Friendly and professional service all the way!
Thanks to Derek and his team at Blue Crane Safaris who planned and organised a perfectly executed itinerary for our first Self-Drive in Namibia. What a beautiful country to experience with changes in the landscape around almost every corner!
Derek was always available to assist or advise, and went over and above our expectations to ensure our safety, comfort and overall enjoyment for a memorable journey.
We will be back for another trip and plan to travel with Blue Crane again!

Amazing experience!
My boyfriend and I did two tours with the Blue Crane Safaris and it was all wonderful. We went in a small group and had all the attention and care needed. Our guide Sammy made our experience even better by informing us of the local flora and fauna and catering to our every need.

Amazing Experience
The communication with the agency was done by email and they were very quick to respond and give all the informations.
My expectations were exceeded, the guides were very professional and helpful.
Namibia is a beautiful country.
I highly recommend Blue Crane.
Wonderful 3-day desert tour!
I had a great time on the Blue Crane Safari Tour to the Namib desert. Eventhough we only had 3 days, we saw so many beatiful things: breathtaking nightskys, wild animals, beautiful sunrise on the top of sand dunes... Blue Crane organised everything - camping equipment, food, entertainment ;) Sammy was a great guide!

Trip of a lifetime. Served all our needs beyond expectations and tour guide was best ever!
Blue Crane was a pleasure to work with arranging a tour that fit our needs, they were very accommodating. We were a family of 5 on a tight schedule over the Christmas holiday and luckily starting booking in April. We did the six night tour (2 nights in the desert, 2 Swakopmund and 2 in Etosha.) The desert lodge, was wonderful, an oasis in the desert with lovely warm and welcoming staff and great food.(we had 2 vegetarians and a vegan and they were plenty of options) We upgraded to the Strand hotel in Swakopmund, which was a real treat and worth the splurge. Traudy (Blue Crane)was wonderful and even made our dinner reservations in Swakopmund at Jetty 1904 and The Tug, both were amazing. The Etosha park lodges, were clean and nicer than I expected. I must say the best part of the trip was our tour guide, Sammy. Sammy is an amazing person, who exudes kindness, it felt like he was part of our family. He picked us up at the airport with a huge smile and was with us to the end, never missing a thing. He was so knowledgeable about everything; the history, the animals, the birds, the fauna and flora, the mountains and the stars (we received a great astronomy lesson in the desert). He knew all the great spots to go to and when to go to avoid crowds and the heat. He really made this a trip of a lifetime for our family. My only regret was that we did not have more time to spend. I would have enjoyed an extra day in each spot. I guess we will have to visit again. We saw loads of animals and birds. The landscapes were also breath taking. Blue Crane didn't miss a beat. Highly recommend this company and Sammy!

The Etosha reserve and the Namib Desert in semi private tour!
I have just come back from a 10 days tour that included some of the major spots in Namibia (Etosha Park, Damaraland, Swakupmund and the coast, the Namib Desert). I have to say that I have organized this trip only 7 days before departure and I found and very good assistance with great professionality by Traudy. I had no worries with the airport transfer and the nights at arrival and departure in Windhoek , and received all suggestions and and advices needed before departure. At arrival everything was perfectly organized and the good surprise was that the tour took place with 3 travellers only (me and 2 nice american), with a brand new Toyota 4x4, which is a "plus" regarding comfort and security in a 3000 Km trip mainly on dust roads! The guide, Elton, was an excellent driver and behaved with capability and prudence in all circumstances. It was enjoyable to spend hours also in the car, with the feeling of being alone sometimes, in the immense landscapes of Namibia. Camp equipments and campsites were all perfect and we had sufficient time to enjoy the beauties of the places that we visited. Meals were all excellent! I have to say that the main feeling is that I found was I was looking for: the chance of visiting the places I wanted to see, living the days with the perception away from the tourism masses, in a safe way. I would recommend to travel across Namibia with Blue Crane, and for sure whatever is your type of expectation I have seen that it can be discussed in advance with the staff in order to program what best fits to the traveller intention.

Wonderful Namibia
We discovered Namibia with our family and it was beyond our expectations. The fauna and flora, the landscapes, are unbelievable. Friends told us about their experience with Blue Crane Safaris and we were not disappointed! The organisation of our trip was great thanks to Derek, very nice and mostly efficient. He answered quickly and accurately to all our questions, and was very flexible. Our guide-driver, Samy, enthusiastic, smiling and organized, taught us a lot about the animals, birds, trees, geology... Our vehicle 4x4 was very comfortable and spacious, with all our luggages in a small trailer! We highly recommend Blue Crane Safaris for a successful holiday to discover this fabulous country!

What a welcome to Africa
Our 1st experience with Africa was through a 5 day tour of the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei & Coastwith Blue Crane Safaris and they did not disappoint. From the outset the communication with Derek was exceptional with him responding promptly and patiently. Then after months of waiting we finally arrived and were greeted by our guide, Sammy, who was a upbeat kind of guy with amazing knowledge and who went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience. He went above & beyond when one of our group left his passport behind on our last day and arranged to have it sent from Swakopmund to Windhoek. (Thanks again Sammy!) We saw amazing sights and a wide variety of birds & animals. Would happily recommend Blue Crane to you.
