Fabulous, accommodating, and on the ball, Nature Travel Namibia handled every detail.
5/5

So I found Nature Travel Namibia through an acquaintance in my hometown. Obviously, it’s less expensive to go through a local company than through American tour operators, but without the recommendation, I don’t know that I would have chosen a local company like NTN. I’m so glad I found them!! I worked with a lovely woman via email who planned the private trip with me. We wanted to see Sossesvlei in Namibia and go on Safari, and we wanted to see South African culture. Our tour operator gave us both, and dealt with our dietary needs (2 vegetarians and a GF kid.) To say we ate well is an understatement. I gave a short list of what we were looking for and she provided. My girls and I had studied Apartheid, and we wanted to see Soweto and Constitutional Hill; my husband is a photographer and wanted to see leopards and rhinos. We moved around a lot, and there was someone waiting for us at every stop. My anxiety levels were low after we met our first guide: the whole thing was almost too easy for us! It was a wonderful trip, and when I asked to be tour guide-free in Cape Town at the end, NTN set us up at a convenient location for walking and left tickets at the hotel for Robben Island. Honestly, I cannot stress this enough: NTN took care of us! I was in contact with them only once during the trip, and that was just to say thanks. The guides they gave us were not only competent, but fun to be around. They stuck to our budget, and found ways to stretch it. Seriously, don’t hesitate to use them. They really know what they’re doing. It was a trip of a lifetime for us, and we met some really wonderful people. I feel enormous gratitude for Nature Travel Namibia, and I am already planning to use them again to see Vic Falls and the Okavango Delta: we just need a few years to make that happen. 🤗

It ensures seamless, stress-free trips with personalized itineraries and great support
5/5

We had a very smooth experience with Nature Travel Namibia. Petra was very helpful during the planning stage and customized the itinerary according to our preferences. The trip itself went without any hiccups, we had no issues with the pre-booked accommodations, transfers and activities, so we didn't have to communicate with the tour operator apart from a couple of non-urgent questions from us, to which we got the replies.
We are very happy with the experience, it was very unique and memorable, and we definitely recommend Nature Travel Namibia to make the organization of the trip stress-free.

Incredible
5/5

The tour was beyond our expectations. The value for what we received was amazing. We stayed at beautiful lodges with incredible hospitality, enjoyed delicious food (and they were very accommodating toward the dietary restrictions in our group), and learned so much from our knowledgeable guide. The planning phase was extremely detailed and hands on, and our guide also allowed us to make adjustments to our trip as we saw fit while we were on it. We appreciated the flexibility and customization. We saw so much on our safari game drives, from wildlife to beautiful flora and scenery. Our guide was great at spotting animals and teaching us about animal habits and their habitat. Our trip to the desert was equally as exciting and we got to enjoy hiking in the beautiful dunes of Namibia. I know that if we had tried to attempt any of this trip on our own our experience would not have been nearly as nice. The coordination from our planner and our guide truly made this trip so incredible. I also believe had we tried to do this experience on our own, we probably would have ended up spending more. Will definitely be exploring with this company for future trips.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

We had an amazing time in Namibia thanks to our coordinator Amber Lynn and our guide Lucky. From the first contact with Nature Travel and Amber Lynn until the end, everything was handled professionally and on point. Requests were met and accommodated perfectly, and it was very easy to reach Nature Travel and the communication was always very quick and professional.

The stay in Namibia itself was wonderful! We had such a great time, and Lucky was an amazing guide. From the first moment when he picked us up, until when he dropped us off at the airport, he had a huge smile and was always very friendly, approachable, accommodating, knowledgable and positive. You can tell that he loves what he does and that he has great knowledge about, I would say, everything. There were some long days driving, but Lucky always kept the spirit up and did a great job and always made us feel safe on the roads. Furthermore, he knew the behaviours of the animals, and the perfect spots for the wildlife which made sure we got to experience some amazing moments with amazing views of the action. However, he always respected the animals, and made sure we did not interfere in their lives.

Talking about Namibia, it was such a wonderful country to explore, with so many diverse sites we got to visit. I think we were both blown away by the diversity of the Namibian nature and wildlife. From the sand dunes, to the roughness of the coast, and the inland of Damarland and then moving on to the safari seeing all the different animals, it was just amazing to see all that Namibia has to offer. The people were always very friendly, and the hotels were just amazing! It was definitely worth the money and we want to come back one day for sure!

Thank you Nature Travel, Amber Lynn and last but not least Lucky for this amazing trip! It is one we will always remember!

