An Excellent Desert Experience
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Namibia Desert tour in December 2023, and it was an unforgettable adventure. The highlight of the tour for me was undoubtedly the Deadvlei, which is truly remarkable and unlike anything I've ever seen. The landscape is otherworldly, with vast stretches of sand dunes that create a surreal and breathtaking panorama.

Our stay at the Namib Naukloft Lodge was equally impressive. The lodge offers excellent value for money, with comfortable accommodations, friendly staff, and delicious meals that perfectly complemented our desert exploration. The serene setting and thoughtful amenities provided a perfect retreat after long days of adventure. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the raw beauty and unique charm of Namibia’s desert landscape.

Efficient & reliable travel agency for Africa
5/5

Though based in South Africa, the agency was able to organize a very good three-day trip of the Sossusvlei area in Namibia for us. Deline of the agency provided prompt follow-up and confirmation. The tour price was reasonable and we were very satisfied with the quality of the tour and accommodation arrangements.

everything was perfect
5/5

I and my friends had booked a 3-day tour in the desert of Namibia, starting from Windohek. The guide arrived on time, was very professional and helpful, and gave us a lot of very interesting information about the places, game and plants we were passing by. The accomodation was in line with what we expected, even more comfortable, in a nice lodge near Soussvlei. We were provided all the time with water and everything we needed, the tour was exactly ad displayed in the brochure, good value for the money we had paid. Communication before the tour was very quick, exaustive and during the tour our local guide gave us all the information we needed, I would sincerely recommend it to other travelers

wonderful trip by 11 days
5/5

We have traveled for 11 days through South Africa, everything has gone great. The only problem we had was with African Eagle with whom we took two tours one in the morning by Cape of Good Hope and another in the afternoon by Cape Town. We just did the morning tour which took us late to Cape Town, Gert our agent at Getaway made the arrangements to give us back the money.
After we did the garden route for 5 days with Bokbus, our driver and guide Benjamin made an unforgettable trip. Good driver, polite, attentive and best person. The last four days we did safari with the company Viva Safaris, the attention of the girls at reception was great. We could not see many animals in Kruger it was very hot and that is why the animals migrate north looking for rain and cooler weather.

Getaway made it easy.
5/5

My husband and I planned a second honeymoon. We bought a getaway magazine and saw the most beautiful pictures of Mauritius. We contacted getaway on numbers given. Gert Vermeulen was our travel agent through out the whole prosess.
Gert was quick to answer all questions and emails. Before we knew it our dream honeymoon to Mauritius was booked.
We left for Mauritius on the 17th of October. Everything went so smoothly. At arrival at Mauritius airport we were greeted with friendly smiles and taken straight to Tamassa Resort in Mauritius. It was breaht takingly beautiful and we enyoyd our stay completely. Gert worked out a great deal for us were everything was included...and I mean everything.
On our way back to the airport I was afraid that we would strugle in a unfamiliar airport, but I should have known that Gert thout about that as well. We were greeted by a representative and he helped us
with the check in an waited untill we went through passport control before he left with a friendly wave and a "hope to see you soon".
We cannot thank Gert and the Getaway team enough for making our second honeymoon worry free and unforgetable.
