The perfect host
Recommend for anyone planing on experiencing Namibia. Fanuel was a good travel companion and Emilia booked us the best hotels.

Always ready to help us to discover Namibia with enthusiasm
We made a 3 day tour to Sossusvlei. The team was very friendly, professional, always attentive to client's needs and an excellent service from the reservation process to the end of the trip. We really enjoyed travelling with People Tours and Safari. We highly recommend!

High Quality Tour | Namibia Highlights
I joined a 6-Days itinerary perfectly organized by the tour consultant Emilia, which allowed me to see the main highlights of the country in the outback and the coastal area. Great choice also of the accomodations and great willingness to adapt the itinerary to my interests. Special mention also for the two guides Tulela and Luke, who were giving me the best experience!

Hassle free and reliable company
Everything was just perfect.
Booking process was easy and all the people I engaged with were extremely friendly.
Payment process was also easy via payment link.
Guide was punctual, easy going, reliable, helpful and fun to be with.
Tour operator was recommended to be by a colleague and I’m definitely not disappointed.
Thank you once again

They're responsive until they get your money
If I could give 0 stars I would. I booked a private tour. Below are just some issues I faced with this company:
1. Rude guide. Being that I'm his only client on a private tour, it's inexcusable that he gave very little information and loved to chat with his guide friends but neglected me.
2. I specified I didn't want to camp and wanted very nice accommodations. The price reflected much nicer accommdations. They ended up booking me in some lodges with no hot water (it's winter in namibia and freezing on the skeleton coast), broken lights, and no heat while it was just 3 degrees outside.
3. They booked me a photographer. He showed up an hour late the first day. Took terribly over-exposed photos that were worse than photos on a phone. A month later, he still won't edit the photos in any way to make them look professional. People's Safari won't respond to my emails and won't take any responsibility for this issue.
4. The logistics were poorly planned. They didn't look for lodges close to destinations so we ended up losing time driving several hours out of the way. I guess they were trying to save money at the expense of tourists' time.
They're happy to take your money but give subpar accommodations and customer service. Please save yourself the headache and avoid this tour operator

Posted on Aug 11, 2024Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take all feedback seriously and would like to address the concerns you mentioned:
1 Guide Experience: We understand that the guide was not to your satisfaction initially. As soon as you informed us of your discomfort, we immediately arranged for a replacement guide to ensure your comfort and safety. However, it's important to note that our guides are trained to prioritize safety, and they mentioned that there were instances where not following instructions could have led to unsafe situations. We regret any confusion this caused during your trip.
2.Accommodation We apologize if the accommodations did not meet your expectations. You had booked a mid-range tour with budget constraints, and we did communicate that certain higher-end luxury accommodations would require an additional charge. Some of the accommodations you desired were only accessible by flight, which also required an additional fee. We always strive to offer the best possible options within the agreed budget.
3. Photography Services Regarding the photographer, we did inform you from the beginning that we do not have a specialized photographer on staff. We recommended a photographer, subject to your approval, and regret that his work did not meet your expectations. We understand how important capturing memories is and apologize for any disappointment this may have caused.
Finally, we sincerely apologize for any other issues that were out of our control and negatively impacted your experience. We are committed to improving our services and will take your feedback into account to ensure future guests have a better experience.
Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Sincerely,
Albin

The trip with People Tours and Safari was fantastic and everything worked out seamlessly
It was my first time in Namibia and when I was organizing for my trip, I picked one of the tour operators that had the best ratings and I was not disappointed. They set up such an amazing trip and took care of all the details! They were always available to answer questions I had at any time. The trip in this beautiful country was fantastic and everything worked out seamlessly. The lodges and the activities were excellent, and the scenery in Etosha National Park, Swakopmund, Damaraland, the Namib desert and all the others places we visited were a real treat to the eyes! My tour guide, Timoteus, is very friendly, helpful and so kind and I learned a lot about the places we visited and the rich local culture. It was a real pleasure to be taken around by him. Overall, it was a great vacation and definitely one of my favorites. I am happy I did it and I'd recommend the tour by People Tours and Safari to anyone.

Friendly, flexible and organised, easy Communication
We booked only a few days in advance and it was no problem. The communication via WhatsApp was easy and friendly.
The tour itself was amazing. We were super lucky with our tour guide Luke! He was kind and easy to talk to but still always professional. He knew a lot about flora and fauna and the Namibian history. Long drives in the car never got boring. We liked that he always shared the table with us during the meals and that he made us feel always comfortable and safe.
We stayed at a campsite (Okaukuejo) in Etosha which was similar to European standards just with a way more spectacular view. We loved visiting the waterhole next to the campsite and spent hours on the bench watching elefants, rhinos, giraffes and many more animals.
We decided during our 3-day-trip that we would like to be dropped off in Swakopmund instead of Windhoek as planned before. It was not a problem at all, they were super flexible!
We would definitely recommend the tour! 🧡
