5* from beginning to the end!
5/5

At the beginning i wasn't sure if a 3000km SOLO trip through Namibia was the right thing for me.
But already at the first contact with Great Explorations Namibia i no longer had this fear and i felt ready for this adventure.
My contact person was Anja. Out of several tour providers i contacted on safari booking she was the one with the quickest and most detailed response. Anja is very uncomplicated and organized everything really fast in close contact with me.
When i arrived in Namibia she was waiting for me at the car rental and gave me a folder with the most important informations etc. so the journey could start carefree.

Now i'm at the end of my 14 day adventure. I can say i couldn't have a better Namibia experience!! A perfect route and the accommodations also exceeded my expectations by far. Even if Anja offered me that I could contact her at any time if there were any problems, it didn't come to that because the trip was simply perfect and I enjoyed every second here. A true 5 star experience, they live up to their name; GREAT EXPLORATIONS NAMIBIA!
In this sense thank you Great Explorations Namibia and a BIG thanks to Anja!!!

Unforgettable 5-star self-drive safari adventure with Great Explorations Namibia!
5/5

Our recent self-drive safari with Great Explorations Namibia was an extraordinary journey that took us through the breathtaking landscapes of Namibia, the Chobe region in Botswana and the magnificent Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Great Explorations Namibia made sure that every moment, from the impeccable organization to the exciting activities, was simply incredible. The professionally prepared and coordinated trip with a reliable and comfortable off-road vehicle allowed us to explore the beauty of southern Africa with joy. The support from the team was invaluable and we felt well taken care of and accompanied throughout the entire journey.
The accommodation chosen was the perfect blend of comfort and beauties of nature. The lodges and tented camps were ideally located and offered breathtaking views and impeccable service. The culinary offer was a real treat for the senses, pleasing us and leaving no wish unfulfilled.
Lilly and her team deserve special praise for their dedication to delivering an exceptional experience. Their attention to detail and responsiveness have elevated our trip to a five-star level. We are delighted to share this review, knowing that Great Explorations Namibia will carry on providing inspiring journeys that expose travelers to the beauty of Africa in a truly remarkable way.

Super service, fast, reliable, attentive, proactive - before, during and after the trip
5/5

Great Exporations Namibia allowed us to have a fantastic self-drive Namibia tour, in a very short notice and high season - with good selection, attentive service (bring a SIM card for Namibia at our first arrival at the B&B in Windhoek is a great example). Fast response - a matter of minutes and hours - and in our case making possible to ask for a quote on July 25th, while we haven't yet booked our flight for August 3...for a 17 days, semi taylored trip. The package with vouchers, itinerary, description, the selection of locations, the prices, etc were aligned with the local market prices. Very good. Anja was fantastic.
Since it was our first time in Africa, and we were really a bit concerned of self-driving in Namibia, and everything went sooo smooth, this has been a very important part to opening up for us African travels. Thanks Great Explorations and Anja

Effective
5/5

The agency (our consultant Anja) was very fast responding since the 1st email that we exchange. Suggested the itinerary that we liked and changed it according to our wishes.
Available 24/7, which was useful as it turned out when we experienced some issues during our journey. Good choice of accommodation, also good value for money.

Excellent Tour Operator for a worry-free experience in Namibia
5/5

We chose to contact Great Exploration Namibia after trying to book our trip ourselves, which was challenging as we tried to do this only 3 months ahead of our trip.

Planning & Booking process;
We heard back from Anja very quickly and the initial contact was really welcoming and thoughtful from the start.
We had agreed on an itinerary per day within a short time through quick communication by email, followed by choosing a list of activities to book alongside the accommodations. Anja isn't afraid to push back on some initial ideas that would not be recommended or would be a bit rushed, this is great as I might be a bit enthusiastic at times. Once all was agreed all got booked in no time and followed up by a very helpful online itinerary with map, accomodations with day-by-day itinerary, and more. Anja sent through all of the vouchers for accommodation and activities separately by email. Payment was smooth and paid by Creditcard online.

Arrival;
We got picked up from the airport by the car rental company Namibia2Go, the driver was helpful and waited while we got cash out of the ATM and bought a SIM-card. Anja met us at the Namibia2Go site and gave us a pouch with all required documents, vouchers, roadmap etc. even 2 books for bird-spotting and animals to spot at Etosha which we've used while exploring Namibia.

During trip;
We've experienced no hiccups during our trip, all was booked correctly and had easy check-ins along the way. Whenever we had a question about an accomodation/activity we had a quick follow-up from Anja through Whatsapp. The accomodations booked were all excellent considering availability within the area.

We really enjoyed our trip and did not have to worry about accomodation/activities, would recommend booking through Great Explorations Namibia

Great Experience!!
5/5

As a traveler that is used to plan trips alone, I was skeptical about using a tour operator, but I can say it was worth the investment. Allison was INCREDIBLE and really helped me find the best options for our preferences. We spoke for weeks before the trip, she adapted the itinerary to what we wanted to do and the period we were staying. They helped us in getting a SIM card and in making last minute changes due to a delayed flight. I can’t recommend them enough! thank you for everything, Allison, and Lili.

Great experience with a self drive camping tour
5/5

We did a 16 day self drive camping tour with Great Explorations Namibia. The itinerary was very well put together, and the choosen accomodations/car rental company were great.

Our travel consultant, Allison, was really nice and managed to plan the whole itinerary very quickly, since we booked this last minute.

Highly recommended.
