Extremely helpful travel planners for Namibia!
Our Cardboard Box consultant Anita made our entire Namibia trip possible! We had a lot of difficulty trying to arrange the trip on our own and Anita organized everything for us according to our specific interests and desired budget. We particularly liked this company because they will custom tailor the trip exactly how you want it. They were very responsive to our emails etc. before our trip and everything went extremely smoothly once we were in Namibia. All of the hotels and bookings were great. They also provide you with helpful material regarding driving routes and restaurants etc. on arrival. Namibia is amazing and is at the top of our list of recommendations!

Everything went as expected
We planned to visit Namibia quite late in the year (march-april) and Cardboard Box Travel Shop (Lilly in particular) was the only Travel Agent that tried (and indeed was able) to set up a tour for us...

An efficient and nice support to make our trip a wonderful experience!
It was really easy to prepare our trip with our contact at Cardboard Box Travel Shop. The information and proposals provided were accurate and we had quick answers to our questions.
The living up was as great as expected and we had no bad surprise in the lodges nor in the prebooked activities.
If we ever have the opportunity to come again to Namibia, we will go Black with Cardboard Box Travel Shop to organise the trip.

Cardboard Box Travel exceeded our expectations
We used Allison at Cardboard Box to book and assist with planning of our self drive trip through Namibia. In the beginning we were just going to book Etosha National Park with the company, but Allison was such a wonderful help and wealth of information that we decided to book everything including extra tours and car hire through Cardboard Box.
Although we are pretty independent travellers, we found for Namibia it really paid off to use a local agency like Cardboard Box, for both experience and local knowledge, and unexpectedly also for assistance on the ground. We have visited Africa many times, but for various reasons, Namibia threw us a few new challenges, and Allisons advice, help and guidance was invaluable. She knew about all the accommodations and places we wanted to visit, and was happy to offer valuable and honest advice where we needed it during planning, even with some sensitive subjects.
During the trip when we had some car problems Allison along with others in the office helped us out enormously. A car breakdown in the middle of nowhere, with no phone service, was a stressful enough, but the CB team organised assistance with everything via the local Avis office, and a repair, then eventual vehicle replacement, which were all arranged by the next day.
I cannot stress highly enough how impressed we were with the service of Allison and the staff at Cardboard Box Travel, and would recommend them without hesitation.

Perfect organisation, matching all of our expectations
Communication was on top of my expectation, every mail was answered in short time notice,
All services on time, flexibility even on tour for unexpected changes, lodges and services topped all of the groups expectations.
We would certainly recommend Cardboard Box to anyone and will use them again when in the region.
Special thanks to Anita, our consultant in charge

Outstanding - thorough, responsive, incredibly knowledgeable - cannot recommend them highly enough.
We could not have been happier with Cardboard Box. Allison was extremely knowledgeable and full of great advice for us. We appreciated the fact that she crafted the itinerary specifically for our needs and desires, as opposed to slotting us into the standard setup - this kind of care is not the norm. Very impressive. We also appreciated her excellent communication - she always responded quickly and professionally to our questions and concerns. As a result, we had an outstanding trip. Even when we made a last minute change to our itinerary, while in the bush, on a Sunday night, we had an immediate response and help making the changes and arrangements. We do not hesitate to recommend Cardboard Box extremely highly to anyone and everyone.
