchen. This is our fourth trip with Exodus and I will certainly be back for more.

A very busy schedule, with lots of early starts, lots of dust and sand and quite a bit of travel over rough roads. But, it was all worth it. I would do it again. You see a wide variety of landscape and wildlife that could not be encountered any other way in two weeks.

The crew were fantastic. Group leader Ronney Kavari was a great leader, explaining the plans for each day and telling us what to expect with plenty of local tips. He was an exceptional spotter of wildlife and we saw large numbers of a huge variety of animals and birds. He was also very knowledgeable about the animals, birds and plants as well as the country. There was plenty of opportunities to see and photograph. Benson was the main driver and Jonas the main cook and the food was very good. All the crew were very friendly with a good sense of humour. The tents went up and came down very efficiently. The optional trips were also good-at least the ones we did: Visit to the Township was very interesting and enjoyable but quite thought provoking as well. We also went on the flight over the desert and although we enjoyed it, it was quite long and expensive and there was no commentary and the plane was very old-I don't think we would recommend this at the price. We would thoroughly recommend this trip, esp with the crew we had!

Certainly the way to see Namibia - early starts frequently and rough roads but all fades into significance when put into perspective. If your're considering it, but are uncertain, just book it and enjoy.

Very good ,well organised holiday. Enjoyed the hotel and camping food . No day was boring.

Whilst the driving at times becomes slightly tiresome the sights and nature where fantastic. The group were wonderful and the guide Ben was extremely informative.

My husband and I have never done a trip like this and we have never camped before. We loved it. The tour is interesting and varied. The walk in the dessert was spectacular, climbing the Dune was quite hard, but watching the sun rise made the climb worth every step. Eating supper round a camp fire was really nice and sociable and the food was really good. We are vegetarian and we were well looked after. We saw hundreds of animals: giraffe, rhino (and a baby rhino), lions, elephants and their babies, springbok, zebra, ostrich, fabulous birds, warthogs, hyena, jackal, many types of deer and antelope, baboons... We wish we could do it all over again.

If you haven't been to Namibia and you like wildlife and stunning landscapes - book now! Our trip was absolutely amazing, and so much more varied than I thought it would be. I must thank our two local guides on the trip, as without them we would not have seen half the wonders we did. They were knowledgeable, helpful and unfailingly cheerful, which made our visit so much more enjoyable.

What a fantastic trip in an amazing country! This is my eighth Exodus adventure in the last 6 years, and again, I wasn’t disappointed. From start to finish it was an exemplary journey. The trip itself was very comprehensive, from walking through a gorge at sunset to climbing a sand dune at sunrise; to dolphin watching in the morning and quad biking in the dunes in the afternoon. Both the wildlife viewing and the variation in geomorphology were outstanding across this beautiful county.

My brother asked me (before the trip) "what's there". I mentioned desert and sand dunes and Etosha and wildlife and long journeys, but although I've been to Africa a number of times I was still unprepared for the vastness of the Namib desert, the beauty of the light on the dunes at dawn, the colours, the history, the expanse of Etosha, etc. What there was NOT was also memorable: no light pollution so magical starry skies and beautiful sunsets; hardly any traffic on long straight roads; very few people. Those we did meet in the few towns, in the tiny hamlets and on the campsites were all very pleasant and helpful.

Namibia is a county diverse in its landscapes and wildlife. This trip lets you see it all - including chilly star filled desert nights, high dunes at sunrise, varied game drives and a range of optional activities to cater for every taste. Namibia has everything - and does not mind sharing!

A great trip showing the best of Namibia in just 2 weeks. The landscape is amazing and so different in each location. The animals are abundant and everywhere - watching at the camp waterholes is just brilliant - not knowing what might arrive next. Everyday is different and everything spectacular.

A brilliant trip. So much diversity, so many animals, this is right up there as one of the trips I am recommending!

Our trip to Namibia was a truly diverse experience. It is a country that is not yet over-exposed to tourism. The safari element of the trip pretty much guarantees a huge diversity of wildlife (we went during a season where there is not a huge amount of wildlife around and still saw plenty!), both animals and birds. Outside of the safari both the desert elements and the stay in Swakopmund amazed us - both very different. Finally, whilst it took a few days to get used to camping we're glad we did the trip this way, as it really brought the group and the support staff closer together than we've experienced on other trips.

A journey that takes one through mountain landscapes to gigantic sand dunes and then on to one of Africa's best game parks. A photographer's delight!

This trip was excellent value for money. We saw a lot of Namibia, the game park was brilliant and our guides were first class. If you want a trip to get a good snapshot of Namibia this will easily meet your needs.

