Fantastic tour of Namibia especially for first time in Africa
As a solo traveler embarking on my first trip through southern Africa, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect introduction to the continent than this incredible tour of Namibia. What began as a four-day photography tour quickly transformed into a six-day, life-changing adventure, all thanks to the outstanding team at People Tours and Safari.
The exceptional service began well before I even landed. With just a month's notice, I was in communication with Emilia, who was an absolute lifesaver. She seamlessly extended my trip from four to six days to accommodate my travel schedule and expertly sorted out all the logistics in what felt like an impossibly short amount of time. Her professionalism and prompt communication provided immense peace of mind, and I am so grateful for her hard work in making this trip a reality.
My journey truly began when my guide, Leonard, picked me up from the airport. The moment we started the five-hour drive deep into the Namib desert, I knew I was in good hands. Leonard is more than just a tour guide; he's a natural storyteller with an infectious charisma. The long drive flew by, filled with fascinating conversations, his fantastic selection of music, and his expert navigation of the rough gravel roads. Throughout the entire trip, he was not only a great conversationalist but also a patient and knowledgeable companion, always willing to pull over and help me line up the perfect photo or share interesting facts about the local wildlife. His keen eye for spotting animals from a distance was truly impressive and resulted in some of my favorite shots.
Our first major stop was the iconic Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. Leonard's savvy timing was impeccable, as he made sure we arrived early enough to beat the major crowds, allowing me to fully soak in the silence and scale of the dunes in the soft morning light. The sheer magnitude of the red dunes against the bright blue sky was breathtaking, and the stark, sculptural beauty of the ancient camel thorn trees in Deadvlei was unlike anything I had ever seen. While a surprise gust of wind cut our attempt to summit Big Daddy Dune short, the thrill of the climb was an adventure in itself. We then visited Sesriem Canyon, where Leonard pointed out the astonishing catfish that somehow survive in that harsh, arid environment—a truly unique and memorable detail.
The next leg of the journey took us to the coast, with an unexpected and delightful bonus. After a long drive to Swakopmund, Leonard surprised me with a personalized tour of Walvis Bay. He drove me to the salt flats, showed me around the city itself, and took me to a flamingo park where hundreds of flamingos created a stunning pink spectacle against the water. It was a thoughtful and wonderful addition to the itinerary. The following day, we headed up the Skeleton Coast, where we met Leonard's coworker, Froggy. Froggy, another fantastic guide, was incredibly funny and charismatic, taking us on a thrilling tour through the dunes. His sense of humor and warmth made the experience an absolute blast, culminating in a delicious lunch served at the "desert restaurant," a secluded and perfectly prepared meal that felt both rustic and elegant.
The tour's grand finale was at Spitzkoppe, where Leonard timed our arrival with cinematic perfection. We entered the park just as the sun began its descent, bathing the dramatic granite peaks in a golden and fiery glow. It was, without a doubt, one of the most stunning sunsets I have ever witnessed. As twilight deepened, the real magic began. Far from any light pollution, we did some stargazing, and for the first time in my life, I saw the majestic band of the Milky Way stretching across the sky. The trip concluded with a final city tour of Windhoek, where Leonard shared some final insights before dropping me off at my hotel.
For anyone looking to experience the magic of Namibia, look no further. The tour's price was incredibly reasonable, especially considering the expert planning, personalized attention, and unforgettable experiences. People Tours and Safari truly delivers a high-quality, professional, and genuinely personal experience. I cannot recommend them enough and will absolutely be booking with them again on my next trip to Namibia!

Perfect organization
We have booked the trip in January and since that time the communication went smoothly and I got any advice I needed till our trip started in September. The country is huge and it is good to count with enough time for the transfers. We could not getbetter giude than Luke. He took care about everything and we could enjoy the trip without limits.

the company's itinerary was good, but the tour guide's service could be improved
We found the People's Tour and Safaris on Viator.
The communication with our itinerary planner, Emilia, was very smooth.She provided us with a clear five-day, four-night itinerary, including places to visit and stay. We were very satisfied with the accommodations, meals, car, and all the attractions. We give this tour plan 4.5 stars.
However, there are still some areas that need
improvement.For example, the guide's service could be more professional, not just be like a driver. He seemed to have other things to do as well and couldn't focus on the service.He borrowed 400 Namibian dollars from me at Cape Cross but completely forgot about it unti l reminded him before saying goodbye at the WDH airport. lt wasn't a big deal, and l still tipped him. But l hope this doesn't happen again. also please help with luggage, especially for the elderly.Try to be attentive to guest'sneeds.We rate his service 3.5 stars.so the final average rating is 4.0 stars.

Amazing and varied tour around Namibia, perfectly arranged itinerary by People Tours and Safari
The tour was faultless from start to finish thanks to Aina’s efforts with the itinerary and Leonard’s reliable driving and guiding. We loved all the lodges including the guided tours and food.
Thanks to Leonard, we experienced Dune 45 at sunset which was magic. Froggy did a marvellous job driving us up and down the dunes at Sandwich harbour. We had such a great time and could not stop laughing.
While the gravel roads were in bad shape sometimes, Leonard got us safely and on time everywhere we went. His idea to drive through Etosha National park was great as it meant we got the opportunity to see more animals. This was not in the itinerary so his initiative was highly appreciated.
We were stunned to get an upgrade at the last lodge which was solely thanks to People Tours and Safari.
We could not recommend the tour operator enough and would not hesitate to use them again. In addition, it is nice to support a local company.

Best tour operator in Namibia!
People Tours had several advantages:
1. The best thing about them is their guide Luke. He is very very well informed, a nice human being and also good for a well rounded chat while you are on the road. He is very very passionate about Namibia and goes beyond extra to ensure you will have a great trip. I think my #1 reco to visit Namibia is to do it with Luke.
2. Aina was the one helping plan the itinerary. She is very responsive and was quickly available on WhatsApp to help plan the trip.
3. A plus is People tours also own the baggage delivery service for airlines. Our bags were delayed by over 24 hours. But we didn’t even check on the baggage as the entire thing was well managed by People Tours. Highly recommend them

Reliable, informed, professional, visible and caring tour company
People Tours and Safari are a reliable, informed, professional, visible and caring tour company. They provided me with a 5 day tour in Namibia covering desert and coast. The experience far exceeded my expectations and when compared to another tour company I used for my Botswana trip they were in a different ball park. In terms of booking I wanted to mention Emilia who was highly responsive, proactive and friendly over WhatsApp. Her manner and approach gave me great confidence when wiring not insignificant amounts of money prior to my trip. She checked on me during the tour and helped with accommodation choices when the as originally planned accommodation was no longer available. All the accommodation choices were excellent quality and good value. My guide and driver was Leonard who is an absolute natural communicator and clearly makes the effort and has the capability to individualise the tour. Any hiccups - and they were minor- were professionally problem solved with pace. I really enjoyed my time with Leonard and I really appreciated his guidance and confidence in me to get me to the top of Big Daddy dune. If you travel with Leonard you will learn so much about Namibia and receive an experience way beyond the tour description. I would definitely recommend anyone to book with this tour group and if you have contact with Emilia and Leonard the you will be very fortunate. Thank you People Tours and Safari!
