Namibia Wildlife safaris and game drives Trips

I missed my connecting flight to Windhoek and both local tour company and Explore main office reassured me I’d be looked after which I was. The tour guide and driver was a knowledgeable, capable and really lovely person. She absolutely made this trip unforgettable- her recommendations for our day off in Walvis Bay ( whale watching and 4x4 sand dune trip) were spot on and I’d recommend anyone to do these. The itinerary is full on but you don’t go all that way to sit beside a pool. Everyone who followed my trip were blown away by the diversity and quality of my videos and photos (all of which were taken on an IPhone 16). A small group of 10 was ideal - all like minded people with a sense of adventure.

Brilliant experience led by an excellent driver/guide, who was very pleased to share her information and love of her country. Deadvlei, Sossusvlei, Wolvis Bay Etosha National Park full of surprises. Daily news was posted on WhatsApp site, worked well when internet was available, and very useful for packing and preparing for the day ahead. Some days involved a lot of travelling but I enjoyed the 2 nighters with activities. September was perfect weather wise and no need for malaria tablets. Group of 10 was great, truck was our purpose built vehicle and loved raising the roof when waiting patiently at waterholes. Wonderful trip.

I can’t put into words how incredible the Southern Africa safari was. From start to finish, it was better than I could have expected. Seeing the big 5 in their natural habitat was a highlight. Every game drive brought something new and unforgettable, the beauty of the landscapes and all of the wildlife sightings made every moment feel surreal. Jesse the trip manager made the trip what it was, so knowledgeable, organised, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and culture. He took care of every detail, so we could completely enjoy the journey. From sharing interesting facts and stories during long drives to accomodating everyone’s needs made the whole adventure seamless and special. Cant thank the time and effort he put into this trip enough. The most unexpected gift of this safari was the incredible group of fellow travelers I met along the way. Sharing these weeks with such amazing people, now lifelong friends, was something I never saw coming, but will forever treasure. While i truly enjoyed the overall safari experience and appreciated the efforts of the team, i felt that a few of the game drives, given their significance to the experience, would have been better included as part of the main package rather than offered as optional add-ons. Including them upfront would have provided a more seamless and complete safari experience.

Fantastic leader, so helpful and patient.....informative about Namibia and gave us a very good insight into the country's diverse wildlife and culture. Excellent communication skills and so helpful, made my holiday such a pleasure. I would recommend this holiday to anyone...it was an experience of a life time

A wonderful experience in every way and everything I was hoping for - African animals, large and small (I enjoyed the insect life as well as the big game!) and dramatic desert landscapes with the enormous red dunes. Ckastro was an outstanding Tour Leader and great fun to be with - he worked very hard for us all as he was driving the truck as well as leading the tour. Food everywhere was excellent and as a craft beer enthusiast, I was pleased to try some excellent locally brewed ales from microbreweries in Swakopmund. Thoroughly recommended.

Kastro our guide lwas excellent. He handled every eventuality with aplomb and style. He was endless patient with his sometimes wayward and cluless charges. A font of knowledge on every topic: botany, animals, history, politics. He was so proud of Namibia, rightly so, that his enthusiasm was contagious.
