Professional, friendly company to deal with
5/5

We felt fortunate to have discovered Marco and his lovely team after reading the reviews on this website.
I gave Marco a wish list of the places in Namibia that we would like to visit, and he came up with 14 day itinerary.
Windhoek - Sossuvlei - Swakopmund - Twyfelfontein - Etosha - Windhoek.

It was a late booking for July, which is a busy time of year in Namibia, but Marco managed to get us into some excellent lodges sometimes by tweaking the date of the stay or wait listing us for one of the nights.

The itinerary was completed within four days, with emails exchanged promptly. My partner delegated decision-making, which speeded up the process. Additionally, Southbound’s local presence was an advantage.

Once the trip was paid for, I sent Marco a list of questions and small requests for each lodge that I had read about on TripAdvisor, and he patiently took everything on board. These tiny details made such a difference to the trip and highlight the level of service that Southbound offer.

Marne and Desiree, Creative Safari designers welcomed us when we arrived at our hotel in Windhoek and went through our itinerary so that we knew what to expect, and it was good to meet Marco too after all the work that he did for us.

We needed to use soft bags for our flights and we were going to be limited to 20 kilos of luggage. Southbound kindly offered to store our hard travel cases whilst we were on our trip, enabling us to also leave some travel clothes in Windhoek.

At the start of the trip, we joined a WhatsApp group for communication with the team.

The level of accommodation was mixed, so we were able to stay in an amazing suite at Camp Kipwe and less expensive accommodation when it didn’t matter, for example, in Swakopmund.
With the exception of Etosha, the food was excellent wherever we stayed, very imaginative, with a high level of service.

We particularly wanted to stay at Okaukuejo Resort within Etosha National Park so that we were close to the wildlife, which proved to be a good choice for us, although it may not suit everybody !

We used flights and road trips with Boyki as a guide from Windhoek to Sossuvlei and George, another Southbound team member who drove us from Etosha to Windhoek.

Marco came up with the idea for us to stay at a quirky place on the drive to Sossuvlei at Namibgrens Guest farm, Villa 1 and combined it with watching the sunset at Spreetshoogte Pass viewpoint, which was an unforgettable experience. It was also an honour to get to know Boyki and learn about his family during our two days together.

Driving allowed us to experience the scenery from the car, and it had the added advantage that we arrived at the lodge earlier in the day, meaning we could take part in the lodge’s afternoon excursion.

Despite sometimes opting for more expensive accommodation, we considered this trip to be highly worthwhile in terms of value for money, considering the “from” prices available in the UK for significantly shorter durations.

This trip was different from any adventure that we have booked previously.
Each destination offered a distinct experience, landscape and new friendly people to meet.

Southbound are a professional, friendly and lovely company to deal with.

Thank you for a great trip!

An excellent and unforgettable fly-in safari organised by Southbound Tours
5/5

An incredible tour travelling around Namibia by small plane, a wonderful way to experience the country.

Marco and Marné planned an excellent and very well organised trip for us, curating a tailor-made itinerary exactly to our requirements. Very friendly, helpful and attentive service, both before and during our trip with no hitches whatsoever.

Fantastic accommodation at each location, the stand-outs being Desert Homestead Lodge (Sossusvlei) and Malansrus Camp (Damaraland).

Places visited: Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland, Etosha National Park.

An Unforgettable Journey
5/5

Our trip through Namibia was truly unforgettable. Every moment felt like a dream — from the golden dunes of the Namib Desert to the dramatic landscapes of Damaraland and the incredible wildlife in Etosha National Park.
The tour was flawlessly organized, and we always felt safe, relaxed, and inspired.
The attention to detail made all the difference.
Namibia is a place of breathtaking beauty and deep silence, and thanks to Marco and Marnè, we were able to experience it in the most authentic and respectful way. We return home with full hearts, amazing memories, and a longing to go back.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for something real, wild, and soul-stirring! 💚

Excellent bespoke self-drive tour of central Namibia
5/5

For our first visit to Namibia we wanted some guidance in planning a 10 day self drive itinerary around the middle third of Namibia. Marco and Marne of Southbound tours were very quick to come with a suitable plan that mixed sightseeing and realistic travelling distances. They were able to flex the bookings given the timings of our flights and were very responsive to changes via email and WhatsApp.
We had an excellent briefing package before arrival that was complemented by a pack-up on arrival, as well as a comprehensive briefing on the vehicle, route, activities and hotels.
All the hotels we stayed at were excellent. There is no way I would have identified the correct ones to choose, where the facilities and staff were universally excellent and efficient.
We feel we received excellent value for money, we never needed to call for information or assistance, a testament to the fine organisation and planning.

Exceptional
5/5

Southbound Tours did an unique and diverse itinerary in Namibia for a group of 10 people. The service provided was very good and reliable. Moreover, it was very easy to communicate with Marco and everyone involved before and during the trip. Our transfers, flights and accommodations were well prepared upon our arrival and we had no issues (always on time). I would say that it was a very good value for money for the type of trip that we had as a group. Marco was even able to help me getting my drone permit to be used during the trip (however, there are very limited places to use it). Only improvement to be appointed is the safaris in Etosha (there is a need for better cars and different hours, not in the peak of the heat). Besides that, I would love to book another trip through Southbound Tours.
