Exceptional Service with Namibia Experts
This is the second time we have used the Cardboard Box - working with Lilly each time. The service each time has been exceptional with clear communication and support provided when needed. Booking was made easier by using their website to look at accommodation options, possible itinerary's, general information about the country and pricing.
The vehicle and all accommodation were provided seamlessly and were to the standard expected and at times more.
The Cardboard Box is the place to go to when booking travel in Namibia. I cant speak highly enough about the service they provided.

Helpful tour operator
Communication with Lydia was very easy. She responded fast and she covered all my questions.
I knew what to expect from the whole safari experience with this company because my friend had done the same tour a month ago. The camp is basic, regarding the tents and the food but you don’t spend much time there. In the camp I met travelers from different tour operators and we had more or less the same schedule with more or less the same prices.
Undoubtedly the experience with the animals is unforgettable and you will see quite many!
My recommendation is to find a tour operator that is helpful and his/her price fits your budget. The rest depends on the driver you will get!
P.S. If you are traveling solo be prepared to share a tent!

Excelente safari. Sin palabras. Emanuel una excelente persona. Nos hizo sentir como de la familia.
Our stay during the safari was very comfortable. Emanuel is a very kind person. He speaks many languages, is a very intelligent person, and has an incredible view for the safari. The cook the truth that I cook of wonders ... If I would go again, I would choose again without hesitation.
Nuestra estadía durante el safari fue muy confortable. Emanuel es una persona muy amable. Habla muchísimos idiomas, es una persona muy inteligente, y con una vista increíble para el safari. El cocinero la verdad que cocino de maravillas... Si volvería a ir, los volvería a elegir sin dudarlo.

Great experience and service
Great time. Great service.
There are over 1000 (maybe 2000) safari tour groups to chose from which made it stressful and time consuming to pick one for us. I'm so glad we landed on Glimag and, if lucky to return, would go straight back to this company.
Mary, the point person in planning your trip, provided incredibly fast responses to all inquiries and detailed itinerary. I felt absolutely confident that she had things organized.
We did a 3 night, 4 day safari and they successfully packed in many sites: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, lake Manyara. Our driver was Nickson who was wonderful, attentive to our needs and totally reliable. He knew his way around all the sites and was clearly connected with all the other drivers in the park so could quickly zoom in on rare animal sightings. Staying at Eileen's Tree Inn and our tented camp also were great choices for my family of 4.

Review about Okavango Delta by Veronica
Mokoro ride was beautiful. We saw elephants, zebra, and giraffes on the bush walk. I felt camping there was unnecessary.

Review about Elephant Sands Game Reserve by Veronica
Elephants all over!!! My only complain was the bus used for safari, not a 4x4. It was very noisy with the rattling roof and the high seats offered poor visibility.

Beautiful park with lots of animals but crowded
Chobe is a beautiful park next to the river. I saw many animals including elephants, hippos, lions, anthelopes and birds. However, too many cars on the same route. We were like 8 cars chasing two lions and at one point the lion had to go around a car. I felt so bad that we were harrassing the lions...

Beautiful park, few people, and lots of animals
Hwange is a beautiful park and the safari experience feels quite unique because there are very few cars/ people. It was usually just our car and at times one researcher. The scenery is gorgeous and I saw lots of elephants, anthelopes, birds of all kinds, zebras, giraffes, and a male lion. I feel you need a full day safari to go deep into the park and actually see the animals.

Best wildlife in the world
Best wildlife in the world is in Africa. Bit rainy in the night and it was colder than expected. Accommodations need to improve to fullfil basic general needs.

Unforgettable impressions within pure nature.
We were so lucky having the best guides we could ever asked for. Both of them were so friendly and humorous, they made our safari unique. June was actually the best time to travel. Right after the rain season ended, everything was so green. We were lucky to spot the Big Five.
