Excellent safari surpassed our expectations
In June 2014, my husband and myself (55 and 56 years old), my mother (80 years) and my daughter (22 years) did the Namibian Experience Safari with Derek Jacobs, owner of Blue Crane Safaris. From the planning phase during which all our questions were answered promptly all through the safari our experience was excellent. Derek organised everything to perfection, chose wonderful lodges and was able to answer all our questions about his country, its history, landscape and animals. He went out of his way to make sure we saw wild animals wherever possible, but we never felt we were in any danger. He was also great company and we shared many nice evenings with interesting discussions and a lot of laughs with him.
Thanks to Blue Crane Safaris and to Derek we have had a great family holiday experience - to be recommended without any reservations!

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!

Efficient, easy to deal with and well priced.
The planning and communication with regard to the 17 day escorted tour of Namibia I recently took was excellent. Some lodges exceeding expectations. Our driver Marcus was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. His contribution was a most important factor of the overall success and I would recommend him unreservedly. I was happy with the cost, level of accomodation and activities. The only hiccup I incurred was paying into a Namibian bank account from a UK bank account. UK Banks don’t like this! It was difficult. Not the fault of Blue Crane but something they could look into to help future guests.
Thank you Derek and team for a very memorable holiday. I hope to return and would use your services again.

We recently went on a fabulous discovery of Namibia which we booked through Blue Crane Safari's.
Derek at Blue Crane Safari’s was excellent at suggesting suitable itineraries for our 17 day trip. We were met at the airport and right through the trip until the end, we were looked after extremely well and our guide, Marcus went above and beyond what he needed to do to make sure we saw the very best of Namibia. I would thoroughly recommend this company when considering a trip to this amazing country.

Professional tour operator created a fantastic trip
Thank you for the excellent tour you organised for us, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Communication with the office team was always prompt and professional. Whilst this type of holiday is generally expensive, the tour was good value for money, especially when compared to quotes from other operators. Most of the lodges booked by Blue Crane exceeded our expectations, with excellent service, lovely accommodation and memorable experiences. Frank was a brilliant guide, ensuring that the whole trip flowed seamlessly with no stress on our part. He happily accommodated our wishes, whilst answering all of our questions. We will definitely recommend Blue Crane and Namibia to our friends and family.

Superbly organised 15-day Safari
We chose the 15-day Safari which gave a good balance between culture, history and nature. We discovered that Namibia is very varied, even the climate - we travelled from the cooler, even foggy climate of the coast to baking temperatures in Damaraland. Taking this trip, bear in mind that there will be a lot of driving, but even the long road journeys were interesting. Our guide/driver Markus was very informative and looked after us well. When we were planning the trip, Derek in the office communicated with us promply and effectively. Blue Crane Safaris are not cheap, but we feel our money was well spent. Accommodation was upmarket. Food was excellent and exceeded our expectations. At the coast, try the oysters! We have always lived near the sea, but never had so much good seafood. Inland we were able to try a variety of game meats. We felt really spoilt on this trip.

The best partner for a trip to Namibia, reliability and professionalism assured!
No words will ever be enough to thank Blue Crane Safaris Namibia for organizing the best private tour of my life!
Everything was more than perfectly organized! As a travel agent, I am very happy to have found Blue Crane to be the ideal partner for future trips of my clients as well, as their personalized and tailor made service can meet the needs of any traveler
From the first moment I contacted them, I felt that I was dealing with a truly knowledgeable and competent staff; in particular Jamie, in the early stages of trip design, was very attentive, thoughtful, and quick to understand our needs.
I am convinced in saying that this tour to Namibia was by far the one that gave me the strongest emotions.
Besides the wonders of a spectacular country, I am sure that the presence of the fantastic guide Sebe was decisive.
He is a very knowledgeable, attentive and caring guide, as well as a guy with a heart, helpful and full of humanity. We are truly grateful for having him accompany us. I arrived in Namibia as a tourist and left as a friend.
His friendliness really overwhelmed us!
On a practical level, the tour was perfectly organized; the vehicle was comfortable and our guide took great care to make sure we always found it clean and tidy. The accommodations that were recommended to us were spectacular, very comfortable and in dream locations.
The experience with this tour operator was vastly above expectations I can do nothing but 100% recommend it for your next trip to Namibia.

Blue Crane Tours is an excellent tour operator with a professional, attentive and experienced team.
I went on the 15 day Namibian Highlights tour - everything went very smoothly. Jamie in the front office promptly answered my queries as I booked the tour and Frank our tour guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to the group. There is a lot of time in the car but there are frequent activities and a diverse landscape to keep you entertained.

An extremely well organised and efficiently run company.
Booking the tour was very straightforward and all my pre tour queries were answered by return. The tour itself exceeded my expectations. Accommodations are varied but all of a high standard and food to suit all tastes.
You do spend a lot of time on the road but there are plenty of activities, lunch stops, photo stops and ever changing scenery to look out on. It's a brilliant mix of culture and wildlife in stunning landscapes with unforgettable moments; climbing Dune 45, being surrounded by wild horses, watching thousand of seals, flamingoes, pelicans, walking through a ghost town...... the list is endless.
Excellent value for money
