Beautiful and desolate landscape
We spent three weeks in Namibia, which Lilly from Great Explorations in Windhoek arranged for us. This was my husband's 60th birthday present and we drove over 9 000 kilometres during the road trip. Sossus Vlei and Sesriem were very hot and the advice from the guides was that we should not drive ourselves, as the sand is very dense. The guides were great and the dunes were spectacular. The lodges along the way were also fantastic. Our only point of concern was that the roads in Etosha are so poor that the driver needs to concentrate on the road full time and does not have the opportunity to view any game. This is something to which the wildlife authorities need to pay attention.

Fantastic experience on the oasis location.
I'll be returning from a fantastic 7-day trip offered by Gateway Africa. It was a combination of Namibian’s best destination: The Namib Desert and the quaint town of Swakopmund.
Our tour organizer was Annelie. We were impressed with her professionalism and attention to detail. She provided us with the best tour options, detailed information about the country, and hour/day tour information.
From the airport pickup point till the last day, she organized exceptional service.
Our exceptional guide Berron was not only friendly but also highly skilled. His knowledge and warm personality made our trip unforgettable.
Namib Naukluft Lodge is situated in the oasis part of Namibia. The staff offered us a very nice ambiance in a very clean location.
They served delicious traditional meals in the unforgettable location. The ambiance here is always inviting and comfortable.
The exceptional service we received each time keeps us coming back. Thank you a lot for your professional services.

The landscape in Nambia is beautiful.
The trip provided an overall experience of Namibia. The landscape, the wildlife, the culture and the side trip were incredible.

Magic Namibia
Namibia is a land of contrasts, its diverse landscapes unfold beautifully along long road journeys. We were lucky: after years of drought, the country experienced heavy rains, transforming the desert into a blooming spectacle of flowers and colors. Wildlife isn’t limited to national parks; with a bit of luck, you might spot animals even along the road. Most travelers opt for self-drive—a truly rewarding choice. And above all, Namibia is a safe country with warm, welcoming people.

Surreal and super safe place for first-time roadtrippers in Africa :)
All our friends and family were concerned about our safety, being 2 Asian girls driving around Africa for the first time but we felt safe and were also constantly taken care of or reminded by friendly locals to take care of our belongings.
Best experiences (being city girls) include climbing and sliding down sand dunes directly into deadvlei, random wildlife sightings, superb birding opportunities everywhere, befriending friendly Damara ppl and learning about their way of life at Damara Living Museum, eating the best Apple Pie at Solitaire and definitely tracking down wildlife at Etosha National Park and other

We recently visited Etosha National Park and the Namibian Desert, staying at the beautiful Gondwana Collection resorts. I left the travel arrangements to the last minute, but thankfully, Terry was incredibly helpful—she managed to organize the entire itinerary in record time!
Despite only having 6 days, we packed in so many unforgettable experiences. It was a bit rushed, but absolutely worth it. Etosha was teeming with wildlife, and the Namib Desert felt like something from another world—truly magical.
We traveled in May, which turned out to be the perfect time: the weather was warm but not too hot, making it ideal for exploring. Honestly, it’s one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been.

Namibia is a destination that you will want to return to again and again.
We recently had the pleasure of spending a 2 week self-driving holiday in Namibia. We did a 1800km clockwise loop that included the desert parks of the Namib desert, stops in Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, up the Skeleton ghost to the hiking and famed wildlife parks. The trip exceeded our expectations in Namibia's beauty and ease of travel. In addition to the world class parks of outstanding beauty and excellent wildlife viewing, we experienced the warmth and friendliness of the Namibian people. Wherever we went, we were greeted with smiles, and strangers that were willing to help.
Another surprise was the hiking options that were present in lots of the areas we visited. Etendeka hikes and camps were a real highlight, with the night skies being an unforgettable experience.
We are already counting the days until we return again to this fantastic country.
