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.
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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Self drive Namibia
We were met by Lilly (Great Explorations Namibia) at Namibiatogo where we picked up our 4X4. She warmly welcomed us to Namibia. She gave us much needed coffee and then presented us with our itinerary, map as well as a booklet with complete instructions for us to follow from day to day. Included was a note about where and when we would need snacks, gas, how long it should take to drive from place to place, how far each day's drive would be with the instructions on which road to take, where to turn and a detailed map of the area. Basically her booklet answered all our questions.....and was referred to each day throughout our drive. The route was interesting and chosen with care. The places we stayed were clean, usually resorts that offered sunset drives, morning and afternoon drives. Usually we had ample time to see things. On our drives there was time to stop and explore. We did not feel rushed.
Lilly is very organized. We had no problems finding the driver sent to pick us up at the airport. He was welcoming, pleasant and showed us giraffes trying to hide behind trees they were nibbling, explained what we were seeing and answered questions. Returning our car was easy at Namibiatogo. And we were transferred back to the airport at the end of our trip with ample time for our return flight home.
Would we go again? In a heartbeat! And we would use both Great Explorations Namibia and Namibiatogo.

Lilly went out of her way to help us with even small details
my wife and I are 74 and 76 retires and were little apprehensive about doing a self-drive of Namibia but with the excellently organized out tour we found no problems and even managed to have afternoon rests as the heat was getting to us. the accommodation was varied and comfortable even the tent camps, with AC inside a tent ! the Suv they provided through Namibia to go rentals seemed big to us but gave no problems we were asked if we needed an extra spare which we declined. We had no flats. the country has lots of rough gravel roads which adds to the adventure . My wife and I felt we got value for what we saw and this time in Africa we got to see cats

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.
