Namibia Tours in Summer

The whole trip was fantastic! the first 2 weeks with *personal info removed by Feefo* were great! super knowledgeable about the animals and overall a fun guy. Often in Namibia was wonderful and very personable with our small group!

There is of course some ruggedness to be found in the accommodation, but that's a part of the charm of Southern Africa! If you're after some stunning landscapes, amazing wildlife sightings, and fun yet professional guides, then this trip will tick all your boxes!

Incredible experiences with wild life and great trip overall! Would highly recommend if you like animals, great scenery and you want to know more about the local culture in Botswana and Namibia.

The trip of a Lifetime! If you're looking for a once in a lifetime adventure, the Contiki Southern African Safari is it. This tour takes you through the heart of South Africa, Zimbabwe/Zambia, Botswana, and Namibia, showcasing some of the most breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences Africa has to offer. Every country on the journey brings something unique from the vibrant cultures to the stunning natural beauty and wildlife encounters that truly leave you speechless. Each day was an adventure of its own. Whether it was tracking the Big Five on safari drives in National Parks, standing in awe before the mighty Victoria Falls, cruising the Chobe River while elephants played on the shore, or exploring the vast dunes and star-filled skies of Namibia’s Namib Desert, the variety of experiences was nothing short of magic. Botswana's pristine wilderness and the sheer abundance of animals created some of the most intimate and powerful nature moments of the entire trip. It's a place where time seems to pause and the natural world completely envelopes you. Truly unforgettable. The trip managers and local guides were outstanding. Their passion, deep knowledge of the region, and warm personalities made every moment more meaningful. They weren’t just guides they felt like part of the travel family, always ready to share stories, answer questions, and ensure we were getting the most out of every stop. Some highlights: * Game drives that brought us up close to lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, wild dogs and more. A real-life National Geographic experience. * Visiting Victoria Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world hearing the roar, feeling the mist, and watching rainbows arc across the gorge was unforgettable. * The surreal beauty of Namibia, with its otherworldly landscapes and unforgettable sunsets. * The serenity and raw beauty of Botswana’s wilderness, with unforgettable river cruises and wildlife moments. * Engaging with local communities, learning about different cultures and histories across Southern Africa. The sights were breathtaking, the moments magical, and the memories unforgettable. I cannot recommend this trip enough for anyone with a sense of adventure and a love of nature, culture, and exploration. Contiki absolutely nailed it, this was not just a holiday, it was an experience that will stay with me forever.

Overall I believe this trip was absolutely worth the money. Botswana was incredibly underrated. Maybe the best animal sightings and experiences of 2 months traveling Africa. Namibia was STUNNING. It was a smaller group but I can’t understand why. Amazing picturesque landscapes, adventures and fun safaris. Across the board it was a great trip and I highly recommend.

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!