Discover Namibia camping was great to do over Christmas. We saw diverse wildlife and landscapes with unexpected early rains and a sandstorm but this added to the experience!

This was our first camping tour and we really enjoyed the camping aspect of this trip. Jonas and Happy looked after us superbly, making sure that the tents were set up and cooking was underway each evening. The toilet and shower facilities were fine and the tents were big enough for us to have space between us for our big bags and room at the top or bottom for daypacks etc. This trip covers a lot of ground and the vehicle and roads do not always make for a comfortable journey. However, the route and schedule compare favourably with other options and the fact that it is " full service " camping helps a lot. We were very lucky with the composition of the group. Everyone got on and looked out for each other and the spirit of co-operation made the trip most enjoyable.

A great trip. Very varied landscapes and great wildlife viewing.

I travelled to Namibia in the dry season (October). The weather was very, very hot on a couple of days the temp reached 100+. The schedule was gruelling - up 05:00/06:00 every morning but I enjoyed every minute of it. Every day brought a new experience. There were a couple of long travel days but the truck was reasonably comfortable, stocked with cold drinks and guide books plus plenty of photo/toiler stops along the way.

I've always heard great things about Namibia and it didn't disappoint, so much to see and do. Very friendly people, great weather and plenty of wildlife!

This trip exceeded our expectations. The itinerary provided a much more varied experience than many 'safari' trips - from sand dunes in Sossusvlei to safari in Etosha via dolphins and seals in Swakopmund, there was something for everyone!

I've done many group trips as well as a lot of independent travel but this was simply one of my best travel experiences. A fantastic group and wonderful leader team obviously helped but even without those this is an amazing country with spectacular vistas, ever surprising and wonderful wildlife and all under the bluest of blue skies. There is some amazing variety from the dry salt pans to the mountainous shifting dunes, huge landscapes that reach past the horizon, the strange charm of the coast and Swakopmund, the ever smiling people, the ease of travel, the facilities at the campsites and the wildlife...seeing the waterhole in the Etosha camp for the first time was a hairs on the back of the neck moment.

My brother asked me (before the trip) "what's there?".

A diverse experience that encompasses all and touches every sense one has. The fact that the Namibian dessert can support such a vast array of wildlife, still never ceases to amaze us. Go for it………it's a life time opportunity that you won't regret.

A great trip showing the best of Namibia in just 2 weeks. The landscape is amazing and so different in each location. The animals are abundant and everywhere - watching at the camp waterholes is just brilliant - not knowing what might arrive next. Everyday is different and everything spectacular.

This is a trip which has its highs and lows (and not exclusively in a Cessna flying over the Namib desert).

An excellent holiday that far exceeded our expectations

An amazing trip in a truly incredible country.  The scenery was varied but uniformly beautiful and the Namibian people were without exception friendly and welcoming.  The trip itself was a really good mix of different experiences from climbing dune 45 to watch the sunrise; to sandboarding at Swakopmund (not for the faint hearted!); to the unforgettable wildlife viewing at Etosha's many waterholes.  Namibia would be the perfect destination for the first time visitor to Africa and is defenitely a country I will be visiting again in the future.

A fantastic trip for anyone wanting to gain a flavour of Nambia, from its stunning desert landscapes, to cafes on the coast, game viewing in Etosha and geological curiosities en route. I've done 8 exodus trips in the past and this is right up there!

Really excellent tour of a fascinating country for people, history and wildlife. Very different from East Africa in all respects so well worth exploring if you are used to safari in Kenya, Uganda etc.

A superb trip covering nearly all the places you could possibly want to visit in one trip to Namibia.  The Namibians were really friendly and cheerful and the guiding of the tour and group was excellent, made it even better.  The scenery, landscape and animals were brilliant.

A fantastic trip. So much to do and see in one country. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent introduction to exodus, would certainly use them again! Enough variety to keep you occupied. Excellent tour guide/driver & wonderful food served straight from the fireside. Several hours of driving gave a wonderful overview of the country. Camping made the whole experience natural and magical.  

A good all round trip covering a large part of Namibia. The waterholes at Etosha mean that animals congregate there during the dry season so viewing them there is easy if that is what you want; Swakopmund provides opportunity for other activities.

It was a very varied tour, during which we experienced very versatile landscapes, ranging from desert to the coast, plateaus and gorges. We saw lots of wild life during these days, which culminated in 3 days in Etosha National Park. Definitely worth it and highly recommendable.

An excellent trip providing a snapshot of all the wonderful things Namibia has to offer. My expectations were exceeded on a daily basis and I ran out of words to describe the wonderful places, people and animals that were all part of this holiday.

A journey that takes one through mountain landscapes to gigantic sand dunes and then on to one of Africa's best game parks. A photographer's delight!
