Phenomenal experience which will treasure for life
5/5

People's Tour & Safari provided me with an unforgettable five-day safari experience to Etosha. The communication was impeccable, and they were able to book me a tailor made safari tour exactly to my requirements. I was picked up from the airport, driven to my overnight air bnb in Windhoek, and then driven the following morning to Etosha, where I spent four nights and five days. I had the honour and privilege to be accompanied by Fanuel, who is an expert tour guide and through his deep knowledge and experience of the park, we were able to spot all the Big 4 that the park has to offer. Fanuel very much became a friend as well as a guide, and looked after my every need. I felt incredibly well looked after, and he was able to accommodate special requests which I had on the go such as tasting traditional Namibian cooking and visiting traditional tribe villages. At the end of the tour, Fanuel and the company organised my final night in Windhoek before taking me directly to the airport the next day for my return home. This experience was incredible value for money, the service was fantastic, and it is an experience which I shall carry with for the rest of my life, so I am forever grateful to People's Tour & Safari, as well as Fanuel, both of which I cannot recommend more. Thank you to them, and I hope other travellers will follow in my footsteps to experience the animals and sites of Namibia.

Wonderful experience!!
5/5

The tour was well-organized and I really enjoyed a tour. I could cover all places where I wanted to go, and all activities and views are just wonderful. My guide was very professional and a perfect guide to me - he took care of me all the time and prepared everything in advance. I like Namibia more through this tour and would like to come back again!!

Amazing
5/5

It was a very beautiful holiday, beyond all my expectations! I went on a solo private tour with People's Tour and Safaris and everything was perfectly thought through, we stayed in beautiful lodges, had the best road trips and the best experience overall. My tour guide was Leonard, it felt like I was traveling with a friend. We had a great adventure together, loved everything about it. He showed me beautiful places and found amazing wildlife in Etosha.

They undersell it. Out guide Leonard was first class . Really nice guy
5/5

Our guide Leonard picked us from airport and dropped us to our hotel in Windhoek. Picked us next morning and drove to etosha . Stopped and identified any animals we saw that evening . We saw rhino and lions as well as many game that evening. The following day was a full safari . He didn't follow all other crowds on WhatsApp group but used his knowledge to navigate the park where he went out of his way to find animals we saw everything we had hoped to see , lions , elefant, rhino, spotted hyena , giraffe, zebra , and loads of game animals including springbok being chased by a group of 3 cheetah . Spectacular We had dinner at night with him and good chats and he drove us to our beautiful accomodation in swakopmund the next day. The whole experience was first class as was Leonard.
Highly recommend

Custom-Tailored Tour with an Experienced and Motivated Guide
5/5

From the onset, Berlinda was able to customize our tour to fit the desired dates and sites, for a comparatively good value. Leonard was our guide and he greeted us at the airport with a sign and maps outlining our tour. Leonard drove a clean, comfortable and spacious Nissan 4x4 truck. Throughout our trip, Leonard was a great host and on top of every detail, from booking breakfast in advance to knowing the itinerary by memory. Leonard took great pictures and drove us anywhere we wanted to go. I would recommend People's Tours and Leonard to anyone looking to explore the country by car with a guide.

Gave us the best support to make our experiences in Namibia singular
5/5

Thank you, People's Tour & Safari for excellent coordination for personalizing the tour, accepting our request to add Swakopmund to the Sossusvlei, where we cooked together Mozambican chicken peanut curry and xima with coconut milk, accompanied by the chef's special sautéed vegetables in the camp. Overland of Namibia from Windhoek, crossing the Namib desert to the Atlantic for 4 days required much driving hours, techniques and concentration to execute a safe and pleasant trip. Thank you Mr. Fanuel for being a big brother to us, teaching us Namibian nature, culture and society during our trip and for your eagerness to learn about where we came from. Now at the end of September in Mozambique as the burning sun rays and unpredictable raining pattern have shown the climate chaneges, I am reflecting on our trip in Namibia that took place in last May, dry and cold nights. My lips got very rough and bled, "Gosh, they look like fire wood", my friend described them in the best restaurant in Swakopmund and all started to laugh. In desert camp, my friend left his boots out of the tent in the evening, just for a while, and when he came out, a boot was missing. Right way Mr. Fanuel with a search light went around the site, saying that a Jacko could have taken away. Luckly he found it in a bush. Even with that experience, he went to sleep leaving his sandals out of his tent after having brushed his teeth. Next morning I saw him walk around in one sandal, stepping with one barefoot on the cold sand, without the second luck. Mr. Fanuel said, "I thought you had learned a lesson", again all laughed. I remember the uncountable stars in clean and cold air, red dunes, on the top of which I felt the evolution of the earth that has occured during millions years and my small being embraced. Paragliding towards the Atlantic where the oil exploration has been implemented, I glanced an aspect of Namibian development. Next time, I hope to get to know the Namibian people, their life style and culture in different regions.

