They are absolutely awesome.
Dunas Safaris is absolutely awesome. We went on Safari in 2017, we worked closely with the Dunas team to work out our Safari and to make sure everything was as we wanted it. It turned out to be even better, everything was unbelievable. The Dunas Team, the Accommodation, The Safari itself was special, JP insisted there were some things we shouldn't miss out on and he was right. Sylvia's recommendations on certain things were also great.
I nearly drove JP mad with changing everything and he was always very helpful and couldn't do enough for us, and guess what, our experience was that good we are heading back to Africa in 2020, but with 6 other friends, we are going to make contact with Dunas again, sorry JP, I promise I wont be as painful as last time. Speak to you soon.

Helpful preparation, flawless execution!!
We started with a group of 2 and ended with a team of 8. Some experienced in the African ways, others complete neophytes. Four Canadians and four Germans. Our brief was simple but ambitious: a 3-week self-driving tour of Namibia and Botswana with emphasis on game parks, the Okavango region and the Sossusvlei red dunes. Dunas Safari proposed an initial itinerary and worked with us to adapt it to our requirements, with very helpful insights and advice from João Pedro (owner) and Janine (travel coordinator) - as the size of our group grew, we evolved from one to two 4-wheel-drive SUVs and Dunas managed the challenge of accommodating the whole group in the same lodges along our journey. Dunas Safari managed this extremely well and we ended up with a series of lodges of excellent calibre without breaking the bank. They took care to ensure that each stop afforded the safari experience that we expected with a combination of dawn and dusk game drives and river cruises. During our trip, one of us celebrated a birthday and one of the couples celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary - behind the scenes, Dunas Safari worked with the lodges to provide an unforgettable performance of African dance for the birthday evening and an exquisite bush dinner in the middle of a game reserve for the wedding anniversary. Delightful. At Dunas's recommendation, we booked a hot air balloon ride over Sossusvlei - though not cheap, it is worth every penny, for the unique perspective on this breathtaking landscape. Janine and João Pedro were tireless in their support and constant follow-up of our adventure, maintaining contact, providing guidance along the way and watching over our shoulder to make us feel comfortable and safe. We can't say enough good things about Dunas Safari and highly recommend them for excursions in this magnificent part of the world!!

A wonderful Honeymoon
We asked Dunas Safari to organize our honeymoon.
After contact with the team, we arrived in Windhoek where we were expected by Andrew who would follow us at a distance along the trip.
They had the kindness to come back on Sunday to Windhoek to give us the briefing of the trip, giving us great advice.
The booked hotels were of high quality, and the activities were great. We let ourselves be carried away by the super organization of JP and his colleagues.
Thank you to them for making our honeymoon so special.

Welcoming, Supportive and Helpful before and throughout our self-drive adventure in Namibia!
Damas Safari were the first to answer a query I sent to a number of operators when I was first interested in going to Namibia. From day one JP was helpful - with suggestions and ideas for our trip. We had left it rather late (June) to start booking lodges for the peak season (August) but JP and his team did their best to accommodate us and planned a really exciting itinerary for our 16 days - starting in Windhoek - Mariental - Soussusviei - Swakopmund - Etosha - Mahango- Okinjima - Waterberg -Windhoek. We would be travelling independently - confdent in our driving skills having had years of experience of desert driving in the Middle East We were met at the airport by Salem who actualy drove our hired car back to the hotel knowig we were tired after our extended journey. Next morning the amazing Dr. Andrew met us (JP also came to say hello) - with maps, tips and a really helpful extended briefing. My luggage had not arrived with me and Andrew immediately took over tracking it. He sorted out the puncture that had appeared in our brand new hired car overnight - made sure we had a sim card- and we were sent on our way with instructions to contact him regularly - and we did! Each day he booked and organised specific tours for us as we requested. He answered our random questions about directions - even though he had marked the map clearly for the journey - colour coded! He supported us through a car breakdown near Outjo. He got our car replaced overnight when our windscreen was shattered in Etosha Park. He personally tracked and ensured that my wayward luggage was finally sent on to Sossusviei. He texted us regularly just to say good morning! He met with us when we got back to Windhoek. All of this with good humour and grace! We were delighted with the personal level of support and service that Andrew and Dunas Safari gave us. As independent and resourceful women we could have manged without support, however Andrew's support meant that we did not have to spend time on any of the everyday organization that it is inevitiable when undertaking such a journey - we drove over 4000 km ! Each day was amazing and there were so many highlights on our trip - Etosha (especially the elephants at the waterhole in Okaukuejo and spotting the African Wildcat!), Okinjima (tracking the leopards - the cheetahs - the Bush Camp!), the combi tour in Walvis Bay - Hippos on the Kavango River...I could go on and on! Namibia, its landscapes and most importantly the hospitality of its people make each day an adventure!

Orchestrates unforgettable experiences and goes above and beyond to ensure a perfect journey
Absolutely thrilled with the incredible honeymoon experience Dunas Safari organised for us in Namibia! We booked the 9-Day Fly and Drive Deserts and Safari tour, and from start to finish, every aspect of our trip was flawlessly executed, surpassing all our expectations and leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime.
Despite an unexpected flight delay for our inbound international flight to Namibia with Lufthansa (which was not booked for us by Dunas Safari), the Dunas Safari team's communication and efforts were truly remarkable. Due to the delay, we arrived in Namibia 24 hours later than planned, but they seamlessly adjusted our itinerary and ensured that the rest of our tour proceeded as smoothly as possible, demonstrating their dedication to providing exceptional service.
We want to send an extra special thank you to JP, Andrew, and Sylvia for their help and kindness before, during, and after our trip to Namibia. Their unwavering support and attention to detail truly made our journey extraordinary.
The attention to detail that Dunas Safari exhibited was evident throughout our journey. They meticulously crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, relaxation, and romance, ensuring that every moment was tailored to our preferences. We were able to explore the mesmerising landscapes of Namibia, from the otherworldly dunes of Sossusvlei to the captivating wildlife in Etosha National Park, all while enjoying the comfort of excellent accommodations that reflected the natural beauty surrounding us.
The knowledge and expertise of the guides on our tours were second to none. Their passion for the country and its wildlife was infectious, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had a deep and immersive experience. They shared fascinating insights about the local culture, flora, and fauna, making each excursion not just a tour, but a journey of discovery.
Booking our honeymoon with Dunas Safari turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Their professionalism, warmth, and commitment to crafting a personalised and unforgettable experience made all the difference. If you're looking for a travel company to take your Namibia travel dreams and turn them into a reality beyond your imagination, look no further than Dunas Safari. We are endlessly grateful for the memories they've helped us create and would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Never found a better Tour Operator in all my life.
This was the second tour organized by Dunas Safari for me and my group of nine persons. The tour was fantastic, spetacular, awesome in all aspects. The guide/driver - Andrew-was excelent. Nice, always ready to answer our questions and always with a smile. The tour took us to fantastic places. Walvis Bay, the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei, Dune 45, Sesriem Cannyon, and of course Eticha Park. The Lodges were gorgeous with nices buffets for dinner etc. Summing up: a memorable tour in a very interesting country.
