We couldn't have asked for better
We couldn't have asked for better. From our first dealings with Nature Travel Namibia [NTN] we were treated to excellent service. The back office team [Petra in the main], worked their magic to find accommodation that suited our desires for luxury at a price we could afford. This wasn't straightforward and in the end needed a change of direction, so instead of finishing at Etosha, we started there. Our guide, Joram, was a lovely guy and he knew his subjects well. Even while driving, his experienced eyes would pick out something to see, usually animals in the far distance, but this made for a great adventure. Every place we visited he had a story to tell us about and very soon we were made very comfortable. His driving was exemplary and when we stopped for the night, he took care of our luggage, and us as well! He'd even go as far as driving us to a restaurant [booked by NTN] and return to pick us up when we'd finished. He knew when we needed an early start to avoid traffic and heat, and knew when he could afford to allow us the luxury of a small lie in. The standard of all our accommodations was exaclty what we would have wished for, and we would cheerfully do it all again, booked, of course, through NTN.

Pepi at Nature Travel Namibia planned the perfect trip
Our tour in Namibia was perfect in every way. Our tour guide (Stewart) was knowledgeable, funny and an excellent driver. Pepi, our tour agent, found us the perfect accommodations and included thoughtful extras such as birthday surprises and wine. Etosha is teeming with wildlife and we watched cheetahs hunt, a white rhino having a mud bath and elephants frolicking in a waterhole. Sossusvlei is resplendent with red sand dunes and azure sky. Don't worry about using Namibia dollars, South African rand is accepted everywhere. I would highly recommend using Nature Travel Namibia to plan your trip. The value for money is incredible.

Awesome tour through Namibia with Nature Travel Namibia
Nature Travel Namibia and especially our guide Wilson made our tour through Namibia an unforgettable experience. The communication prior to our trip was great and once on the tour Wilson was accessible 24/7 for anything we needed or any questions we had. Our lodges were all beautiful and much nicer than we expected or would have even booked for ourselves. Both the company and Wilson were very reliable and always professional. We feel for the beautiful lodges, the amount of activities included, the amount of ground we covered, and especially for Wilson’s impeccable knowledge and professionalism, the price was well worth it!

Professional tour operator
Petra from the Nature Travel Namibia prepared a tailor-made itinerary for us we expected and chose for us a perfect bird guide and herpetologist Dayne. We had a lot of fun along with wildlife watching! Our group of friends would strongly recommend the operator and the guide.

Amazing! Not-to-miss experience when in Namibia!
We did a 5 day safari tour in Etosha National Park with Nature Travel Namibia and it was amazing!
We decided to start our 3 week vacation in Namibia with a five-day, four-night tour in Etosha National Park and were drawn to Nature Travel Namibia because of the great reviews. And it lived up to our expectations on every single level.
The communication beforehand was truly great. Pepi listened to our wishes and was very quick and professional to respond, but besides that, very friendly! The provided information about pick-up times and itinerary were very clear and complete.
The tour itself was breath taking. The national park is beautiful, the guide was very nice, and the booked accommodations were beautiful and clean. But also, the design of the trip was really well though-out. It is noticeable that Nature Travel Namibia has a lot of knowledge about the country and how to create an unforgettable experience.
Would definitely recommend!!

A wonderful experience
We organized an 8-day classic safari with Nature Travel Namibia. The management of the trip and any necessary customization was made very effective by Amber's availability, always ready to respond to our every request. The trip was very well organised, our guide Colandri was very knowledgeable and friendly, a nice person full of enthusiasm who showed us many secrets of Namibian nature. All in all an experience to be highly recommended.

