Exceptional
Southbound Tours did an unique and diverse itinerary in Namibia for a group of 10 people. The service provided was very good and reliable. Moreover, it was very easy to communicate with Marco and everyone involved before and during the trip. Our transfers, flights and accommodations were well prepared upon our arrival and we had no issues (always on time). I would say that it was a very good value for money for the type of trip that we had as a group. Marco was even able to help me getting my drone permit to be used during the trip (however, there are very limited places to use it). Only improvement to be appointed is the safaris in Etosha (there is a need for better cars and different hours, not in the peak of the heat). Besides that, I would love to book another trip through Southbound Tours.

Southbound Tours and Marco make our trip unforgettable, ranking the top 5 of our trips!
I came into contact with Marco, around 6 month ago, when I was googling in search of a local agency to provide travel services in Namibia. The first contact with Southbound Tours, was very quick in answering, and since the beginning very helpful regarding the overall aspects of a trip through Namibia, the support was so efficient that and I ended up booking my entire trip with Southbound Tours. Marco provided excellent service throughout the entire trip. He took care of every details including booking activities, Restaurants reservations, transfers when needed, lodges recommendations and booking, a private fly-in plane, with an exclusive pilot (YahYah) all the travels routes along Namibia, who did our more extravagant experience together with the amazing sceneries from the air.
There is no words to thanks to Marco and his team for ensure this unforgettable lifetime experience in Namibia. The trip was fascinating and unexpected in what regards the sight and spots, almost unreal especially in the Desert, but also Sandwich Harbour, Walvis Bay. The scenery flight between Sossusvlei and Swakopmund was really top. Also our congratulations to the pilot, professional and ensuring safe flights all the time. Etocha Park was great, the Lodge was wonderful and at the arrival we were astonish by Rhinos, just there around the pool to welcome us! Last not least Marco did a great job, attempt along almost 6 months to all my doubts, questions and changes of the plan, giving suggestions and improving the final program. The last day he was really gentleman and kind. He met the group last night dinner at Joe´s Beerhouse, one of the most popular Restaurants in Windhoeck, for a toast and say goodbye! I wish you Marco, a prosper business and I bet we will be with you for a new adventure in Botswana and Zimbabwe, for sure.

Would highly recommend Southbound Tours
We are so pleased we chose Southbound Tours to organise our Namibian holiday. Both Marco and Marné put together a wonderful fly in Safari for us.
Any adjustments to our itinerary were well communicated and organised seamlessly. They were both professional, polite and friendly, always happy to answer any questions.
We enjoyed it so much we’re already thinking about our next tour with them.

Outstanding
Southbound Tours arranged a superb 10 day fly in safari of Namibia, visiting Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland & Etosha. Seeing Namibia from the air was a wonderful experience, each leg of the journey being about an hour in a light aircraft. On arrival at Windhoek airport I was met by Marco and he gave me a shoulder bag full of useful items for the trip.
The organisation of the holiday and communication before and during it were excellent. A truly memorable trip - stunning landscapes, lovely people, great wildlife, wonderful hospitality. Highly recommended.

Southbound Tours were competitive, professional, accommodating, and certainly value for money.
We visited Windhoek,Etosha, Swakopmund, and Sossusvlei. My wife has special dietary requirements and every place was accommodating helpful and kind. The organised tours were excellent. The recommended restaurants were very good and the lodges we stayed at were outstanding. Marco was communicative and available when we needed him. We would use Southbound again.

Excellent organisation , perfect service, great guidance, met all of our expectations
We asked SouthBound tours to organize a voyage to the Victoria Falls and Botswana by plane . They proposed several camps and locations in accordance with our budget .
The tour fully met our expectations . We were picked up by our pilot at Livingstone , we visited the falls an then flew to King’s Pool in Linyanti .Luxury suites , amazing wildlife, very friendly people and excellent food. We fell asleep with the sound of hippos in the lagoon.
Then further on to Camp XakanaXa in the heart of Moremi game reserve and Camp Okavango . Stunning landscapes , safari tours by jeep or water game-viewing. Lots of birds but also hippos , leopards and lions. The last camp was Jack’s camp in the Makgadikgadi Pans, a wonderful experience. We had the opportunity of watching the migration of hundreds of wildebeest and zebras. To drive on the Pans , to meet Bushmen and finally to meet meerkats . All the time our pilot accompanied us . He organised some surprises for us : a special dinner , a braai , a special ride . He really tried to fulfill all our wishes . The whole voyage fully met our expectations . It was a once a lifetime experience ! Thanks to an excellent organisation !

Every challenge was mastered
2021/2022 the Corona years.
The plans for our 3rd southbound tour were canceled at short notice due to the corona pandemic because entry into Namibia was not possible, but we were able to take place again after Namibia opened and we were very happy that the entire tour was possible 10 days before departure trip could take place at short notice.
There was always someone available to answer our questions.
We were happy and grateful to be able to do this tour again privately with two people without having to worry about getting sick.
All selected hotels were perfectly prepared and it was very nice to be able to experience the highlights from previous tours again.
Many thanks to southbound tours for the perfect implementation. You were always safe in the air and it certainly wasn't the last tour.
Our route was as follows:
Hilton Windhoek - Alte Villa Lüderitz - Fish River Lodge - Sonop Lodge - Omaanda Lodge

Southbound Tours goes the extra mile
Our trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe was already our second trip with Southbound tours and it won’t be our last.
Marco really listens to your expectations and exceeds them.
He makes your trip worry-free. We look forward travelling with Southbound tours again!
