One-stop shop for all Namibian adventures
Blue Crane is an extremely reliable go-to operator even for last-minute trips.
They are friendly, helpful, competent and well organized. They will go out of their way to help you.
Our 27 students took great advantage of their services which suited their budgets quite well.
They also helped me with self-catering solo trips in the far reaches of Namibia.
Excellent value and service! Highly recommended...

Etosha trip with students
Over a long weekend, Blue Crane Safaris provided an excellent tour to Etosha for our group of 29 students and faculty from an American university. We camped for three nights in Etosha and saw an enormous number of animals, which was unusual for this time of year. The success of the journey was due to our excellent guides who provided all the camping gear, drove the vans and pointed out the wildlife. They also cooked all the meals, which I recommend, as this allowed us to spend more time at the waterhole near the campsite. This was the experience of a lifetime for everyone, and I was impressed enough to book a private journey with Blue Crane for my family later in the year.

Exploring Namibia
All went 100% successfully on our tour. Nothing could have been better. Efficient, safe, interesting, educational, expert, and friendly. I have worked with Blue Crane in the past and I look forward to working with Blue Crane again in the future. I bring groups of U.S. teen-agers for a week or two at a time, and it is a comfort to know that all will be arranged and executed properly by Derek, Job, Traudy, Richard, and my friends at Blue Crane.

Non commercial, personal holidays, thanks to Blue Crane Safaris
This was our 3rd holidays in last 4 years with Blue Crane and everytime the experience get better. Unlike a few other safari operators i had used in the past, Blue Crane is far different in terms of organising holidays. The whole team is available to make the experience enjoyable, memorable and at any time they dont make you feel as a tourist. Good Team!!!
We look forward to holiday with them agains.

Best Trip Ever!
We are a group of two moms and our three daughters, all animal lovers, who had been talking about this trip for years and finally decided to stop talking and do it and we are very glad we did, especially with Blue Crane and Derek.
There was a lot of back and forth with Blue Crane during our planning stages and they were very patient with all our requests, even when we decided to completely reverse the original itinerary. (Most of this was because we each had a daughter with serious motion sickness and we were trying to eliminate long drives).
Once we arrived in Namibia, Derek had arranged everything perfectly. The lodges we stayed in were way beyond what we had imagined and we can't stop talking about the food. None of us had ever eaten that much game before and we loved it. He even made sure our favourite beverages were in a cooler in the vehicle each day. Derek did an amazing job of dealing with two generations of crazy ladies.
The best parts though were the number and diversity of the animals we saw on our game drives. And the information about the animals Derek was able to give us. We were lucky enough to see everything from giraffes to warthogs and oryx to elephants and lions, and even the desert elephants and lions. No leopards though, so we will have to come back and will certainly book with Blue Crane Safaris. Thanks a million Derek helping us make memories with our girls that will last a lifetime.

Blue Crane Safaris Namibia surpassed our extremely high expectations.
We were a group of 5 women, mothers and daughters and there are not enough words to describe how amazing this safari was. Every single detail was met, timing and pickups were perfect, tour arrangements and lodging was outstanding, and Derek, our guide, was amazing. His knowledge and obvious pride in Namibia was evident, and he explained everything we asked of him, describing history, geology, people, and of course the animals, in great detail. We saw all the animals and much more, from early morning game drives to night drives. The country is large and we would love to go back and see the areas that we didn't have time for, there is no doubt that we will use Blue Crane Safaris again!

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!
