Namibia Small Group Trips

This trip around all of Namibia was everything I expected and more. The landscape, people, and wildlife is awe-inspiring! There were so many times my jaw dropped at the beauty. The huge spaces, the dunes, the ocean, the desert, and pan - all of it was wonderful. The rooms are fine, and some are excellent. Many meals are included, which is helpful. There was a lot of driving, but it did not bother me because the landscape was interesting. The Landcruiser is comfortable, with the roof popping up for wildlife viewing and the AC/heating is good. Uakotaka Kastro was an excellent, experienced guide who helped the trip run smoothly. I recommend that Explore please add curtains or shades to the vehicle for comfort. It can turn into a greenhouse very quickly on the sunny side of the Landcruiser!

Great trip with very good leaders in Weston, Gift and Dean. Well organised and informative. It can be hard work breaking camp most mornings, often quite early starts, and then setting up each evening, often at sunset. Client participation essential to make it all work. Food simple yet sustaining with good variety. Surprised the vehicle was not airconditioned as at times very hot.

I really enjoyed getting to see all the animals you usually only see in books or Disney movies: Lions, meerkats, elephants, mongoose... the list goes forever. As if this wasn't enough, the Namibian landscape is varied and impressive with sand dunes, mountains and the ocean. This trip takes you to all of these, and offers unforgettable adventures, such as tracking rhinos on foot or flying over the desert in a helicopter! The pace of this trip is gentle enough that you will get some R&R in besides all the action, but is never boring - how could it be when there's so much to see and do?

Our leader Urlich Uakotoka Castro was superb in every possible way. The itinerary was perfect allowing us to enjoy such varied landscapes and the wonderful wildlife The accommodation was excellent.

Fabulous itinerary. Our guide Ckasteo was fabulous. His local knowledge and ability with languages made the entire trip extra special. The safari truck was comfortable and the perfect size to ensure we could fo places that larger cehicles may not be able to. Accommodation was very good and everyone we met was friendly and accommodating.

What an amazing trip! Our tour guide was truly exceptional, he looked after us 24/7 and ensured that we were all safe and well cared for. He also had a great sense of humour! Nothing was too much trouble for him. Great accommodation and food. Would highly recommend visiting Namibia, beautiful country where all the locals made us feel very welcome. Loved the change of scene from desert to coast to safari parks, we saw all the animals and wildlife that we were hoping for.