A MUST USE NAMIBIAN TOUR COMPANY
5/5

I had the absolute pleasure of Booking a tour with People’s tours and safari for my solo trip in Namibia. Fanuel served as my guide. What a fantastic experience and a fantastic company and a fantastic guide! From the get go, everything went smoothly. I contacted the company and immediately got a response from Albin who was kind and incredibly helpful. He answered my questions and helped me with organizing the tour. Then I received my itinerary as well as the name and contact information for my guide. My guide showed up to get me for our Namibian desert adventure as he said he would. The three days touring and camping in the Namibian desert with Fanuel as my guide was AWESOME! He is such a warm soul. We had great conversations, listened to great music and just had general good vibes. This trip was my first time camping and Fanuel made it amazing. He also was incredible patience and helped me take the 10 million photos I wanted to take (haha), which is very important because a girl needs her photos. All the time we were on the adventure, I felt safe. He’s a great driver and tour guide and he went above and beyond to make my adventure an amazing one! 10/10 I highly recommend! Thanks Albin and many thanks Fanuel!

Well managed tour
5/5

3 Days - Windhoek- Sossusvlei - Windhoek Camping Guided Safari

It was well managed 3days tour for Dune 45, Big daddy, Deadvlei Sossusvlei, and Sandwich harbour.

Guide:
Fanuel had enough skills and experiences for this tour. He knows well about persons around the camp site of the park and it’s restaurant and thus he is reliable. He is friendly to everyone and willing to help with other travelers as well. I respect his attitude.

Drive:
Total driving distance of this tour was over 1,000km. And around 40% of them are gravel roads. You need to be prepared for them. But Fanuel’s drive was good because he drove safely and not too much speed. I was very comfortable with it.

Scenic points:
Sun set at Dune 45, Sunrise at Big daddy and view of sandwich harbor were magnificent. These are like another planet. Fanuel knew well about the timing of each points to go and thus I could smoothly see them without troubles. For example, if you see sunrise at Big daddy or Dune 45, you need to be in front of the gate at the time of gate open. To do this, you have to stay lodges or camp site inside the park. You also need 4x4 car. Fanuel well prepared for them on behalf of me, which was very convenient for me.

Camp site:
Although the tour was just me and the guide of Fanuel, he prepared tents for each other separately and I could stay there comfortably. I expected the night time was freezing cold but it was okay for me. I could sleep well without problems. We had dinner at the restaurant/bar of the camp site and the food was actually very good.

Overall:
I will definitely recommend this tour for the person who wants to view scenic points smoothly without stress.

Preparing for the tour
It’s better to bring followings with you.
•Small torch : to use inside the tent
•Camera which can take photos of stars: Stars at camp site is very beautiful. But smartphones cannot take photos of them.
•Small spoon: the breakfast prepared by the restaurant includes a cup of yogurt but not a spoon…

If you can fry in or out from Walvis bay airport instead of Windhoek, choose these flights since there are a few things to do in Windhoek.

It’s safe for me to travel with my guide.
3/5

I think my guide is average.
It’s my second time doing safari in Africa.
I paid quite a lot for a private tour this time as the designated dates and duration of group tour are quite hard to match my own schedule. But I feel a bit disappointed as I didn’t get better service than last time. I feel safe to be with my guide. But he definitely needs rooms of improvement for photo taking skills as the photos are often tilted for no reason.
Also my guide always asked me to help him take photos in my phone and then send him back. I think it’s an inappropriate action. It’s like a few times per day but not one or two times. I sometimes feel a bit annoyed about it as I’m not supposed to be his photographer. I’m the one who paid!
