Professional, responsive, memorable trip!
5/5

I found Blue Crane through Safaribookings.com. Derek was incredibly helpful and responsive in organizing my solo trip, sorting through safari types in order to maximize my time in Namibia. I had the same guide for both trips; the guide was not only knowledgeable, professional, and always on time, but was super friendly and fun, overall his personality made the experience that much greater, all of us on the tours had a great time. I highly recommend Blue Crane for safaris in Namibia. :)

Professional and well organised tour with a personal touch
5/5

From the pick-up upon arrival until the very last minute, our driver/guide Raymond provided a professional but friendly service. Our 17 day discovery of Namibia Tour will remain one of our best trips and our holiday memories will last forever. Blue Crane Safaris made this experience possible in a hassle-free way. The accommodation and restaurants were all of a high standard with a very good price/quality ratio. Derek, the owner, and his staff were always on-hand to help, their advice was excellent and the driving and guiding skills of Raymond were highly appreciated. We'll look forward using Blue Crane for a next trip in the region.

An Awesome Experience!
5/5

From our first inquiry with Blue Crane Safari, Derek was prompt and helpful. We were booking relatively late, but Derek helped us find a safari that met our needs. We made all of our arrangements from the United States via email and everything turned out seamless. The morning of the safari we were picked up in Swakopmund by our guide Penda. We were transported to Etosha in an air conditioned van. Penda pointed out animals along the way and gave us information about what we were going to see. Once inside Etosha, Penda handled all of our check-ins and dinner reservations. Dinner was a buffet and we ate with the to the travelers in our group. Our rooms both nights at the lodges were comfortable. Penda drove us in an open air truck for our game drive on the second day. We spent the day driving around looking for animals. We saw all the animals we had hoped to see including cheetahs and lions. Penda was always willing to stop so we could take pictures and he always gave us plenty of information about the animals. Overall we had an amazing experience and we have nothing but great things to say about Blue Crane Safari. I would definitely use them again if I was in Africa and I would recommend them to my family and friends.

Professional
4/5

Interesting tour; professional and helpful drivers who also guide; good accomodation in lodges. Hotels in towns were too far from the centre (they should be changed) and for the city tour in Windhoek I paid 30 euro for seing and learning nothing (it should be done by a professional guide).

Both consultants and guides do anything to make your safari an excellent experience
5/5

From the first contact through email until the drop of at Windhoek AirPort, the overall experience has been great. We booked 2 safari's. One to Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia and the Namibia experience. We were both camping and we stayed in lodges. the camping experience was very good it exceeded our expectations. Very nice to be sleeping outside and to be able to hear all animals outside. And the lodges were so nice, with gamedrives and sundowners to remember. The drives were sometimes long but the bus was comfortable and air-conditioned. We can recommend Blue crane safari, you will be in very good hands.

Wonderful Trip to Etosha!
5/5

We had a wonderful 3 day trip to Etosha with Blue Crane Safaris. Our guide Raymond was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and we had good fun with them too.

The team in the office were also really helpful and it was a pleasure organising our trip with them.

I would highly recommended Blue Crane Safaris and Raymond as a guide and I would definitely use them again should I be back in Namibia.

Thoughtful arrangement with super professional Guide
5/5

We have found Blue Safari at the last minute prior to the trip. They are very competitive in the quotation, compared to the other agencies. In the meantime, they are super helpful and willing to help us solve the Visa issues. in our country the visa officer requires a lot of formalities and strict information to be provided by the agency and Blue Crane staff, Derek Jacobs, is so kind and supportive to provide anything we need for the visa.
And the Cost is much lower than all the other agencies!

The trip proves that we have made the best choice ever! the schedule is very reasonable, allowing us to see many spots as much as possible. The accommodations are very nice as well, cozy and comfortable. and our guide, Raymond, is very experienced and professional, has a lot of knowledge. He has been cooking, driving and guiding for us all the time. Thanks to him we have a very pleasant trip.

Blue crane is very professional and i sincerely wish you guys develop better in the coming years!