Private tour in Namibia: A trip of a lifetime
5/5

Our Birds and Mammals private tour has been planned by Petra, our travel consultant for nature Travel Namibia. She did a fantastic job, gave us different suggestions before we decided to book. Finally, she prepared a travel plan with 11 differents lodges for 15 days, all amazing. They were clean, confortable, the meals were good and the staff was nice. Every places offered excellent opportunities to observe birds. We did a list of 176 differents birds species.

Our excellent guide, Buzzy Joell, worked very hard from the beginning to the end, to give us satisfaction, beyond our expectations. He's a very good driver, we always felt safe despite the 3800 kms we covered with him on Namibian roads and tracks. He's passionate and extremely competent, both in ornithology, mammals, reptiles, insects and plants. He gave us informations with skill and professionnalism. We spent 2 wonderful weeks together, sharing our meals and our excursions. He was a very pleasant travel companion. He made us discover the nature of Namibia.

5/5

Our experience with Nature Travel Namibia was absolutely incredible. Petra, the travel planner, truly made our dream trip come to life. She listened carefully to all of our preferences and made sure to incorporate every single one into our itinerary. Petra was always quick to respond to emails and proactively suggested a variety of options that perfectly matched our travel style.

During our trip, we even had the pleasure of meeting Petra in person, and we were struck by how enthusiastic and passionate she was about ensuring that everything went smoothly. Her dedication and energy really added a personal touch to our adventure.

What really stood out was how affordable the entire trip was, without any compromise on quality. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we would absolutely plan our next adventure with Nature Travel Namibia again. Highly recommended!

Professional, exceptionally organized and a friendly tour operator. Highly recommended!
5/5

We booked a private 9 days travel through Namibia and it was exceptionally good. Everything was perfectly organized. Started with the planning of the trip. Amber Lynn was amazing. The communication was very smooth and friendly. She always answered very quickly to all our questions, requests, etc. She planned the perfect trip for us according to our budget and wishes. It was a real pleasure to plan with her. Thank you Amber Lynn!
The whole trip was very well organized, from the pick up from the airport, the lodges and excursions to the drop off at the airport. You don’t need to worry about anything, just enjoy the trip. We had our private car with our private driver/tour guide Lucky who was amazing. He has such a great knowledge, (about wildlife, Namibia, Africa. You could ask him everything about everything), happy personality, is an excellent safe driver and always went the extra mile to make sure our special requests we had during the trip were taken care of. He made everything possible for us which we appreciated a lot. We couldn’t wish for a better guide and travel companion. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable trip for us. We will come back for sure and of course will book the next trip with NTN!

Amazing Experience
5/5

My wife and I had a truly amazing experience on our safari we booked through Nature Travel Namibia. It started in the planning process working with Amber. She was very easy to work with in putting together our tour, and was always prompt in responding to messages as well as clear in all communications. Once in Namibia, our guide Wilson made the entire experience incredible. Wilson was extensively knowledgeable about local flora/fauna, geology, and history which made the experience enriching. On top of that, he was very professional yet friendly and personable which made the trip even more rewarding. Additionally, we are incredibly grateful to Amber, Wilson, and Joram for helping navigate our lost luggage and coordinating a meetup to get it back! We had a truly amazing trip to Namibia!

What an experience!
Petra was great helping me to organise the whole trip, thank you for her patience with me because I know I’ve been challenging sometimes! ☺️ She was able to book great lodges and activities around Namibia with the right way for me (anti clock wise).
And of course thank you to the phenomenal David, our guide. His huge experience, knowledge of nature and kindness made this private trip just awesome for me and my wife.
Definitely we recommend NTN

Reliable, responsive and efficient
5/5

We did an 18-days self-drive safari of Namibia with an extension to Victoria Falls fully organized by Nature Travel Namibia. It has been a wonderful experience! It was our first time in an African country and we were unsure about all the long distance driving to do on our own, but following the suggestions of our contact person Nadine Jones of NTN we felt comfortable and safe all the time during the trip. We could design the itinerary as we wanted, taking a slow pace and staying more days at each location instead of travelling every day, and we did not miss any of the places we wanted to visit. The selection of lodges and hotels was perfect, in stunning locations and excellent quality. All was as advertised and promised, and NTN was always quickly responding to our emails and requests. We also asked for a couple of changes during the travel itself and they were kindly and efficiently accommodated. I will not hesitate to use NTN for future holiday plans.
