This company used to be great but has now gone bust
Discover Namibia used to be a great and trustworthy operator for years. We happened to be one of its last customers before the company went bust and feel like we should give an honest opinion and alert others that this company is no longer in operation. Our trip was not without hiccups because clearly the company was struggling at the time we went, but we were lucky enough to complete our trip. It appeared like we were one of the last ones who did, as numerous customers have had their deposits and payment lost after this.
Gemma was not a scammer but unfortunately Discover Namibia is lost now.

Scammer
I have had the same experience as so many others. Paid for a trip, tried to go on the trip and no response from Gemma and no trip. It was not a cheap trip so what happened to all the money she stole from so many people and is there some way to retrieve the money through the legal system? She didn’t even bother to contact us to tell us we could not go on the trip. Beware if you see her name linked to any tours or companies.

There is an error which needs to be corrected.
We booked Waterberg Plateau Lodge in February 2020 for November of that year. The trip has been postponed multiple times and is now rescheduled for April 2023. Upon contacting Waterberg to change our dates, we were informed they never received payment for the original visit. We had submitted our payment to Discover Namibia Tours and Safaris on February 10, 2020, directly to Gemma Dry. We have been unable to contact her to either have our funds reimbursed to us or transferred to Waterberg Plateau Lodge as they should have been in 2020. I have read in Trip Advisor of others having similar issues with contacting her or the company.
