Very capable and beyond helpful.
Chose luxurious and elegant lodges which are affordable - not grossly expensive lodges and hotels. 2 that were especially luxurious were Strand Hotel Swakopmund and Eagles Rest. Food at these lodges was delicious and game rides and other entertainment well organized.

An exceptional African adventure thanks to Tokkies Travel!
My daughter and I have just returned from an extraordinary three-week adventure through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia, all expertly organised by Tokkies Travel.
Despite having relatively short notice to put everything together, Mare-Lize created a wonderful itinerary that gave us the opportunity to experience four very different countries, culminating in 12 unforgettable days exploring Namibia.
For the first part of our trip, we travelled independently through South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, with all our accommodation, airport transfers and connections arranged for us. Everything worked seamlessly. At every destination, someone was there to meet us, and we never once had to worry about the logistics of getting from one place to another.
In Namibia, we were fortunate to have Willa as our guide and driver for 12 days. She was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and obvious love for her country added enormously to our experience, and it was a pleasure to explore Namibia in her company.
What particularly impressed us was the level of personal attention throughout the entire trip. Mare-Lize checked in with us daily during the first half of our journey and maintained regular contact with Willa while we were in Namibia. It was reassuring to know that someone was keeping an eye on everything behind the scenes, without ever intruding on our holiday.
The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, with just the right balance of organisation and flexibility to accommodate small changes along the way. To travel through four countries over three weeks, with numerous transfers, accommodation arrangements and activities, and not experience a single hitch is quite remarkable. It speaks volumes about the care, attention to detail and professionalism of the Tokkies team.
This was a very special trip for my daughter and I, made all the more memorable by the people who helped bring it together. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
A huge thank you to Mare-Lize, Willa and everyone at Tokkies Travel. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone considering an African adventure. If we are lucky enough to return to Africa, our first point of contact will be Tokkies!

Excellent knowledge of Namibia and exceptional service
We toured independently camping and staying in chalets and glamping sites booked by Tokkie. Our trip exceeded our expectations. Tokkie checked in daily and followed up on any issues we had. Scenery and wildlife viewing throughout our travels was amazing. Our wildlife viewing in Etosha was exceptionally. Tokkie helped plan our route and provided detailed route information. Don’t travel Namibia without Tokkie Travel!

Unforgettable 14 day journey through Namibia, Chobe (Botswana) and Victoria Falls
Where to even start – this trip was truly wonderful from beginning to end.
The lodges were super lovely and so carefully selected, very individual and absolutely stunning. Every time we arrived, it felt like coming home. Each one was completely different, but what they all had in common was the high quality – the feel-good factor, the cleanliness, the friendly staff, and the incredibly good food.
The trip planning was perfect. Always reachable, quick response times, and every wish we had was taken into account.
The value for money is honestly stunning.
And then there is our guide Jaco – I don't even know how to properly put this into words. He was absolutely incredible. Perfect German, unbelievably kind and friendly, calm, patient, with an enormous knowledge about the country, nature and people, and he brought all of it across in such an engaging way. A super safe driver, great planning, it really cannot get any better than this. On top of everything else, we even picked up some photography knowledge from him – including shots that would honestly work in a coffee table book.
Just to mention one out of so many highlights: the Big Daddy hike with breakfast up on the dune was truly unforgettable. Standing up there with the sun rising over Sossusvlei, coffee in hand – I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
What touched us both the most was how lovingly and attentively Jaco took care of my 80-year-old mum throughout the entire trip. He always kept an eye on her, made sure she was comfortable, adjusted the pace when needed, and never once made her feel like anything was too much. That kind of care is something you cannot plan or book – it comes from the heart.
The vehicle was great and very safe, and it was equipped perfectly – down to the setup for our bush coffee, which became one of our favourite little rituals along the way.
My mum and I are more than grateful. Thank you for an unforgettable journey.

Perfect plan, really fit for, an immediate response if needed
When travelling in another country, it’s important to plan your route carefully and bear in mind that in the EU, traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road. Mery Liz, the head of the Agency, responded to every one of our questions. She helped us straight away (with a minor technical issue). I’ve visited over 100 countries. She’s a star.
