a place where it feels evolution of the earth
As my first trip to Namibia I chose to visit Namib Naukluft National Park and Swakopmund for four days tour, organized and accompanied by a tour operator, the People's Tour & Safaris. I commend all details of the tour operator, especially our tour guide's heartful support, that made my travel safe, pleasant and unforgettable, first of all. Secondly, after having known the Namib Naukluft National Park, I have got a sense of being at present moment on the earth that has been transforming for millions years and it has felt so peace. Not only visiting the Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and Sesiriem canyon but also passing through the montane area to Swakopmund, the Atlantic Ocean coast, I could grasp how the Namibian nature has been respected and conserved. Standing on the beach in Swakopmund and looking at the Atlantic, I did imagine how courageous then the people were to search for unknown. I am very happy and lucky to get to know Namibia and would like to visit again to explore more of the vast country, next time about the Namibian people.

A phographer’s dream - landscapes, animals, and wonderful people in abundance.
I wax part of a small group of keen amateur photographers on a self drive camping trip starting at Fish River Canyon and then travelling North via Sesriem, The Dedvlei desert , sand dunes and on to Twfelfontein where the absolute , hands down , best ever experience was had with Twyfelfontein Desert Elephand Drives and Safari. The campsite is in a great location and had the newest and cleanest shower facilities, of the trip. 4x4 safari adapted vehicles were used to drive us along sandy river beds profuse with flowers and views of hills in the distance. Charles and his small team have an intimate knowledge of the elusive desert adapted elephants who live there and took us to meet the families of elephants who were relaxed despite our presence - we got so close - within touching distance and had hours of pleasure watching them and taking numerous photographs. The tour climates in a short drive to a plateau with 360 panoramic views all around us.
Whatever else you do in Namibia do not miss this - Etosha was wonderful .. but not nearly as intimate and moving as the Twfelfontein experience. Thank you to the wonderful team for sharing their love of the animals and their knowledge with us.Have a look at photos on instagram - twyfelfonteinelephantdrives.

Namibia is a country with beautiful varied scenery and friendly people
Namibia is a country with wide open spaces and stunning scenery. We had a most enjoyable trip organised and driven by Nature Travel Namibia. The variety from the Namib desert to the wildlife of Etosha was most impressive. All the accommodation was clean, and staff were friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend this safari.

The best experience I ever had!
We never thought to find such an amazing country and wonderful people. We have been driving around the country and everywhere it was different landscape and things to discover. Either Etosha, the desert or the coast, everywhere is unique and beautiful. The experience of being watching the wild animals in their own environment is unforgettable. We definitely will come back and stay longer!
beautiful country with friendly, helpful people
As a veteran traveller I highly recommend Namibia. The services are topnotch and up to date and everyone I met was friendly, efficient and helpful.

Epic landscape and lovely people
We did an 11 day wildlife, dunes and canyons trip, booked by Indigo safaris and organised locally by Chameleon safaris.
From the time we landed to the time we left, we saw amazing landscapes - it’s really a breathtaking variety of dunes, mountains, desert, canyons, and coast. I’d recommend Namibia highly just for the landscapes.
For wildlife, the drive up to Etosha national park is smooth. There are lots of gravely paths inside and out of Etosha (be ready for the “African massage”), but with a decent vehicle and a good driver, it’s all fine. In Etosha, we spotted lots of birds, rhinos, giraffes, ostrich, zebras and also a pack of lions and hyena from a distance, but really wildlife spotting is a game of time and patience (and this was our safari taster and so we have nothing to compare it with). Our guide Tinashe was excellent though in trying to make sure we see as many different animals in the two days of game driving in Etosha as possible. Also, we didn’t go in the peak season.
Everywhere we went, the places where we were staying were super comfortable, including the camping bits (it was a mix of lodges and camps) and the people. I’m a vegetarian, but still could find enough options in super markets for me.
There was no sense of the place being over touristy or people hounding tourists. It was more of a sense of appreciation of tourists for their contribution to the economy (of course you have to be a responsible tourist and appreciate that you are in the wild - in pure nature and not a park). So all in all the experience was very enjoyable, refreshing and peaceful.
