Great organisation and service, amazing trip
Lilly worked hard to give us a customised itinerary taking in our requests and adding suggestions through lots of emails. It was reasonably priced and explained well.
She met us at the car rental facility to give us instructions and a nice personalised pack. She had also booked us a restaurant without us asking for the first night, perfect.
The trip ended up being fantastic, and she was available during the trip for clarifications and kindly resolved a booking issue at her own cost to make sure our trip went smoothly. The cars were great too.
I highly recommend Great Explorations - thanks Lilly!!

Super Professional and always assisting us. Wonderfull
Lilly and her team assist us for each single details of our trip. Namibia is an amazing country but you need someone locally that can support you. Great Exploration Namibia is really "customer oriented" Travel Agency. They know Country and Location and they can customize your experience

RELIABLE WITH EXCELENT SERVICE
we had a wonderful self drive vacantion that "great exploration namibia" organized for us.communication with anja was easy and she tried to answer at almost all our questions quickly .everything was well planned , the accommodations,the car , the transport from airport to hotel.
accomodations were as expected with one downside - - the mariott hotel was bad!!(lucky only for 1 night)'
also there were some long days of driving- i feel that landmarks or points of attractions were missing along the route that was given to us
we saw a lot of different species of animals, victoria falls and okavango delta from helicopter ,
the weather was perfect
i feel it was a good value for the money
thank you "great exploration namibia"

Great self drive trip
The first contact with Anja was very good, she perfectly met our expectations. It was very convenient to have a guide for our trip that Anja gave us upon our arrival, everything was well organized with a map, vouchers for hotels. We just would have liked to have been warned when booking that the nights could be very cold to sleep in a tent, I think if we had known we would not have chosen this option. Our car for our 14 days of travel was in very good condition and comfortable, and the staff friendly, they just arrived 30 minutes late to drop us off at the airport for our departure, but the driver did his best to ensure we were on time. Our stay went very well, the landscapes are incredible, however we do not recommend the hotels inside the Etosha National Park, the quality and service are not there for the price.

Excellent Service and perfect Star
I hired a 4 days tour in Windhoek, Sesriem & Sossusvlei. The suponer from Anja and Lilly was perfect, with quick response and resolution of any troubles/doubts.
Everything was correct, from the pick up in the AirPort to the hotels and shuttles.
Small things to improve:
- Londingini Guest House in Windhoek has glass bathroom doors, totally visible from the outside! Also this hotel also has a dinner option that is not worth for the offered price (330 NAD pp w/o bev).
- We chose the tent option in Namib Desert Lodge. The only thing to clarify here is that the tents are more than 500m away from the rest of the hotel and there is no phone signal or wifi to ask for a car. The walk is nice but not during the night. However, this situation is tottally compensed by the view of the stars at night as the tent is far from the hotel lights

Good choice for solo travelers
Great Explorations Namibia was able to arrange a 10-day solo-driving safari for me on very short notice. Everything went very smoothly and the various accommodations were all excellent.

Excellent service and a great trip!
I chose one of the more popular self drive routes in Namibia. It was a nine day trip visiting most of the high lights.
Overal the service was great. The car rental pickup and drop off went very smooth and the vehicle (Toyota) was perfect for driving around in Namibia.
The accommodations were amazing. Even though I purchased the basic to medium level accommodations, they were very clean and up to date. Wifi was very fast at each of the accommodations I visited!
The information package was easy to use and was full of useful tips.
I can highly recommend using Great Explorations Namibia for your dream self drive in Namibia. You won't be disappointed.

Perfect self drive Namibian itinerary organiser
Allison organised an idyllic 14 day self drive itinerary. My husband and I knew very little about Namibia and found it very difficult to plan our trip until discovering Great Explorations Namibia. The booking process was very straightforward and Allison replied to enquiries very promptly. Our accommodation was varied and always well located, clean, comfortable and safe. Some of the lodges and camps were so gorgeous I felt like a millionaire and yet the cost was very reasonable.
Namibia itself was so much more than we expected. The landscapes were dramatic and stunning. No one can take bad photos in Namibia. And the animals... We encountered animals and birds everywhere. I was moved to tears watching a mob of elephants interacting with each other at a waterhole in Etosha. I could have stayed forever.
Our itinerary was very well judged with appropriate driving hours. Everyone we met was friendly, courteous and professional. All activities were interesting and very enjoyable.
Our 14 days went by in a flash and we have so many wonderful memories and photos to cherish.
Great Explorations Namibia made our wonderful holiday possible and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Professional
We found Lilly so knowledgeable, reliable, and most of all flexible with are changing plans and agenda. She catered to our wish list of areas, accommodation and activities and our trip was certainly great value for money. We loved Namibia and will be back to see what we couldn't cover in three weeks this time and will definitely use Great Explorations again.
