High quality trip to Namibia thanks to Lark Journeys
Namibia is an astonishing country that we could fully enjoy and discover thanks to very professional preparations and good care of Lark Journeys. The 3 weeks self drive through the Namibian nature and safari parks was taken care of down to the last detail. Lodges were well chosen and of high quality, Greg and Claire are very nice people who are always ready and standby for their guests. Absolutely recommended and worth repeating!

Unforgettable beautiful trip!
Our trip was wonderful! Everything was super organized by Lark Journeys. The route was explained to us in detail before the trip and we were able to ask any questions to Claire. On our 6 Day Namibian Loop we were able to discover the diversity of Namibia with all the animals, landscapes and cultures. Many thanks to our travel guide Franco, we have made many unforgettable impressions and discovered a lot more than we imagined. We can recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see a lot in a short period of time. Traveling during the coronavirus was not a problem at all, all safety regulations are observed and made available. Thanks again for everything Lark Journeys and we look forward to our next trip.

The trip of a lifetime. Great plan great execution!
We left Gregory free to create an awesome itinerary that would cover most of Namibia's Highlights and he did exactly that. Of course you need to understand you'll be driving allot of kilometers but the Cars were very well equipped for the task at hand! Greg has great local connections so every location had allot to offer. You like adventure? Chill? Mix with the locals? Everything is possible..... The trip of a life time!
Excellent guide
Last year we went on an interesting 5-day trip to Namibia. I am a professor at a US university, and I brought a group of 3 students to Namibia for their capstone project. Our guide was Greg from Lark Journeys (http://www.larkjourneys.com/) -- he was great, and I'm writing to recommend him to others.
Our goal was to spend a couple of days in a village near Ondangwa, and then spend a day in Etosha. I wanted flexibility in the plans, so we could adjust to what we find interesting. As it turned out only 1 of the 4 nights was spent in the location initially planned. The flexibility of course made it harder on Greg, but he did an amazing job making all work out great.
We had a very packed 5 days. We arrived in Windhoek on the 7:30 AM flight from Frankfurt. After a brief stop in Windhoek for supplies, we drove up north -- we didn't have lodging set, as we wanted to see how far we'd get driving in one day. We ended up in Tsumeb, and Greg found a nice hotel for us there.
The next morning we got up early and drove to Ondangwa, where we met our contact in the nearby village. We camped out there the second night, which was our original plan.
The plan for the rest of the trip changed when I decided during the trip that we should go to Opuwa, to see the Himba and Herero people. This made things hard for Greg, as he did not have time to prepare, and had to improvise on the spot. But he managed to work things out great. We drove to Opuwa in the afternoon of the third day, and spent the night in a nice hotel in town that Greg found for us. Greg also arranged for a local guide to bring us to a Himba village. The visit to Opuwa was the highlight of the trip for me.
The Opuwa detour changed our Etosha plans ... initially we were going to stay in a lodge near the eastern entrance, but Greg came up with a new Etosha plan to make it work with the Opuwa visit. On our fourth day we drove to the western entrance of Etosha, and had a great game drive through Etosha to the Okaukuejo lodge, where we stayed for the fourth night. Greg drove us on another great game drive the next morning before bringing us to the airport in Windhoek for our evening flight.
We had a jam-packed 5 days, with lots of driving throughout the northern half of Namibia. Days began early in the morning and ended in the evening. I changed our plans throughout the trip. But all worked great, thanks to Greg!
Greg was also great to talk to, and we learned a lot about Namibia from him. He is very educated and knowledgeable (eg, he had a prestigious Young African Leaders Initiative fellowship in the US). We all enjoyed getting to know him.
I highly recommend Lark Journeys to others.

Amazing, perfect, familiar!
This trip, 9 days across Namibia with all the treasures this country has to offer, was one of the most beautiful, adventurous, dreamlike, unforgettable, exciting and impressive vacations we have ever taken. And made possible for us by 'lark journeys'! We have rarely received such warm, loving, competent, funny, perfect, uncomplicated and familiar care and support in planning our adventure as we did from you! The agency name 'Journey' encompasses everything: a path they walk together with you, a trip that becomes breathtaking, a road with endless destinations, an adventure you will never forget!
Thank you for this incredible time with you, in this breathtaking country. Thanks also to John our driver and guide who became a friend by the end of our trip - his calmness, his knowledge of his country, his patience to explain and show us everything, his safe driving style and his pleasant presence - there is no better.
We definitely want to come back!
Thank u so much ♥️🦒

Friendly and highly organised
Our Namibian holiday through Lark Journeys gave us a personalised itinerary that took in Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland and Etosha. The accommodation organised by Claire and Greg at Lark Journeys was amazing and every activity was fun and interesting. The entire trip went like clockwork and in our opinion was value for money. Lark made our trip a breeze - we flew between each destination and had 10 wonderful days. We highly recommend Lark Journeys to organise your Namibian safari.
Excellent

Immaculate and attentive arrangements
Enquired about an off the shelf tour and ended up with a custom made trip and couldn't be happier about it. Claire was very attentive and helpful in suggesting the itinerary and activities to match my interest, especially being a sole traveller, and was very quick in correspondence. The trip was planned perfectly from the itinerary, to the schedule and the execution. I can highly recommend Lark Journeys for a straight forward yet tailored experience of Namibia.

A top notch personal touch tour operator who provided an amazing Namibia safari holiday.
Claire from Lark Journeys organised the most amazing Safari Tour for us with a personalised touch and we had the most fantastic tour all around Namibia and it’s beautiful people, landscape and environment. Willem our guide was fantastic, and it was a great benefit to have his local knowledge and company. Lark went above and beyond helping us when my luggage went astray and sorted beautiful accommodation. Generally nothing was too much trouble and I would recommend using them without hesitation.
