A Rip-Roaring Namibian Safari with Lark Journeys
We recently embarked on an incredible safari adventure through Namibia with Lark Journeys, and were thoroughly impressed. From the moment we landed in Windhoek to the final day, every aspect of the trip was flawlessly executed. From the time we made our booking, Claire and her crew helped us with every stage of the planning with their prompt replies and patient guidance.
The itinerary was well-paced, hitting all the must-see spots. From the towering dunes of Sossusvlei to the rugged coast of Sandwich Harbour, and the diverse wildlife of Etosha National Park, Namibia's diverse landscapes are a sight to behold. This place has it all: land, sea, desert, and even the air!
The accommodations were comfortable and luxurious, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The meals were delicious and catered to various dietary preferences.
Our tour guide, Willem, was exceptional. He had an uncanny ability to spot wildlife, and his knowledge of the region was impressive. He shared some fascinating stories about the history and culture of Namibia, which added a lot of depth to the experience.
We especially appreciated the smaller group size, which allowed for a more personalized and intimate experience. It was easy to strike up conversations with fellow travelers and share stories around the dinner table over a sumptuous meal.
I highly recommend Lark Journeys to anyone seeking a memorable safari experience in Namibia. Their commitment to providing top-notch service and creating unforgettable journeys is evident in every detail.
A truly memorable experience!
What a fantastic tour! The scenery was breathtaking and, for game viewing, Etosha has it all - there is really no need to go to Tanzania or Kenya!! Our guide, Willem, was excellent - very knowledgeable and kind. The size of our group was perfect and the accommodation, almost everywhere we stayed, was top notch. For quality and value, this tour is truly superior tours offered by some of the larger operators, and it is always nice to go with a local operator!
Fantastic experience through the beauties of Namibia
I knew that Namibia was an exceptional country but what made our trip truly unforgettable was the professionalism and kindness of Claire who, during the organization phase, was able to answer all my doubts and requests, and the friendliness and competence of Abel, our prepared and always available guide/driver. The organization was impeccable, from the transfers to/from the airport to the choice of top-level lodges. Namibia still has so much to offer and I will definitely know who to trust when I decide to return!!

Unforgettable experience
Everything was beyond our expectations! Claire was so helpful with planning our last-minute trip to Namibia. She asked the right questions then provided us with some options to choose from. She also tailored some parts of the plan to suit our interests and requests. Our guide, Morne, was very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. His flexibility made our trip memorable. Thank you Lark Journeys for providing us the great opportunity to explore the beauty of Namibia.

Amazing Week!
We spent three weeks traveling around Southern Africa for our honeymoon, and our week in Namibia with Lark Journeys was far and away our favorite week. Our guide Elvis was so knowledgable and has truly seen every inch of Namibia. All of the accommodations were way beyond our expectations, and they were all lovely to rest in after a long day's drive. If you're planning on visiting Namibia, you won't regret booking with Claire and Lark!

It has been the best of our experiences with a service like Lark Journeys.
Lark Journeys think of everything from day 1 at the airport to your return. The whole time we felt safe and relaxed as they had everything organized. The service is super punctual, friendly and they are always looking out for you. I recommend it 100%.

Brilliant 17 day 4x4 journey across Namibia!
Claire and Lark Journeys are the best! My girlfriend and I went on a self drive, 17 day, road trip around Namibia organised by Lark Journeys. I had in mind several places and activities I wanted to do whilst in Namibia. I provided this, along with a general budget, to Claire who suggested an itinerary . The communication was very quick, clear and transparent. My girlfriend being South Korean meant she needed a visa unlike myself as a Brit but Claire helped us sort this out with ease.
Claire met us at the airport with lots of maps, useful info, travel guides and a mobile SIM which made our lives so much easier setting off in the car. We opted to do roughly 50:50 between lodges and camping so we hired a 4x4 with a roof top tent which was easy to pick up and never failed us on the way round.
Claire was always on the end of the phone whenever we needed any help or suggestions. She recommended lots of nice places to eat, cafes you'd miss if you didn't know they were there and most importantly, helped us when the occasional issue came up with bookings on the 3rd party end. We had one incident with some problematic police officers which Claire helped resolve through a phone call with one of the officers. This help in itself was worth booking with Lark Journeys!
Thanks to Claire and Lark Journeys we had the trip of a lifetime and we're already thinking about heading back next year for round 2!

Choose Lark Journeys! 11 day private guided tour with Rich (best tour guide ever!)
My husband and I did a custom 11 day private guided tour across Namibia, and it was the trip of a lifetime!
Here's why we're so grateful we went with Lark...
Planning: We emailed about 5-6 different tour operators, but ultimately went with Lark, as we felt the best level of customer service with Claire through our email exchange. She was highly responsive, which was important for us, as we were booking fairly last minute (about 3 weeks before departure), so wanted to get things ironed out quickly so we could confirm our flights. With the time difference vs Toronto, I always woke up with her response in my inbox first thing in the morning. As we specifically knew what we wanted to see, we landed on a custom tour, and I had very specific questions. Claire was very organized in her responses to my questions (which was not the case with all the operators). In addition, she was able to flexibly adjust some of our accommodations to match/fit our preferences and budget, so that we could experience exactly the trip we wanted.
Now, for the actual adventure itself - everything was amazing from start to finish! We were promptly picked up at the airport. Claire walked us through our itinerary, and left us with a printed copy for easy reference. Rich was our guide/driver and he is truly a huge part of why this was such an amazing trip! We've had private guides in other places in Africa and elsewhere in the world, and we can truly say Rich is THE BEST guide we've ever had! Spending 11 days straight with him was easy, comfortable, and lovely. He didn't talk too much or too little, and clearly knows how to adjust to his audience. He's very good at reading people, and his level of helpfulness is unmatched. There were countless occasions where he addressed an issue before we even thought it to be an issue. Small example, but he'd notice I was missing a spoon, and take care of it before I even noticed I needed one. He would also help other tourists/strangers (ex. there was a 4x4 vehicle that got stuck in the sand, and he was able to easily, quickly, and proactively help them). His knowledge of all things Namibia and wildlife was also extremely impressive. For example, in Damaraland, he was able to read elephant tracks and easily find where the herd was, making for a memorable sighting. We were also able to get an amazing up-close encounter with lions, due to his knowledge and being able to anticipate where they would cross the road. Lastly, I had a request to try a local food, and he went out of his way to make it happen. There are countless other examples of how helpful Rich was - he is truly a GEM, and the best of the best!
Overall, Namibia is an amazing mix of scenery, adventure, nature, and wildlife. And no doubt you'll be able to experience/see these things no matter what tour operator you go with. But the difference maker (especially if you're doing a multi-day tour) is in the service, especially as you spend many hours with the guide. And that's why we're so glad we went with Lark! Thank you Claire and Rich for making this the trip of our dreams! Highly recommend Lark Journeys!
P.S. We also tacked on 4 days afterwards to see Chobe & Vic Falls. Lark was able to organize everything for this part of the trip for us as well.

Friendly, knowledgeable and professional travel/tour company based in Windhoek, Namibia.
From the first contact that I made I knew that this was the tour company which would provide the trip me and my friend had been looking for.
We wanted a bespoke eight day, seven night private guided tour to Damaraland over to Etosha region then eventually winding our way back to Windhoek. The accommodation on route was excellent and surpassed our expectations.
Claire and Greg organised everything including an English speaking guide in Willem, who completed his task with relish. His driving and guiding skills were supurb as was his knowledge of all things geographical, wildlife and flora.
I can only speak very highly of Lark Journeys and sincerely hope to use them again in the future.
