Great help and advice to put together the perfect self drive trip around Namibia
We have just returned from a fabulous holiday, driving around Namibia with its many attractions and abundant wildlife. The advice and planning from Cardboard Box travel ensured our trip was perfect. They were excellent from start to finish. Great advice and help couldn't ask for anything more. Allison helped create the perfect holiday.
The only thing they didn't do was stop us from coming home! We will be back.

Outstanding from beginning to end
I traveled alone (solo female) on a 14 day self-drive through Namibia and Botswana. With ample help from Cardboard Box, it was the trip of a lifetime. Everything was organized perfectly and accommodations were superb. I kept Norelle on her toes with plenty of questions and changes, but she was always prompt and organized. Highly, highly recommend.

A great experience
We did a 18-day drive tour through Namibia. We received a great assistance in planning and booking phase. Anita was always available and quick in responses. She also gave us a useful support and a lot of tips during the journey. A great experience with Cardboard Box Travel Shop Team.

Superb service from Cardboard Box
Extremely efficient.Could not have asked for more. We really gave Anita the runaround when changing bookings en route and she came out tops! The information we received was much more than we expected and came as a surprise

Self-drive trip thru Namibia
Unable to find a tour that fitted our desired itinerary and the time frame, I contacted several tourist agencies and among them the Cardboard Box Travel Shop. My initial inquiry was responded by Erika of Cardboard Box Travel Shop within hours, with a wide array of options not received from other companies. Erika was on top of each question I had and she provided invaluable advice pertaining to the driving distances and lodges. Simply, she provided answers and tips just about everything I asked and beyond. Our Vouchers for the lodges were delivered promptly to our hotel along with a road map of Namibia. The roads on the map were highlighted and each lodge and attraction was clearly indicated. In addition, the package contained a pre-paid telephone SIM card in case we experienced a mechanical break-down or other emergency. All lodges (as well as the Strand Hotel in Swakopmund) were outstanding. Also, I have to mention that we arrived at Kulala Desert Lodge later than anticipated and just before the Lodge attendant was preparing to send a vehicle with a crew to search nearby roads for possibly stranded tourists. If we are to travel again in Namibia, the Cardboard Box Travel Shop will be the only Travel agency we will contact.

Super Support
I googled to design my 2-weeks Namibia trip and came across Cardboard Box (among some other local and German agencies). Cardbox came back most solid with best advise and the perfect support against my specs and budget. My itinery foresaw stays in Etosha but Etosha was fully booked. CArdboard Box had capacity still and given their service responsiveness and price competitiveness I booked my entire trip via them. Also during the travels I had to change a location and their rep helped me tremendously to rebook while we were travelling. Excellent handling of our trip !

Cardboard Box Travel Shop was great!
Anita was fantastic! We were so excited about this trip and were often not sure which option to go with. She patiently guided us through all the choices. The guide book that was included in our arrival kit was also very useful.
It wouldn't be an adventure if it didn't have unexpected things come up, and the Cardboard Box handled the one hiccup we had with a B&B extremely professionally and resolved the issue for us. Overall we had a wonderful time in Namibia and it was largely thanks to the expert guidance provided by Anita and her team.

A true gem in the travel industry
I cannot recommend Cardboard Box Travel Shop highly enough. My travel consultant was Lily. It started with a brief phone call (UK to Namibia !) and Lily suggested I detail my needs in an e mail so she could review and respond. Lily was outstanding. She was quite simply one of the best travel consultants I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She worked quickly and efficiently on all our requests. More importantly she was pro active rather than just reactive... a rare quality.. We had a brilliant trip - we will certainly use them when we are next visiting Namibia.
