It was a marvelous safari tour with the highligths Sossuvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park.
The safari tour happened as expected concerning wildlife, scenery, weather, accommodations, food and guides.
Some remarks to issues that were not as expected: there were too many changes concerning the participants, transportation was not always o.k. because of less space for legs by the back seats, first day of safari tour without program (only stay at the guesthouse).
We state that the guides were excellent. They were extraordinary familiar with wildlife and could show as more wild animals as expected.

Exceptional Adventure
Namibia is a friendly and beautiful country, and I enjoyed all aspects of my two week adventure there. My only caution is that it is an adventure. This is a desert country and much of the time you are truly remote.

Great round trip through Namibia
We had a great time during our two weeks journey through the country. Namibia makes it easy for the tourists to explore this beautiful country, meeting nice and very friendly people and of course many animals in their native environment.
Namibia offers a large variety of unique landscapes, high quality lodges with scenic accommodations and good service. Please do not forget, that this country has not many people. So if you meet locals, get in touch, say hello and they will welcome you warm heartedly.
We learned a lot while talking to them about the country and Africa itself. Dear Namibians, please take care a little bit more for your great Etosha park. The surrounding infrastructures require a little bit more care to make the visit a great experience. Private reserves and lodges show very nicely what is possible and I assume tourist are also willing to pay a little bit more to enter the park.
In summary I can only suggest to go to Namibia, together with your family and explore this beautiful country.

Dream come true!
Our trip to Namibia turned out to be be far better than we imagined. Everything went smoothly apart from an onward delayed flight with Namibian Airways. Our guide Rudy was a star throughout our tour of Namibia. He had a passion for his country and its peoples and wild life which he shared with us throughout our trip. We always felt safe in his care, and he went out of his way to help us enjoy our first visit to Africa. His knowledge of his country was extensive and we were sad to see our trip

come to an end. Rudy kept our mini bus clean and we always had plenty of water on board. He drove safely, even when the days were long and the drive was hard. We had plenty of room in the bus as we chose to have a small group, so we shared with three other people. Expect very bumpy roads and long days, with early starts but it was worth every bump to experience such diversity. The landscape is stunning and so diverse.Th accommodation was spot on. We decided we didn't want to use tented accommodation, and so the lodges we stayed in were very clean and comfortable. The food was delicious with lots of choice at the evening buffet. It was good to try Springbok, Kudu, Oryx, Impala and Zebra! Most of which were very tasty. Breakfast was also plentiful, with fresh cooked eggs etc if you wanted it.
We were so lucky to come across the Desert adapted elephant on our trip, and to see lions, zebra, impala, springbox, rhino, giraffe and water buffalo. Couldn't ask for anything more!
Thank you Ines, from Indigo Safaris who organised our extended trip to include Victoria Falls and Botswana. ITs been an amazing Trip. Your help and guidance made it happen?

Magnificent wildlife and easy traveling
I can’t say enough good things about this country. Okonjima and Africats, Etosha, Palmwag, and the Namib desert were all beautiful. Our self drive tour felt safe and flexible. I will say that our trip might have been better done over three weeks than two due to the distances. Vegetarians well accommodated, vegans advised to bring protein snacks and shop for beans in the town supermarkets, as even the higher end camps and lodges were baffled (but they sure tried to help!).

Amazing experience!
Loved to see some of Namibia. From desert and canyon-areas, via small coastal cities to safari and wildlife. Really fascinating.

Rustic, adventurous,fun and knowledge
Namibia - unexplored widely, with its untouched beauty is certainly a offriders paradise. Photography and wild life are the prime attractions . Opting a self catered tour would be more beneficial but we cannot miss on the local delicacies.People are tourist friendly . Language no problem. A must visit place for every traveller. Opt for camping and have more fun.

our 8 days in etosha were fantastic!
we are donna and larry kaplan, adventure travelers since the late 60s, who are reaping what we sowed by living very simply for many years. we now have the cash to book these pricey tours.
safaribookings.com was a great site to find. we wanted a week in etosha and nothing more. wild wind safaris was the only one doing a week in etosha so i reached out to them. david at wild wind handled our correspondence and booking and monitored our tour the entire week. you could not ask for a better person to do that for you. he was efficient, knowledgeable, professional and prompt with his responses. he tweaked wild wind's tour to provide us with our week in etosha. david delivered in everything he promised including providing a 40 gallon water tank to refill our reusable liters.
come on people. stop using single use plastic water bottles. it is immoral.
a tour organizer is crucial but the guide/driver is the main part of the

tour. a great guide means a tour could be great. a so-so guide can really dim the luster. i hope namibians continue to pursue the guiding profession. i hope tour organizers compensate them well.our guide was abel kuyonisa and we could not have asked for more. all the adjectives i used for david apply to abel. he was efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. abel was always early and always courteous to all we encountered. abel truly cares about his clients. he is personable and a good story teller. we highly recommend abel to guide you anywhere in namibia and beyond.
