Excellent service for a wonderful experience
5/5

We found Great Explorations after receiving several answers that indicated that it was too late to plan the trip (2 months before). The team not only answered positively but inmediately understood our expectations, type of experience we wanted and respected our budget. Replies were quick and detailed and the first programme was complete and very well explained. We requested to make slight adjustments that were inmediatly done. The accommodation proposed throughout the trip was excellent and most of the lodges were simply exceptional.
Upon arrival, the staff took to time to personally welcome us, review the programme day by day and gave valuable advice. We felt that we had a reliable support for anything we might need along a road trip of many kilometers often in remote areas,
Overall a perfect partner for a unique experience. Special thanks to Anja who was extremely professional, available and helpful.

A journey of a life time!!!
5/5

Family of 4 travelling around Namibia with a quick stop to Victoria falls and Botswana for 32 days. I didn’t know where to start!! I am glad Great Explorations Namibia was there and did all the planning + we were very last minute and they make it happen. Anja was so helpful and so patient with all my questions and respect our budget. She reply quickly to all my requests. Lili was also very helpful and Peter at the car rental. Anja met us on the 1st day and went through the itinerary with us. We had 2 roof top tents and we camped every night. Namibia is now our number 1 country (for it’s beautiful scenery, for the people, for the experience and amazing campsite/lodge). Highly recommended!!!

Intimate knowledge of the country , professional , and a great desire to provide the best service
5/5

This was our 4th visit to Namibia and we had a wonderful 15 days visiting the Cheetah Conservation Centre , Damaraland and Twyfelfontein , the Skeleton Coast , Etosha NP , and Swakopmund .
Great Explorations provided the very best service in terms of customer information pack , briefing , personal support in terms of booking restaurants, accomodation and guided activities demonstrating their intimate knowledge of the country and tourism contacts . We always seem to have the very best positions in terms of bush chalet/tented accomodation and restaurant table reservations . The vehicle was the best we have hired in Africa and the support briefing was comprehensive in case of breakdown , punctures etc albeit we had no problems whatsoever with the vehicle [Toyota Hillux ]
This was our best trip to Namibia for wildlife with Etosha and Damaraland providing incredible sightings of everything we would have hoped for[Lions ,Cheetahs , leopards , Desert Elephants ,Black Rhino particularly at the floodlit waterholes in the National Park , and whales at Walvis Bay ]
All accomodation was booked by Great Explorations and all ranged from good to excellent . People of Namibia were as always friendly , providing great service and very often displaying amazing multi-language skills even in the remotest of places
We would fully recommend Great Explorations if you are planning a self drive visit to Namibia

Great tour operator for Namibia self drive safaris
5/5

Lilly did an excellent job choosing good options of Hotels and was very organized providing clear instructions of the itinerary including important tips of everything that is important to know during the trip. She also solved very well some unplanned issues in a way to satisfy client needs. Great Explorations Namibia is highly recommended for self drive safaris.

Friendly, Knowledgeable, and Reliable
5/5

This was our first trip to Africa. We were very pleased with the support we received from Great Explorations, esp. Lilly. Not only did she help us put together a great itinerary but provided us with alternatives when our first choice wasn't available. In fact, we feel like the alternatives were even better than the original choices. We also pre-booked excursions in each location with Lilly's assistance, which helped us optimize the time we had. When our son became ill and we needed to make changes at short notice, Lilly was available after hours and worked out a solution for us. Finally, we very much appreciated working with Lilly's rental car partner, Classic Car Rental. I cannot overemphasize how important it is to have a reliable, well-maintained car on the Namibian roads. Great Explorations, Lilly and her team get 5-stars and two thumbs up from us. Highly recommended!

Whistle-stop tour through the Kalihari, Namibia & Skeleton Coast deserts
5/5

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!

Hassle free travel in Namibia
5/5

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.
