Land of beauty and adventure
Our 3-week trip to Namibia, organized by Lilly from Great Explorations Namibia, was an unforgettable experience that we would highly recommend to anyone with a love for adventure.
We contacted Lilly several months in advance, and she proved to be an outstanding organizer. Her first-hand knowledge of Namibia was invaluable in setting up a holiday for success
She listened to our wishes and put together a tailor-made package that exceeded our expectations
The accommodations Lilly booked for us, which included both campsites and lodges, were excellent. The food at most places we stayed was outstanding, and the accommodations were wonderful throughout the trip
Namibia's landscapes are breathtaking, with enormous sand dunes, towering mountain ranges, awesome canyons, and fascinating wildlife
We were able to experience incredibly diverse landscapes and locations
The wildlife of Namibia is composed of its flora and fauna, including a wealth of small mammals.
We were particularly thrilled to see the desert-adapted elephants striding along the dusty earth.
Lilly's support was invaluable throughout the trip. When we faced challenges, such as a cancelled flight, she helped us determine what to do around potentially rearranging the tour schedule, with good cheer and humour
Her proactive approach and efficiency in dealing with all our requests were highly appreciated
In conclusion, our trip to Namibia was a wonderful experience. The landscapes were stunning, the wildlife was abundant, and the people were kind and helpful. Lilly's organization and support made the trip smooth and enjoyable. We will definitely contact her again for a future trip to Africa. Well done, Lilly!

Beautiful country
I enjoyed 10N/11D in Namibia after a safari in Tanzania so I was looking for more landscape than animals.
The dunes were magical. The rocks were enchanting.
The animals in Etosha National Park did disappoint but maybe were just weren't lucky.
The lodges we stayed in were hit and miss. Loved some. Hated others like Hobarte.
Beautiful country but I won't be back.

Our 11 day route in Namibia revealed stunning variety
My husband, son and his wife recently completed an 11-day self-drive Safari in Namibia. Our route took us to Sesriem, Swakopmund, the Skeleton Coast and Damaraland, and finally Etosha national Park. We stayed in beautiful lodges, several and national parks, all along the way.
We began the trip with the other worldly landscapes of Sossusvilei, where we climbed the dunes and marveled at scenery we have never seen before. The lodge was comfortable and the food was good. It was a wonderful introduction to Namibia. From there we took the terrible road through Solitaire up to Swakopmund but our Toyota fortuna was up to the task and we arrived in good time and good shape. In Swakopmund, we did two different tours. My husband and I did a 4x4 dune tour in Sandwich Harbor- more stunning scenery - and my son and his wife did a kayak trip with seals. Both were really enjoyable.
From there, we drove north into Skeleton Coast national Park, stopping at the Cape Cross seal colony. That was a highlight. I've seen many seals in my life, but not so many so close.
Our afternoon drive to Palmwag was a little nerve-wracking because of the sand storm covering the highway, We were rewarded for our journey with a very comfortable two nights at Etendeka Mountain Camp. We didn't see much wildlife but our guide made our hike and game drive so interesting, we enjoyed it thoroughly. This is completely different scenery from any place we had been so far. I have never seen so many stars in my life. The wonderful guides and incredible skies were real highlights of this part of our trip. I felt immersed in Namibia.
From here we drove to Etosha, which for us seem like saving the best for last, despite loving every bit of it so far. Our first night we stayed in Okaujueo. We loved our chalet, had a wonderful dinner and sunset and sunrise at the water hole were amazing. I would definitely stay here at least one night. We were only able to get one night so moved on to halali, also a government place within the park. This was not as nice, but it was fine and the water hole was gorgeous. Gorgeous. Every day we did self-game drives and saw more wildlife than we could have imagined. We stayed outside the park in a luxury villa for our last two nights and did a game drive with them that was a amazing. Our guide seem to have a sense about where the lions, leopards, and hyenas having dinner were and so we were able to add those to our list.
We all think Namibia has so much variety of activities and landscapes, that it makes a perfect vacation destination.

A huge and wonderful experience … !
We loved Namibia. We did an 11-day self-drive tour booked through Dunas Safari who did us proud. Namibia is a huge country and long distances between stops but Dunas paced it beautifully. We loved the dramatic countryside and the beautiful people and the sunsets . And the wildlife was amazing; we saw everything except for the Leopard … ! Highlights were Sossusvlei and Etosha and the two nights we spent at Spitzkoppen Lodge were magic. We were in Namibia for only 11 days and we realised that we only just scratched the surface. We would love to come back and do more. Thank you, Dunas and thank you, Namibia … !

Last Minute Trip
Originally booked on another safari they at the last minute was canceled. I already had the flight and decided to still go to Namibia. The 9 days I spent in Namibia were the best vacation EVER! While we spent two days in each location we never felt rushed or in a hurry. Sleeping in tents up north to in a modern hotel was all very special. You see so many animals, you really will get tired of taking pictures and just take in the moment! Everyday was an adventure. The people were incredible to get to meet. If you want to get away, Namibia is the place. Food and drinks are plentiful and compared to the USA, very economical. So amazing, we already booking another trip.

Beautiful country with nice nature, friendly people and amazing wildlife! Had a three days tour with Norman from Oshisli Tours. Great time in Etosha! We have seen them all. Weather in June was perfect for travelling. Can be recommended to 100%. I will come again!
