Wild Dog Safaris opened Namibia's windows of extraordinary beauty & wild life with care and context.
The 7-Day Northern Namibia Safari excelled my expectations.
Organized to the T, we always new what was next in store, and as Namibia's absolute beauty opened up to us day-by-day we smiled and conversed and laughed and were awe-inspired the whole way.
Service came with utmost care and context.
Always safe we closed our eyes in the safety of good tents in camps--some of them--that will remain with us for always as the light of our fires burned down to glowing embers. Thank you Paulie for vegetarian fare, and George for running a tight 'ship', keeping us informed and a 'family' out in nowhere land. You were the best.

Etosha 3 Day Safari
The overall experience was amazing! The tour guides were accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable.The food was amazing and the campsites offered all required facilities to a high standard.
Prior to the Safari, I was well informed, and communication from Wild Dog Safari's was excellent (even though I was in another country).
The Safari itself was an awesome experience for the first time, it is all luck dependent as to what animals you get to see,

Great experience!
Our experience with Wild Dog Safaris was excelent! From the organization to the kindness of the guide/driver and the chef passing through the natural sightseeings included on the Sossusveil 3-Day Tour, all the animals we saw and the nice food we ate, the whole experience with this guys was very good. Everything was made on time, never delayed. Maybe the truck must be renewed because the one we had for the tour was a bit "old" ;)
Be sure we will take another tour with Wild Dog Safaris when returning to Namibia and we will recommend them to our friends and other tourist.

The tour with these guides was so amazing!!!
We had a really good experience with the communication with the operator. They answered every question and all employees were so nice and carefully since the first moment. Our safari guides were more than friendly and really funny. We laughed a lot and had so much fun during the 10 days. I can recommend these tour guides for your next safari tour in Namibia.

Experienced, knowledgeable guides, great food, interesting and varied agendas.
The guides were friendly and helpful, knew the facts about the different areas we visited, spoke good English, always courteous and often had a good sense of humor. The assistants/cooks also participated in putting up tents, made good tasting and varied food and lent a helping hand whenever needed.
I would only recommend changing one or two camp sites, especially Dqae Qare San Lodge. It had no water & no electricity. We heard there usually is some problem while in that camp.

An experience of a lifetime!
I went on Wild Dog Safaris 23 day tour (a combination of the 7 day north, 7 day south and 9 day delta and falls) and I had the most amazing time from start to finish! It was my first time visiting Namibia (and Botswana and Zimbabwe) and first time properly camping. Namibia is such a beautiful country and their tours really do cover all of the highlights. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much to ask. I really would recommend them to anyone and have been raving about them to all of my family and friends since I have been home!
The camping was so much better than I thought it would be. The tents are really big and all of the campsites are great! Most of them have brick built bathrooms and even the few that don’t it’s actually a really nice experience to shower under the stars (those turned out to be my favourite campsites). They are all so different and in such lovely places, most of them have swimming pools which are a god send at the end of the day! I was really pleasantly surprised with the food. I didn’t think it would be nearly as good as what it was and it’s amazing what the assistants can produce just on a campfire. I’m gluten free and all of the assistants I had always made a conscious effort to make sure there was food that I could eat.
Despite the long drives some days, the views are amazing and you get to see so much whilst you’re driving and it is essential to fit in all that you do in such a short space of time. All of the guides are great at making sure you stop off to stretch your legs, take pictures and buy cold drinks, etc.
There were so many highlights that I will never forget; the waterhole at Okaukuejo waterhole, Victoria Falls, bungee jumping!, Etosha, sunsets/sunrises (everywhere!), Fish River Canyon, Kolmanskop, Sossusvlei .. so many wow moments, the list is endless.
The whole experience really is what you make it. Go in with an open mind and you’re bound to have the best time! Thank you Wild Dog for giving me an experience I will never forget!
