Superb experience and would work with them again in a heartbeat
I had an amazing trip with Great Explorations Namibia. Before the trip, they were very responsive and worked with me to create an outstanding itinerary where I was able to experience a tremendous amount in a short amount of time, without feeling rushed. The guide Christie was also very professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about the beauty of Namibia. I highly, highly, highly recommend this company and am already thinking of going back!

Experienced Safari Agency
We had an amazing trip to Namibia that exceeded all our expectations. Great Explorations Namibia was instrumental in making our experience truly magical. Their detailed guide, tips, and assistance made our trip smooth and hassle-free. All the accommodations they recommended were perfect.
Although we are experienced travellers, we felt that, in this case, we could benefit from Great Explorations Namibia's first-hand experience and expertise. They helped tailor a trip to our preferences and avoid unexpected surprises. They were very flexible and accommodating in reviewing the proposed itinerary based on our feedback and on the specific stops we wanted to make, providing advice on how to realistically fit everything into our schedule.
All the accommodations they suggested were special and unique, and everything was well-organized and thought-through. Great Explorations Namibia's level of expertise was exactly what we needed for this sort of trip. We are grateful for all the help and recommendations, and we look forward to returning in the future, perhaps to explore Botswana with Great Explorations Namibia's assistance again.

EXTREMELY efficent and reliable, the best!
Me and my friends found Great Explorations Namibia on the web by chance. We could’t be more happy for the choice and experience!
Allison planned perfectly an amazing trip to Namibia and Botswana, every detail of our itinerary was customized.
We had 3 fantastic weeks of adventures… we hope to come back soon!

Efficient and itinerary was exactly what we wanted.
Excellent communication from Allison, who organised the trip for us. It was exactly what we wanted. The accommodation was really good and set in some of the most incredible scenery. If you want to get away from noise and just listen to the wind, birds and other wild life, then this is the place to go. Good value for money.

Amazing trip
Lilly was so helpful and gave us a lot of advice as it was our first time in Namibia. She organised Hotels in Windhoek, airport transfers and our 4 wheel drive vehicle with roof tent through Classic cars. Everything went so smooth and the truck gave us 2500 miles of trouble free driving over 3 weeks. We would be happy to recommend great exploration
Excellent communication with Lilly for understanding our requests and delivering to perfection.
A dream holiday in an amazing country. Everything was perfectly arranged, we were handed a detailed tour guide which we consulted each day of our holiday. At no time we doubted that what we were given would not work out and we were expected with our names at each destination and for each activity booked. Lilly planned everything so we were not rushing to fit everything in as our time there was only two weeks and we travelled more than 4000 k and experienced the best of Namibia. Our car was comfortable and never let us down once and sharing the driving was fun! Having a car enabled us to have the freedom to discover also parts which were not obvious even though Lilly's guidelines on where to go and what to do were excellent. I highly recommend them. Thank you.

Extremely efficient and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended
Lilly of Great Explorations was extremely patient with us in providing us in advance with an itinerary plan for every day we intended to spend in Namibia. On top of booking us a car and working out a 4000km driving course over 15 days, that included multiple destinations, she also booked most of our activities (safaris, hot air ballon adventure, canoeing with sea lions, 4X4 dune driving). Everything worked out perfectly. I still cannot believe that not one thing went wrong. Every accommodation we stayed at was value for money, our activities were better than expected. The one hitch we had with one of our accommodations, Lilly handled it perfectly to our satisfaction and beyond our expectation. I cannot overemphasise how useful it was that Lilly gave us on the outset a folder with clear and precise information containing leaflets about our accommodation and our planned activities , maps and detailed route description to follow from destination to destination.
Thank you Lilly, you made our trip to Namibia an unforgettable one.

Allison provided us with good service and advice for a safe and eventful safari.
We were first time traveller to Namibia. Allison responded quickly on our request, doing a self drive safari.
Allison answered our questions and changes, gave us good advice, and together we made a schedule for 18 days, with interesting drive thru the wonderful Namibian desert and coast.
We included the south, to Luderitz and Kolmanskop, which we can recommend, also route D707 on the way to Desert camp.
Swakopmund, Skeleton coast and Etosha. Cheetha view lodge was a great surprise, on the way back to Windhoek.
All lodges had very good standard, and our Toyota Raider, was well equipped, suitable on a Gravel-Travel safari like this.
We can recommend Allison and their crew, they provided all necessary assistance, with a great value for the money.

Extremely well informed and responsive both in the booking stage and once on the ground.
Had a great time planning this trip with Allison, she came back very fast with an extremely detailed itinerary, which we barely tweaked.
Communication was first class, and during the trip Allison responded immediately to help us out on several occasions. The car, lodges, planned activities all met and exceeded expectations. On reflection we perhaps had one stop too many at the beginning of our tour, and perhaps should have missed the Kalahari, going straight to the Namib, and spending Xmas day in Windhoek and recovering from the flight for another 24 hours.
Our absolute favourite lodge was Mushara, great staff, great digs and the best food we had. Highly recommended.
Absolute highlight was lions in Etosha and unreal elephant interaction by Namuteni.
Loved every minute, and awesome value for money.
We will be back to explore Fish River Canyon one of these days.

Reliable, offering the best at the competitive price.
Great Explorations Namibia (GEN) perfectly arranged our unforgetable holiday - and not only in Namibia!
We started with 9 days self-drive in Namibia, then we continued in Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe and Zambia) and Chobe NP (Botswana).
Lilly always made the right choice for us - in every country.
All accommodations, transfers, excursions and car rental company were top class, great value for money.
It was the last minute booking, but it worked out very well!
GEN is a gem! Reliable and supporting. Truly recommend.
