FANTASTIC
Everything was done for us and it all went smoothly. The only way to travel and we appreciated it greatly. We loved Namibia and the people that we came across. It was a wonderful trip and well worth the money spent. Organising for the next trip to get back there asap.

the right choice for Namibia :-)
Being a photographer, I had high expectations for Namibia... after some research on the web, I decided to entrust the planning of my trip to Great Explorations Namibia. Lilly has shown a great love for her work: always very kind and professional! She proposed a 15-day self-drive itinerary, choosing very interesting stops... I definitely couldn't have asked for more! I also greatly appreciated the lodge options (some truly spectacular, like Okonjima Plains Camp) that allowed me to experience this journey in an even more special way. I initially requested a couple of changes about the accommodations, and there were no problems, of course. Upon arrival in Windhoek, just before picking up the rental car, Lilly gave us a practical bag containing some Namibia maps (essential, I would say!), vouchers to be handed to the resorts, a general program with distances between each stop, descriptions of the places, and various recommendiations about what to do and see during each stop... all very useful! The bag also included a power adapter and mosquito repellent spray ;-). Naturally, if we had encountered any issues during the trip, we could have contacted Lilly at any time. Additionally, since we chose a Suzuki Jimny for the rental car, Lilly made sure to request an additional jerry can from the car rental company (since the Jimny has a small tank), along with a second spare tire. Very good value for money. In conclusion... thank you, Lilly, thanks to your organization, this trip was absolutely unforgettable!

Professional and reliable service
We did 14 days trip around Namibia and Lilly has done a great job in helping us to plan the trip. Every detail was carefully considered and planned according to our needs. All went smoothly from the beginning till the end. Very happy with the provided itinerary, accommodation, vehicle rent and the overall service which was great value for money. Highly recommended.

Great Service.
Contacted Lilly about a trip for March but had to change dates because of a family illness.
Lilly was great and set up a perfect schedule taking into account our preferences (wanted to include Fish River Canyon and Skeleton Coast). She was able to book accommodations/vehicle at short notice for June/July.
The route was great and the accommodations all good.
Lilly was available quickly when there was a very minor problem with a lodge in Etosha (not her fault) and we were able to choose from various options.

They were absolutely superb. Professional, always responded quickly, delivered the perfect holiday
I highly recommend using GEN. Great, prompt and accurate communication. Excellent knowledge of Namibia and created an ideal tour of the country for us as first time visitors. They dealt brilliantly with every aspect of our holiday and even accommodated our last minute panic when our flight home was changed. We are rebooking our next holiday with them now. Particular thanks to the brilliant Lilly who looked after us throughout our booking and the duration of our holiday

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