Amazing Trip at Short Notice
After Namibia was removed from the high risk country list the German health department maintains for COVID-19, I was keen on visiting the Deadvlei and Etosha. I had a look at Tripadvisor, Wild Wing Safaris had an impeccable track record. So I reached out to them, and Philip provided at very short notice a memorable trip across the country.
Even if the distances are huge (2500km in 8 days), it was still fun given the vast amount of anecdotes he was able to tell. He also had a keen eye for spotting even the tiniest shawows of an animal. He also put me in great positions for some excellent shots (sunrise at Dune 45 comes to mind).
I'll probably visit Nambia again - this time it was Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Etosha. I'm still eager to see the NP in the Caprivi Strip, possibly in combination with Botswana/Zimbabwe. I'll definitely reach out to Philip again to get his advice.

Wonderful trip to Namibia
We have just returned from an excellent trip to Namibia and South Africa.
Philip from Wild Wind Safaris put together an excellent itinerary for us for the Namibia part of our trip. The booking process was easy and Philip added in an extra night for us at the end of the trip, very late in the day, when I discovered I had booked an incorrect flight date for my travel to South Africa.
Seven was our wonderful guide. He was very polite, courteous and knowledgeable about Namibia and taught us a lot about his country as well as the wildlife.
Our trip included all meals and water in the vehicle. I would definitely recommend this option. We chose the mid range accommodation package which was adequate for our needs.
The vehicle we travelled in was relatively new and was comfortable. Seven kept it very clean and comfortable.

Best Safari Tour Operators
The level of service is top notch! The prices are very reasonable and ease of payment is second to none. Michael my tour operator was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He demonstrated utmost care in handling my trip and provided me with the best accommodations and top notch transfers. He took care of everything. Also, his professional service did not end when he received my final payment. He made sure that I was being taken care of during every step of my safari trip. He prepared a trip of a lifetime. I will never forget this amazing experience to this beautiful continent and it was all thanks to Michael at Wild Wings Safaris. I highly encourage you to use their services. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed! They are simply the BEST!!!!

Fantastic safari and tour around Namibia
My girlfriend and I have booked 10 days tour Namibia Top attractions.
Since the first time I have contacted Philip, he was always answering quickly to all my questions and doubts.
Once in Namibia, the tour from beginning to end was perfect.
Our car (Toyota Fortuner) was new and comfortable. The lodges where we have stayed where fantastic.
Our guide, Seven, is a fantastic person and he is a knowledgeable guide. We have learned a lot of things about Namibia.
He was always driving very carefully and safely.
He was always putting a lot of effort to show us the best places and things to visit, specially during the safari in Etosha National Park.
Thanks to him and his knowledge, we have seen a lot of animals.
Thanks Philip, Seven and Wild Wind Safaris for this wonderful experience. We won't never forget.

competent and friendly care while watching the best places in Namibia
Jeżeli do Namibii to koniecznie z Wild Wind Safari. Philip zorganizował dla naszej 7 osobowej grupy fantastyczną wyprawę , taką jaka sobie wymarzyliśmy. Spaliśmy w domkach i pod namiotami, jedliśmy w restauracjach i grilowaliśmy przy ognisku (oczywiście dziczyznę !). Wszędzie było nam cudownie: miejsca bardzo ciekawe, a noclegi jak w "Pożegnaniu z Afryką". Nigdy nie zapomnę "spektaklu" wschodu słońca odsłaniającego piękne rude wydmy koło Sossuvlai , czy też wodospadu Epupa, potężnego i zadziwiającego kolorami o zachodzie, rewelacja! W Etosha Parku widzieliśmy dosłownie wszystkie gatunki zwierząt: lwy , nosorożce, gepardy itd i to dzięki doświadczeniu Philipa , który widział i słyszał wszystko. Jeszcze raz szczerze polecam wyjazd z Philipem.On kocha to co robi , kocha kraj , w którym mieszka i chce się tym podzielić i dlatego to wyprawa była tak udana.

Amazing experience!
I with my family ( six people all together) have travelled with Wild Wind Safaris two times, both visits lasted two weeks. First time it was in 2010 and the second in the 2013, the first trip was to Namibia and Zambia and the second to Namibia and Botswana. I can say that my whole family was extremely satisfied with the quality of services provided by this small and thus extraordinary firm. Our guide, Filip, is not only an extremely experienced guide, but also a fascinating person, with whom we had plenty of discussions about all kind of topics. The trip consists of experiences of many kinds: the contact with the magnificent african wild nature, the trip to native african tribes but also extreme sports like riding the quads in the desert or parachute jumping. The biggest advantage of this company is that it has an individual approach towards its clients and it is capable of providing anything you want to do in Africa. The experience and knowledge of our guide gave us also a sense of safety, because he knew how to handle local autorities and crazy african administration but also he helped us with our encounters with black mambas, elephants and all the other wild animals that you will meet there. Generally speaking, I truly recommend this touristic company, especially if you want to see something more than what is offered in the most popular touristic paths!!!

Wonderful Wild Wind Safaris
This was a last minute booking to Namibia with my wife. I am a professional photographer with National Geographic and was looking to take photos around Namibia. I really don't think I could have picked a better tour operator. Philip and Martha (the owners) made the whole process so easy, even though this was last minute. Our guide was Martha, who I have to say is one of the nicest, most kind and helpful woman I have ever met. Her knowledge of Namibia, its cultures, history and wildlife are amazing. Martha was unbelievably helpful to us in trying to get the best photos throughout the holiday. Martha was always trying to be available whatever the time and place I needed to take shots. In terms of bookings of accommodation, Wild Wind safaris went out of their way to secure the best spots for me, even at the late stage of booking. And in terms of photography, Martha really was so flexible and knowledgeable in helping me find and photograph all the main species. Thank you so much, I WILL be back very soon! :-)

Fantastic Experience in Namibia
I and my parent spent 7 nights with Mr. Phillip (Wild Wind Safaris) to travel through Namibia.
It was very nice experience and we will never forget this memory.
- The view in Sossusvlei was very beautiful, especially during the sunset and sunrise.
- The dolphin tour with mola mola and flight tour in Swakopmund were very fun
- seal colony in cape was very intersting.
- There were many kinds of animals in Etosha Safaris such as lion, rhino, leopard, elephant and etc.
Thanks for making the fantasic memory in Namibia.
We want to travel through Namibia with Wild Wind Safaris again.

Traveling
Traveling through Namibia was a fascinating experience. I enjoyed my camping and accommodated tour, traditional, Namibian food prepared and served in an open air and wonderful outdoor atmosphere. I really enjoyed welcoming, friendly people and culture. My camping in Etosha was set up at Halali near waterhole and we spent most of the days traversing through the park from view point to view point, which was great! Although our group was travelling during rainy season I enjoyed viewing abundant wildlife everywhere! I also enjoyed coast and dunes, especially sandboarding in the dunes, even at my age as I'm considered a senior. Food served on tour was excellent, I especially appreciate quick, efficient and personal service, which I met at Wild Wind Safaris. Due to their efforts and their personal love for Africa, I have now Africa forever embedded in my heart and am already planning my next trip!