Fabulous experience - exceeded expectations!
Working with Petra at Nature Travel Namibia was a delight. She was responsive, provided helpful communications and ideas and clearly answered any questions. She worked hard to put together an amazing itinerary that met all our goals for the trip. The information provided during the planning process and ahead of departure was perfect and ensured we were well prepared. She even went above and beyond and arranged for me to have a yoga mat! Everything during our trip went smoothly - travel, transport, guides and all the accommodations were wonderful. We found the staff across the board to provide excellence service and to be warm and welcoming. Our driver/guide in Namibia took great care of us along our journey. Exploring Botswana and Namibia was an incredible experience and would highly recommend visiting and using Nature Travel Namibia to help plan your trip.

Superb communication, itinerary perfectly matched our needs and the tour itself was excellent.
We weren't sure whether we could afford a safari holiday to Namibia, so we went to Nature Travel Namibia with a whole raft of questions and possible scenarios. They were prompt in replying (every time), very flexible when it came to our suggested changes (especially when we had a last minute yearning to see Hippos, causing a complete rescheduling of our itinerary!) and very helpful in providing the kind of advice on things that we wouldn't have known about if we'd taken it on ourselves (driving distances and when to stop overnight, road conditions etc). The road map was very useful, as was the pre-tour information provided. The rep we met in Windhoek was friendly, polite and provided a list of numbers for us to contact if there were any problems - they didn't have too much to do though, as the pre-tour pack was extensive enough that we really didn't have many questions, but we were left feeling that we were in capable hands should anything go wrong (which it didn't).
Everything went very smoothly; airport transfers, hire car pick up, accommodation etc. Our list of what we wanted to see was superbly met by the itinerary provided. I think the value for money was good - it certainly felt like it to us. Nothing at all to complain about and we're more than happy to recommend Nature Travel Namibia to anyone thinking to visit this wonderful country.

Amazing and expertly planned safari!
Nature Travel Namibia arranged a fantastic 14 day private safari for us in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. They worked closely with us to develop and customize the exact itinerary we wanted and kept it within the price range we proposed. All the lodges they selected for us were beautiful and convenient to the national/safari parks. During the Namibia portion of the trip, we were given a private guide, Wilson Garafa, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable about all the wildlife we saw, but also about ecology, geology, and history as well. He was very attentive to our comfort and ensured everything went smoothly. It really was just an amazing experience. I highly recommend Nature Travel Namibia if you’re planning a safari in southern Africa.

Simply the best! Petra Joell was just amazing putting together one of the best trips ever.
We were looking at travelling to Namibia and after doing reviews on operators and itineraries I realised that most are for group tours, scheduled stops, no flexibility and then I came across Nature Travel Namibia. After looking at the reviews I decided to contact them to see and hear what they cld offer us. My agent was Petra Joell, and together we put together a private trip that was at our pace and also included all the places I had been researching and wanted to see that other companies didn’t offer including extra time here and there to relax or do our own thing occasionally. Not one thing went wrong and if it did we didn’t know about it…just seamless travel.
At one location early in our trip I mentioned that I didn’t eat fish and was lactose intolerant. Normally, I work around this and don’t have a problem. Well from then on, every resort made sure my meals met my needs. I just couldn’t believe the little touches Petra did including organising a cake for my birthday..in fact 3 at different places on the day!
Petra was always prompt in replying, offering suggestions, making changes and put together our 3 wk holiday through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
She then gave us the best guide ever Stewart who was an encyclopaedia on animals (including elephant tracking which we did) and birds. Initially, we were not that interested in birds but we certainly became enthralled with his knowledge and stories about the animals and birds. I just love meeting local people and Petra ensured I had ample time to go to villages and meet the locals which I simply loved. Even saw the big 5.
As this trip was to be paid overseas, we were a little nervous as you hear all these awful stories but that was not the case here. All payments went through correctly and we received all that was promised…5 star too!
I have travelled to over 90 countries and on many tours but this was the best organised, gave value for money and lived up to be the best trip ever. My partner has even said we are going back to africa. Here I was worried that he wouldn’t love it as I did but he absolutely loved it and tells everyone we are going back to africa next year.
I cldnt recommend this company more highly and wld happy to talk to anyone if they had any question.
Thank you Nature Travel Namibia…best trip ever !
