Amazing experience!
My boyfriend and I did two tours with the Blue Crane Safaris and it was all wonderful. We went in a small group and had all the attention and care needed. Our guide Sammy made our experience even better by informing us of the local flora and fauna and catering to our every need.

Amazing Experience
The communication with the agency was done by email and they were very quick to respond and give all the informations.
My expectations were exceeded, the guides were very professional and helpful.
Namibia is a beautiful country.
I highly recommend Blue Crane.
Wonderful 3-day desert tour!
I had a great time on the Blue Crane Safari Tour to the Namib desert. Eventhough we only had 3 days, we saw so many beatiful things: breathtaking nightskys, wild animals, beautiful sunrise on the top of sand dunes... Blue Crane organised everything - camping equipment, food, entertainment ;) Sammy was a great guide!

The Etosha reserve and the Namib Desert in semi private tour!
I have just come back from a 10 days tour that included some of the major spots in Namibia (Etosha Park, Damaraland, Swakupmund and the coast, the Namib Desert). I have to say that I have organized this trip only 7 days before departure and I found and very good assistance with great professionality by Traudy. I had no worries with the airport transfer and the nights at arrival and departure in Windhoek , and received all suggestions and and advices needed before departure. At arrival everything was perfectly organized and the good surprise was that the tour took place with 3 travellers only (me and 2 nice american), with a brand new Toyota 4x4, which is a "plus" regarding comfort and security in a 3000 Km trip mainly on dust roads! The guide, Elton, was an excellent driver and behaved with capability and prudence in all circumstances. It was enjoyable to spend hours also in the car, with the feeling of being alone sometimes, in the immense landscapes of Namibia. Camp equipments and campsites were all perfect and we had sufficient time to enjoy the beauties of the places that we visited. Meals were all excellent! I have to say that the main feeling is that I found was I was looking for: the chance of visiting the places I wanted to see, living the days with the perception away from the tourism masses, in a safe way. I would recommend to travel across Namibia with Blue Crane, and for sure whatever is your type of expectation I have seen that it can be discussed in advance with the staff in order to program what best fits to the traveller intention.

Namibia-Trip of a Lifetime-Swakopmund, Skeleton Coast, Etosha, Luderitz, Sossosvlei, Fish River Cy
Namibia is truly a magical and timeless destination providing diverse natural landscapes & abundant wildlife and big game. Bluecrane Safaris' designed an itinerary that was perfect for our 'self-drive' experience. Even though my two adult children and I were unaccustomed to driving on the left side of the road on 90% gravel and sand in a 4X4, we felt confident and comfortable the entire time knowing that Bluecrane, specifically Derek, was available to assist. We even experienced a blowout on our drive to Etosha but was met in the middle of our trip by Derek to provide us replacement spare (even though we had an extra one left). Outstanding customer service! Namibian's are extremely friendly and customer service focused and take tremendous pride in providing a consistent outstanding experience. I would recommend Bluecrane Safaris and Namibia. Though I've never hesitated going to any country, even if I don't speak their language, but going to Namibia English is their primary language.

Inspiring & Unbelievable
Our group of six have just completed a magnificent 15 day Private Namibian Highlights Accommodated Safari with Blue Crane Safaris. From the commencement of the safari in Windhoek to our return, the itinerary was planned to perfection.
From the time we met our Guide and driver Me Gusto at Windhoek, we knew we were in for an awesome 15 days. Me Gusto’s energy & passion is second to none - all day every day, he connected with everyone in our group & we all connected with him.
Me Gusto’s intimate knowledge, experience and explanations of Namibia’s history, cultures, climate, geology, scenery, flora, fauna & wildlife was brillant. The interactions, discussions & laughs we had made the trip fly.
Each morning, Me Gusto would brief the group on the travel planned for the day, what we would expect to see and what we could possibly see (with a few surprises in between). The Landcruiser was spacious, comfortable and always presented clean (inside) each day.
Me Gusto’s ability to spot wildlife was unbelievable and provided each of the group an opportunity to view and photograph everything we wanted and ensured that we got the best opportunities at each location throughout the entire safari. Every day, every location was a highlight.
The accommodation at each stay was stunning - more than we expected. The meals throughout were fantastic.
In summary to describe our Namibian experience - “Namibia is a place of unbelievable excitement, beauty & contrasts. The people of Namibia are so friendly and cannot do enough to help you. Don’t just put Namibia on your bucket list - do it”
Thank you to the Blue Crane Safaris Team, and thank you again, Me Gusto, you are truly a legend. When you wear the “Pith” don’t forget your NabMadFam from Australia!!

Amazing
An Unforgettable 16-Day Safari from Windhoek to Victoria Falls
We just completed a breathtaking 16-day journey from Windhoek to Victoria Falls, and we owe much of its success to the incredible team at Blue Crane Safari.
First, a big thank you to Jamie, our tour operator, who crafted the itinerary and accommodation to match our wishes perfectly. Every detail was clearly communicated and flawlessly arranged. We were even provided with a brand-new 4x4 vehicle—fresh off the lot—and had the honor of being its first users!
But the true heart of our adventure was Markus, our tour guide and driver. His dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made this trip unforgettable. Markus kept the vehicle spotless every day, drove with exceptional skill—always avoiding potholes—and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout.
What truly set Markus apart was his extraordinary knowledge of birds and wildlife. His ability to spot birds from incredible distances was astonishing, and he never hesitated to stop the vehicle so we could take photos whenever we encountered birds along the road. These spontaneous moments became some of our favorite memories. His passion for nature, paired with his eagle-eyed vision and insightful commentary, turned every sighting into a meaningful experience.
Markus wasn’t just a guide—he was a companion, a protector, and a walking encyclopedia of the African wilderness. His presence elevated our trip from great to exceptional.
We wholeheartedly recommend Blue Crane Safari to anyone seeking a personalized, professional, and deeply enriching safari experience. And if you’re lucky enough to have Markus as your guide, prepare for a journey filled with wonder, warmth, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
