Unforgettable and perfectly planned tour!
Our tour through Namibia was excellently planned. Clive from Firefinch Safaris was very responsive to our wishes and took particular account of the fact that we were traveling with two children aged 11 and 13. He also quickly and flexibly planned a last-minute change of plans and early arrival for us and flexibly took our needs into account. We had an unforgettable trip and would like to thank Clive and Firefinch Safaris for the new impressions we created!
Very efficient and responsive. Booked wonderful lodges and covered nearly everything
Clive organised a great trip for us Namibia Girls. The lodges were excellent and we had an amazing time. Dunes wonderful, desert safari very special. Would suggest just see rock painting at Twyfelfontain and don’t do elephant drive. Etosha roads bad but good game viewing at waterholes. Lianshulu is a lovely lodge but not really enough to do for 2 night stay. Mopani Lodge in Botswana - great waterhole but 40 km from park entrance and service very well meaning but a bit erratic. Guest house in Victoria Falls very good indeed, a super place to finish.

Firefinch safaris exceeded all our expectations.
I and 3 other retired ladies have just returned from a superbly organised FireFinch safaris and car hire. We self drove through Namibia covering 3068 km. We felt totally safe in all the places he recommended we visit.
Right from the start Clive was super quick to respond to me on WhatsApp, answering all our questions and worries. We chatted too at length about what to expect, what we might do and he sent us the Travel Key App to 'play' with. It lead us through our daily itinerary and the distances we needed to cover and information about the lodges and activies we might like to do. He met us on our first day in Windhoek to answer any more questions and everyones feed back to me was very positive. He gave us a lot of confidence. He was definately a person to turn to when we had a few "oh no senior moments" . These problems, of our own making I hasten to add, were ironed out quickly with help from Clive.
He arranged terrific lodges and hotels for us. Every lodge was so special in it's own way. From 5 star to quirky - all extremely good. Every new accommodation was a wow moment. It was so exciting to see what place was coming next. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. My personal favourite was eating dinner on the terrace where we watched sometimes 30 elephants or more at the waterhole 100 metres away interacting with each other.
We travelled extensively and followed Clive's advice about checking tyres when we stopped to refuel. So we had no problems with the 4x4 vehicle. It was very comfortable.
As well as Namibia we went to Botswana and Victoria Falls. My advice here would be to buy your souvenirs in Namibia! Things were better value in Nam. Victoria Falls works on the US$ and there was a noticeable difference in value for money. We did love all 3 countries though and Vic Falls was well worth seeing.
What memories we made! We all feel so fortunate to have done this trip.
If you are hesitating about going to Namibia then please don't hesitate anymore!
You will not be disappointed in the country or FireFinch Safaris and Car hire. It was just wonderful. Thankyou Clive.

The best tour operator I’ve worked with in Namibia
I’ve worked with Clive and his tour company since 2017. I am frequently in Namibia for travel (both professional and pleasure). Clive and Firefinch have gone above and beyond so many times I can’t imagine booking or working with anyone else. I’ve also had 3 separate groups come to Namibia on short and long holidays, and I worked with Firefinch for all those trips as well. The entire team is thoughtful, kind, and responsive, and patient. They really listen to the clients and help create productive and meaningful experiences in Namibia. I couldn’t recommend a company more.

Discovery of Namibia
To begin with, we fell in love with Namibia and its very different landscapes. It was a feast for our eyes and brains.
Our trip lasted 14 days and we were able to visit the north and south of Namibia. The trip was professionally prepared and we didn't encounter any problems during the 14 days.
The lodges offered by firenfinch are exceptional.
The food is very good, even refined, and of course the wine is excellent.
The country is very easy, very very clean and above all very safe.
The people are very welcoming, charming and smiling.
We'll be back for sure!
