We recently went on a fabulous discovery of Namibia which we booked through Blue Crane Safari's.
Derek at Blue Crane Safari’s was excellent at suggesting suitable itineraries for our 17 day trip. We were met at the airport and right through the trip until the end, we were looked after extremely well and our guide, Marcus went above and beyond what he needed to do to make sure we saw the very best of Namibia. I would thoroughly recommend this company when considering a trip to this amazing country.

Efficient, easy to deal with and well priced.
The planning and communication with regard to the 17 day escorted tour of Namibia I recently took was excellent. Some lodges exceeding expectations. Our driver Marcus was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. His contribution was a most important factor of the overall success and I would recommend him unreservedly. I was happy with the cost, level of accomodation and activities. The only hiccup I incurred was paying into a Namibian bank account from a UK bank account. UK Banks don’t like this! It was difficult. Not the fault of Blue Crane but something they could look into to help future guests.
Thank you Derek and team for a very memorable holiday. I hope to return and would use your services again.

Friendly and professional service all the way!
Thanks to Derek and his team at Blue Crane Safaris who planned and organised a perfectly executed itinerary for our first Self-Drive in Namibia. What a beautiful country to experience with changes in the landscape around almost every corner!
Derek was always available to assist or advise, and went over and above our expectations to ensure our safety, comfort and overall enjoyment for a memorable journey.
We will be back for another trip and plan to travel with Blue Crane again!

Excellent safari surpassed our expectations
In June 2014, my husband and myself (55 and 56 years old), my mother (80 years) and my daughter (22 years) did the Namibian Experience Safari with Derek Jacobs, owner of Blue Crane Safaris. From the planning phase during which all our questions were answered promptly all through the safari our experience was excellent. Derek organised everything to perfection, chose wonderful lodges and was able to answer all our questions about his country, its history, landscape and animals. He went out of his way to make sure we saw wild animals wherever possible, but we never felt we were in any danger. He was also great company and we shared many nice evenings with interesting discussions and a lot of laughs with him.
Thanks to Blue Crane Safaris and to Derek we have had a great family holiday experience - to be recommended without any reservations!

19 day self drive through Namibia and Botswana
A very positive experience with Blue Crane. We had a wonderful 19 day self-drive through Namibia and Botswana, all arranged with Blue Crane. The 2
vehicles were very comfortable and perfect for handling the occasional significant deep sand or mud. The accommodation was mostly great (apart from places where there wasn’t any better to be had). The agency was always available and responsive to any questions, including assisting us to replace the loss of both number plates off one vehicle very efficiently just prior to crossing the border. A basically hassle free, fun safe adventure for a bunch of middle aged people :)
Also good value for money.
Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience in Namibia with Blue Crane Safaris
Excellent service all round - couldn’t recommend them highly enough. From initial communications with Derek who helped to advise us through a suggested itinerary and route, was accommodating to our budget, happy to make any changes and provide alternatives when asked, and provided ongoing communications and information up until our departure date. The trip itself was fantastic - our guide Frank could not have been more knowledgeable, kind and helpful, and certainly contributed to make our holiday such a memorable experience. Namibia itself is a lovely country. Thank you Blue Crane Safaris!

Very professional tour operator providing perfectly organised tour with excellent guide
Very professional tour operator from first contact to end of the tour, with excellent and punctual support in the organisation.
The tour itself (11 days with guide) was very well designed, we really enjoyed the perfect organisation, the amazing lodges and the delicious food everywhere we went (also special dietary requirements were taken into account).
We had a very knowledgable guide with whom we felt very safe in the long drives and everywhere we went, and who always provided explanations about the fauna, flora and geology of Namibia. Thanks to him we were able to learn so much about the country and enjoy things we would not have noticed had we travelled alone. We were able to spot all wildlife we had expected to see...and much more beyond that.
With Blue Crane Safaris we had an unforgettable holiday in Namibia and would definitely travel with them again next time in Namibia!

Fabulous
From beginning to end Derek and his team worked professionally and tailored our trip from beginning to end to accommodate whatever we wanted. They did not try to change our minds but made sensible suggestions that would make our stay in Namibia run smoothly and without hitches. The whole team were pleasant, polite and respectful. They were very patient when I changed my mind a few times and never, ever made me feel I was being a nuisance. The service was excellent, the car they provided was in tip top condition and the itinerary was all printed out in detail. What we really liked was that they gave us maps to find our way around. We love maps. We would definately use Blue Crane again to plan our next trip.

Unforgettable experience
I just completed the 10 Day camping safari with Blue Crane and had the most amazing adventure.
The organisation was seamless and the itinerary was perfect. My favourite places were Damaraland and beautiful Naukluft Park. I saw everything I wanted (and more) in Etosha. All camping places on this tour were well located and of very good quality.
The guides (Me-Gusto and Tony) were simply the best. They cooked the best food, were super organised, knowledgeable and fun to travel with.
I would recommend Blue Crane and will be using them again.
