High expectations - exceeded
Generally speaking Namibia turned out to be a fantastic country to visit with breathtaking, ever changing scenery, abundant wildlife, friendly people and providing a very high value for money. Lilly had concocted a two week tour for us which corresponded pretty exactly to what we wanted in terms of experiences and quality of lodging. All arrangements were easy to coordinate and we received all the information in a timely manner and to great detail. The self-drive option was great, allowing us to go at our own pace between lodges, much appreciated since we must have stopped every five minutes to enjoy the view along the way. The 4x4 rental car was in very good condition and the fridge in the back, powered by it's own battery with two days worth of autonomy, was a much welcome and useful feature for storing cold drinks and food for roadside snacks.
In short, the best vacation we've experienced ever and we can heartily recommend Great Explorations Namibia.

very well organized itinerary, reliable and excelent communication
Lilly of Great Explorations Namibia has a great ability to translate wishes of a trip to Namibia to a very well organized itinerary with reliable partners. The transport (self drive 4x4) that was organized was very reliable, the places we stayed were all of very high quality. Most importantly Lilly is a great communicator and was always available if we needed support. We highly recommend to use her organization to organize a Trip to Namibia.

this last trip to Namibia was just as remarkable as the others. in the 22 years that we have been bringing travelers to this country, we have not known a more efficient and serious organizer than Lilly!
a peak of responsiveness and availability!

Very Professional - would highly recommend them.
Namibia 2024 Tour: Thank you so much Great Explorations for attending to all our reservations for us, (apart from Luderitz & Solitaire) . We did a self-drive budget tour which was great. However, thumbs up, Namibia is not a cheap country to visit, as a South African.
* Hobas Campsite, Fish River Canyon - Campsite stands were not clearly marked out, & very dusty. (Because of no markings, we had 2 German tourists camping on our stand!) Personally, campsite costly & disappointing, albeit in close proximity to the Fish River Canyon. This was not our 1st option, regretfully, Canyon Roadhouse our first choice was fully booked.
*Aus Haven & Rest Camp - Absolutely wonderful with beautiful private ablution. Highly recommended.
* Shark Island, Luderitz - Own Arrangement - what a mistake! Luderitz is so windy that you cannot camp despite the campsite being beautiful. We were saddened that we were not advised, prior to booking and paying directly about the howling winds. Had we known this, we would never have camped. After the 1st night we packed up and left.
*Duwisib Guestfarm - Fantastic - lovely campsite overlooking the Duwisib castle with such peace and quietness. Only 1 stand has electricity.
*Jansen Kalahari Guest farm campsite - Disappointing. Very sandy campsite (no paving nor grass anywhere), ablutions not great - unpaved walking to & from ablutions.
*Elegant Desert Camp, Sossusvlei - Beautiful campsite with lovely ablutions. Winds are difficult to navigate.
*Lagoon Chalets & Caravan Park, Walvis Bay - Very nice indeed. Stunning & modern ablutions with laundromat.
*Alte Brucke Campsite, Swakopmund - A gem. Beautiful grassed stands with private ablutions.
*Daureb Isib Campsite, Uis - Very pleasant with own private ablution.
*Elisenheim Guestfarm, Windhoek- Disappointing so did not camp there despite paying. Found new campsite at Urban Camp which was absolutely amazing.
*The White House, Gruanau - Disappointing
*Amanzi River Trail Campsite, Noordoewer - Superb. Fantastic huge, grassed stands overlooking the Orange River. Tranquility at its best. Pleasant ablutions & very friendly owners.

Hassle free travel in Namibia
Great Explorations Namibia is definitely your go to travel agency for travelling in Namibia.
Lilly will personally tailor a trip of a lifetime for you and your fellow travelers. All of her recommendations were great and the accommodation we stayed in, the cars we hired, the activities we experienced were great. Lilly personally met us in Windhoek and had had great packs provided to us which included route maps, vouchers, personalised itineraries, directions on how to drive to all the places and what we would see along the way. It made for a very stress free trip.
Don't bother with the hassle of trying to come up with a trip yourself, do yourself a big favour and use Great Explorations Namibia. They have all the inside knowledge and have visited all of the places many times and know Namibia inside and out.

Whistle-stop tour through the Kalihari, Namibia & Skeleton Coast deserts
Great Explorations organised a (customised) 7-day self drive safari in Namibia for us. They helped us plan out how we could visit highlight locations, and organised the entire itinerary. I have to say, they provided a really excellent service; it was good value for money and every part ran like clockwork. Many thanks!
