Friendly, Knowledgeable, and Reliable
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
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
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.

The organisation of the trip in all its parts was perfect: from the booking of the car to the choice of accommodation. Always present assistance and competent people.
No problems, a fantastic trip

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.
