Namibia is very interesting, it's dunes unforgettable, wildlife unbelievable, arid, worth visiting.

4 / 5 4 /5

Namibia is very diverse. Windhoek, the capital beautiful, Etosha National Park full of wildlife, exciting. The skeleton coast quite unique with its city
Swakopmund very German influence and pretty. The Namib dunes, one of the oldest deserts in the world very captivating. and worth visiting. When we were there, it was quite hot, so an early walk was necessary. The landscape in some parts, pretty others very arid and dry. We travelled in our minibus thousands of kilometers to see it all, most of the roads are unsealed so we were "rock n rolled" quite a bit. As the African call it "African massage" It is not for the faint hearted or people with back problems. Due to the hot climate, we needed to buy many bottles of water daily which our tour operator did not provide. Disappointed! For the money we paid, we were expected at least water to be provided! Most of the accommodation very good. Meals Superb. All in all, it was an experience I will never forget. Would I do it again, definitely.

If you're traveling the world, you can't miss Namibia!

An unforgettable trip for its colors, people, and unique experiences, absolutely worth trying!
For safaris and wildlife, there are perhaps better options. Etosha is a bit disappointing, with too many people and cars. Ongawa exceeds expectations for its contact with wild nature.

Wonderful trip - Marius was great and we enjoyed his company and his energy.
I posted some photos, if you scroll down to NAMIBIA in this link you'll see them.

If there was one criticism it would be that our tour guide was booked into a hotel in Swakopmund and this caused some confusion because this is where he lived and he stayed at home for two nights. The savings of that unnecessary extra booking for our tour guide could have been given to us. Just a thought for your next customer.

Thank you for organising.

We visited Namibia in late October on a self-drive tour, wonderfully organized by Jangwa Tours. The scenery was breathtaking, very diverse, we saw lions, giraffes, elephants, hippopotamus, kudus, oryx, impalas and a number of other animals in their natural habitat. The people are very friendly, very clean everywhere, Amazing experience.

Magnificent view of quiver tree with stunning sunset

4 / 5 4 /5

For a long time I have made Namibia as my dreamed destination. Our tour operator helps to present a wonder journey of 5 days and 4 nights which covers quiver tree forest and highlights of Namib dessert. We do appreciate that and definitely would love to score 5 out of 5.
However, on our first day to Windhoek airport, we were treated as suspicious guests despite we trying to be friendly to each staff meet in airport. Holding valid visas and return tickets, I just couldn’t figure out why they yelled at us like that. That’s why I reserve one star reviewing overall experience in Namibia.

Probably September is not the best time of the year to visit Etosha, but still very enjoyable!

An experience of epic proportions.

Having already visited Namibia on two earlier occasions for consulting assignments, I had little wiggle room to explore. This third visit was carefully curated as a family thing. Lark Journeys did a fantastic job of curating an experience that flowed seamlessly from start to departure. Nothing short of a memorable journey. Windhoek to Dead valley, Sesriem, Walvis bay and Swapkopmund.

WOW, nothing prepares you for the beauty of the desert

Spent a little over two weeks in Namibia. The desert and the wildlife are just out of this world.
Beautiful landscapes, driving hours in the desert is so incredible.
Amazing wildlife encounters (from lone Oryx or desert elephants in the vast desert, to prides of Lions and massive herds of Elephants in Etosha and the area).
This was the perfect trip, organized to me by Great Explorations Namibia.

The people are also very welcoming, gladly helping and sharing their culture.
Just a perfect country to travel in

Amazing, I loved Namibia

Namibia is an amazing tourist destination. The country has a bit of everything, incredible nature, wildlife, the largest sand dunes, the ocean and the largest national park with the opportunity to do a self drive safari. The lodges are great, offering a wide range of activities.
We used a local travel agent, Southbound Tours, which I highly recommend. I found them through Safari Bookings.
Not to be missed- kayaking with the seals, Sandwich Harbor tour, a catamaran tour and quad biking on the dunes. I loved driving the Skeleton Coast and to spend a minimum of three days in Etosha.

Our tour guide HANZEL made our experience AMAZING!!!

To be honest, we weren't expecting our stop in Namibia to be one of our favorite parts of our trip! Our private driver, Hanzel, was also our tour guide throughout the trip. His customer service, sense of humor, and most importantly - the love for his country made our experience amazing! We saw plenty of wildlife which we weren't even expecting around the desert. The lodge that we stayed at was WONDERFUL!! So well kept and cute, everyone was so welcoming and accommodating - and the chef with her daily buffet - amazing!! My boyfriend celebrated his 40th birthday during our stay, and the staff made him feel so special. The trip exceeded all of our expectations.

I found the booking company to be not as great of customer service experience, only because it seemed disorganized with confirming payments and not as quick with replies or check ins. BUT - the freelancer tour guide they set us up with, Hanzel, was so great! Definitely check if you can request him for your next adventure :)
