Welcoming, Supportive and Helpful before and throughout our self-drive adventure in Namibia!
Damas Safari were the first to answer a query I sent to a number of operators when I was first interested in going to Namibia. From day one JP was helpful - with suggestions and ideas for our trip. We had left it rather late (June) to start booking lodges for the peak season (August) but JP and his team did their best to accommodate us and planned a really exciting itinerary for our 16 days - starting in Windhoek - Mariental - Soussusviei - Swakopmund - Etosha - Mahango- Okinjima - Waterberg -Windhoek. We would be travelling independently - confdent in our driving skills having had years of experience of desert driving in the Middle East We were met at the airport by Salem who actualy drove our hired car back to the hotel knowig we were tired after our extended journey. Next morning the amazing Dr. Andrew met us (JP also came to say hello) - with maps, tips and a really helpful extended briefing. My luggage had not arrived with me and Andrew immediately took over tracking it. He sorted out the puncture that had appeared in our brand new hired car overnight - made sure we had a sim card- and we were sent on our way with instructions to contact him regularly - and we did! Each day he booked and organised specific tours for us as we requested. He answered our random questions about directions - even though he had marked the map clearly for the journey - colour coded! He supported us through a car breakdown near Outjo. He got our car replaced overnight when our windscreen was shattered in Etosha Park. He personally tracked and ensured that my wayward luggage was finally sent on to Sossusviei. He texted us regularly just to say good morning! He met with us when we got back to Windhoek. All of this with good humour and grace! We were delighted with the personal level of support and service that Andrew and Dunas Safari gave us. As independent and resourceful women we could have manged without support, however Andrew's support meant that we did not have to spend time on any of the everyday organization that it is inevitiable when undertaking such a journey - we drove over 4000 km ! Each day was amazing and there were so many highlights on our trip - Etosha (especially the elephants at the waterhole in Okaukuejo and spotting the African Wildcat!), Okinjima (tracking the leopards - the cheetahs - the Bush Camp!), the combi tour in Walvis Bay - Hippos on the Kavango River...I could go on and on! Namibia, its landscapes and most importantly the hospitality of its people make each day an adventure!

They are absolutely awesome.
Dunas Safaris is absolutely awesome. We went on Safari in 2017, we worked closely with the Dunas team to work out our Safari and to make sure everything was as we wanted it. It turned out to be even better, everything was unbelievable. The Dunas Team, the Accommodation, The Safari itself was special, JP insisted there were some things we shouldn't miss out on and he was right. Sylvia's recommendations on certain things were also great.
I nearly drove JP mad with changing everything and he was always very helpful and couldn't do enough for us, and guess what, our experience was that good we are heading back to Africa in 2020, but with 6 other friends, we are going to make contact with Dunas again, sorry JP, I promise I wont be as painful as last time. Speak to you soon.

an experience to repeat
The team at Dunas Safari organized a fantastic 18 days self-driving safari to us. While respecting our preferences, they provided valuable advice on lodge choice, connecting routes, sightseeing on the way and tips on how to. Furthermore, they made some last minute reservations for activities/tours and were always available when we had questions on route.
We will recommend them without hesitation to our friends and will certain use their services for our next trip to southern Africa.

It was a wonderfull experience, well planned and wellpreepared.
The human support we got from the staff of Dunas was great, the services were at the level we expected, the lodges were top level, the tour itself was superb. Only one missing phone contact in Swakpmond but quickly overcomed. The car plus GPS were adequated to the road we cross.

Helpful preparation, flawless execution!!
We started with a group of 2 and ended with a team of 8. Some experienced in the African ways, others complete neophytes. Four Canadians and four Germans. Our brief was simple but ambitious: a 3-week self-driving tour of Namibia and Botswana with emphasis on game parks, the Okavango region and the Sossusvlei red dunes. Dunas Safari proposed an initial itinerary and worked with us to adapt it to our requirements, with very helpful insights and advice from João Pedro (owner) and Janine (travel coordinator) - as the size of our group grew, we evolved from one to two 4-wheel-drive SUVs and Dunas managed the challenge of accommodating the whole group in the same lodges along our journey. Dunas Safari managed this extremely well and we ended up with a series of lodges of excellent calibre without breaking the bank. They took care to ensure that each stop afforded the safari experience that we expected with a combination of dawn and dusk game drives and river cruises. During our trip, one of us celebrated a birthday and one of the couples celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary - behind the scenes, Dunas Safari worked with the lodges to provide an unforgettable performance of African dance for the birthday evening and an exquisite bush dinner in the middle of a game reserve for the wedding anniversary. Delightful. At Dunas's recommendation, we booked a hot air balloon ride over Sossusvlei - though not cheap, it is worth every penny, for the unique perspective on this breathtaking landscape. Janine and João Pedro were tireless in their support and constant follow-up of our adventure, maintaining contact, providing guidance along the way and watching over our shoulder to make us feel comfortable and safe. We can't say enough good things about Dunas Safari and highly recommend them for excursions in this magnificent part of the world!!
