fabulous landscapes and spaces
Overall rating
5/5

Secret Namibia tour was very nice.
A few advices:
1. take a plaque (iron ?) in the car for sand or jack ! and 10 l of water
2. use google maps not the garmin of your car...you ll get lost
3, book your activities in advance !!! at least a week for the most popular ones....
4. stay 3 nights in Swakop not 2 and do the dunes twice !!!!!!!!!!
5. dont stay long in windhoek (max 2 night) there are so many other nice sites to see ! Take an afternoon tour in Windhoek and go to the market to eat Kapana....
6. bring a few things to give away if you want . In Damaraland they have so little !
7. beware of children in Damaraland wanting to get something they are at risks with the cars and quite sticky.
8, take enough time in Sossusvlei....may be 2 days and 2 visits (?)

Namibia 2024 was an unforgetable marvelous discovery. The south for our next trip !

Not bad

Etosha is good for elephants giraffes and zebras, few more, some lions also
But is not comparável to Tanzânia, Ngogorgoro or Serengueti

Namibia Camping Safari
Overall rating
5/5

The 6 day camping safari in the Namib Desert was brilliant. Excellent value for money. Organised through Chameleon Safaris. Our guide and driver Simon really made a difference. His knowledge of the environment and animals was very good, as was his his general knowledge and history. Enjoyed some fascinating discussions over dinner.
The campsites were very well organised. Great amenities.
Who could go to Etosha and not be impressed.

Amazing desert colours, the night sky heavy with stars
Overall rating
5/5

Mighty nature that grabs you and make you feel as small as any grain of the desert sand.
Amazing desert colours and velvet vibe of the sunset touching not only the eyes, but the soul too. The night sky was heavy with stars that seemed to pour down on the Earth.
Gloomy, stormy ocean, cute giraffes and baboons...
Delicious meal, cossy desert camps, attractive people friendly and positive.
Art, crafts and souvenirs you buy from everywhere will keep your memories more live and colourful.
Namibia is in my heart.

Brilliant Contrasts
Overall rating
5/5

Our recent journey to Namibia ranked as one of our best international trips. It is a country of great contrasts and scenic beauty, especially for those who appreciate stark features of nature. Namibia is an outstanding destination for those who enjoy nature photography and adventure as opposed to those who prefer city tours and shopping. We loved hiking up Big Daddy, one of the largest desert sand dunes. The petrified forest in Deadvlei set against the dunes is unique in the world. Shipwrecks could be seen along the Skeleton coast. Obviously one of the favorite places was Etosha NP and especially capturing photos and silhouettes of African animals at sunset at the waterholes. I was pleased to see the emphasis on protection of wildlife in Etosha and rehabilitation and caring for cheetah at Cheetah Conservation Fund. Unfortunately, in contrast, I became aware of the Namibian government's plans for slaughtering, or as they euphemistically call culling, over 80K adorable seals at Cape Cross including routinely clubbing thousands of seal pups. I'll end on a brighter note. Our private guide Leonard with People's Tours was exemplary. He showed flexibility and consistent sensitivity to our needs, thorough knowledge of the country and animals, and even an appreciation of my twisted sense of humor. I highly recommend a private tour with him.

From entering Namibia at the Orange River, to The Fish River Canyon, Sossusvlei, Grootberg, Etosha and Kalahari, we enjoyed unique landscape and wildlife experiences. I can highly recommend Namibia as an incredible country and destination.

Beauty untold
Overall rating
5/5

My trip to Namibia was absolutely a fantastic experience from the word go. The tour was well planned and we had an excellent, informative guide. We stayed at really wonderful guestfarms and lodges and the food was really great. Namibia is truly beautiful with a lot of contrasts and history. Etosha was a highlight as well as the dunes at Sossusvlei. I will do it again in a heartbeat.
