First time to Namibia.
First time doing a Father and Son Self Drive Safari.
Katya from Desert Air Africa Safari's was excellent in packaging up our individual requirements and adding her personal touches.
The drive through Okonjima Plains, Mushara, and Waterberg was eyewatering. Out of the Big 5 we managed to see 4 - Lion, Leopard, Elephant and Rhinoceros up close and Personal. Unfortunately the Buffalo were in the protected area of Waterberg Plateau and not accessible.
In addition there were many other local animals, Cheetahs, Springboks, Zebra, Wildebeest, Giraffe, and a multitude of other fascinating species, big and small, interacting in their natural environment.
All tours at each site was very well executed - couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Would I recommend doing a Self Drive Safari - Too right I would.
Would I recommend doing a Self Drive Safari with Desert Air Africa Safari - Most Definitely, just ask for Katya.

I have been in Africa many times (+20) and in Namibia now 4 times - this was a family round trip in our rented LandCruiser ower 14 days and we stayed 8 places - 6 was luxury lodges and drove 3.500 km. First time for my family to explore Africa and I had chosen Namibia because it has les people, les spoiled, les crime than other countries I have been in on this continent and more clean. We drove app. 2.000 km before we meet a lorry ond 500 km more before we meet no. 2 lorry. Coming from Europe - this is heaven of quite surrondings and buitifull nature. We had absolutly NO problems and we just loved it. The trip was planned with Pepi from Nature Travel Namibia and very well organaised.

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.

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
4 / 5 0 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 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.
