10 Day Namibian Explorer (Camping)
Wild Dog Safaris were a highly reliable, professional and well organized group to deal with when it came to booking a tour of Namibia. I had a holiday with my three teenage sons, who had never experienced Sub-Saharan Africa before and this tour was an excellent introduction for them to the beauty of Africa. There was great variety in what we saw, excellent support, organization and catering from our two guides Gabe and Abi and a fun and relaxed atmosphere throughout the 10 days. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in a guided introduction to a beautiful, friendly and safe country.

The best trip with the best company!
I took the 14 Day Namibia Experience with 7 days in the South and 7 Days in the North. It was an amazing experience and Wild Dog was the best! Whole staff is very friendly, guides are very knowledgeable, & cooks are fantastic when they add their own flair. Camp sites are beautiful (the sunsets!), tents are easy to put up, and the buses are comfortable to spend the long drives on (Namibia is a big country and Wild Dog gives you the whole experience of seeing all the major attractions so you've gotta span the distances to get there -breaks are regular and it's never too much). The organization has clearly taken from their vast experience and listened to what folks feel like has worked in the past so everything is easy and smooth. There's a really nice balance between showing you things you wouldn't be able to get to on your own and/or they have inside knowledge about and letting everyone have free time to relax and explore without being led around. You'll get so much more out of the experience if you participate and want to get to know about the different sights. There were 8 people (including me) on each half and since most people were enthusiastic about and interested in the experience, we formed a great group both weeks!

Fantastic Trip!
We went on the 7 day Southern Swing camping tour. Everything was so well organised by Wild Dogs. Memory was so helpful and booked us airport transfers and accomodation in Windhoek before and after the tour. Milner and Joseph who took us on the tour were great - so friendly, fun and knowledgable. They took us to amazing places and the food was delicious! Thank you for making it such a relaxing and unforgettable trip!

Great experience: The 9 day Okavango Delta & Vic Falls camping trip exceeded all expectations!
I participated in the 9 day Okavango Delta & Vic Falls camping tour as a solo traveler. From the first moment on, I was delighted about the great organisation by WDS. My 7 tour colleagues and I, we felt well cared for and entertained all the time. Tour guide George and Camp Assistant Steven were always there for us and our desires. They created a great atmosphere for the group. Everything during the trip went smoothly and better than we could have had expected. The quality of tents and sleeping bags is outstanding, the safari truck absolutely perfect and comfortable. We enjoyed very beautiful days, stayed at great and pitoresque campsites, passed breathtaking locations - all in all an unforgettable trip! I already booked the next trip with WDS for January 2019.

Fantastic Self-Drive trip of Namibia!
What a wonderful and special experience - 12 friends (6 couples) planned this self-drive trip about 2 years ago and with the help of Wilddogs we had a fantastic route and lodges booked which allowed us to see a huge amount of Namibia - 10 different locations over 15 nights - more than 2000miles! We had 2 people carrier vehicles 2WD which were perfect and we loved the fact we could drive ourselves through this wonderful country. We headed south from Windhoek and stayed on the edge of the Kalahari, Fish River Canyon, Aus, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein, Etosha South and Etosha East, Okonjima. All the Lodges were lovely and everyone was so friendly and helpful wherever we went. The scenery we travelled through was stunning - long and hot dusty roads made very manageble by sharing the driving and cooler boxes in the cars (provided by Wilddogs!) It was great to have Wilddogs to manage all our bookings and expectations!

Superb! This was our dream holiday and we were able to see all of the wildlife we hoped for and more
We spent two weeks touring the northern part of Namibia with Wild Dog Safaris. It was an incredible experience and Wild Dog were brilliant throughout. Our tour was expertly put together by Memory Garises who was friendly, flexible and professional at all times and worked hard to secure us our dream holiday. Our tour guide Milner Kandjavera was amazing, ensuring that we made the most out of every day and was great company for two weeks. We would highly recommend! Anna, Mark, Matt and Elspeth

Incredible 7-Day Accommodated Northern Tour!
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Namibia. Honestly when I first looked at TripAdvisor I was skeptical of how a tour company could have such a high rating but can't say enough great things about this. Great accommodations, comfortable transportation, unbelievable sites, and best of all was our tour guide (Previous). His genuine enthusiasm for everything we did was obvious including his gentle nudging to get up at the crack of dawn to get the best animal sightings. He made a great tour truly spectacular with a lifetime of memories!

Professional organization of a 3-day trip to Sossusvlei
Having not booked with Wild Dog Safaris ever before, we felt it a bit of a risk a the time. Totally needless: WDS communicated clearly long before the start of the tour. The tour itself went smoothly and we were accompanied by a professional and committed guide. He clearly had our best interests at heart and was helpful with setting up tents, organizing the meals and guiding us through the Namib desert. Highly recommended!

Wild Dog Safaris offers outstanding quality and value, and really knows Namibia.
Our 14 Day Namibian Experience with Wild Dog Safaris was outstanding in every way. In this trip you will see every thing you every wanted to see in Namibia - this included several bucket-list items for me. The trip incorporates wonderful scenery and game viewing, amazing camp sites, the staff are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and really take care of their guests, plus the food was great. I have done several overland safaris with other tour companies, and Wild Dog is the best. I would highly recommend this company and tour for anyone wanting to see the best of Namibia on a highly enjoyable, informative tour, in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Delicious vegan food and friendly staff
I was grateful to once again be provided with vegan meals for a trip I did with Wild Dogs Safaris. On my 9 day trip I had some tasty meals prepared by our cook Joseph. The quantity and quality was great. Our tour guide Jason was also excellent in being not only knowledgeable but also approachable for any questions we had.
