Great company to arrange your trip to Namibia
Nature Travel Namibia, and Petra Joell helped us in organizing a customised 12 days self drive tour in Namibia.
Petra was always quick to respond, she was very professional, the communication was very smooth from the beginning and the tour was well organized.
We booked lodges, cars and activities and everything work out fine, even last minute requests!
Namibia is a great place to travel to and I highly recommend to use NTN!

A perfect trip, perfectly planned by NTN
The 11-day “Etosha, Caprivi, Chobe & Vic Falls” private safari that we booked with Nature Travel Namibia was absolutely amazing!
We had never done an organized trip like this before and didn’t really know what to expect. Everything was planned to perfection by Amber. All the lodges where we stayed were great, for accommodations, food, location and staff (we especially loved Mushara Bush Camp). While we would have loved to stay in Africa longer our work schedule did not allow that - but the way the 11 days on this trip were planned was perfect. Just the right amount of time in each location, so we got to enjoy the uniqueness of each place and got to see and experience so much. Everything worked smoothly in every one of the places where we stayed, with no problems on the whole trip.
Email communication with Nature Travel Namibia before the trip was very easy and informative. Amber answered our many questions patiently, helped us to prepare well for this trip that was so different from any vacation we had ever done, and made sure all the optional activities we chose were booked and paid for, down to the dinner reservation at the Lookout Cafe.
Our tour guide Stewart was wonderful – very knowledgeable, intelligent, reliable, enthusiastic, and always up for some fun (like a game of “Whose chosen animal will we see the most of on the drive between Etosha South and East?”, which the zebras won with 1015!). Stewart was as excited as we were for the incredible wildlife sightings we had and was very respectful to the animals and their habitat, which we really appreciated (we saw later on a game drive organized by a lodge how other guides crowd the animals and ruthlessly invade their space). He has an amazing eye for wildlife and was able to spot and identify so many animals for us.
We had so many amazing wildlife encounters, from a leaping Lion (on the first evening nonetheless) to baby Elephants and even African Wild Dogs! We saw all the Big Five and so much more!
The only disappointment was the drive through Bwabwata National Park, where we saw almost no animals, as there had been controlled burns along the major highway we were on.
It was so eye-opening to see the difference between the desert in Etosha and the paradise that the big rivers that we did boat cruises on (Kavango, Kwando and Chobe) provide for the wildlife. I am so glad we chose this particular itinerary, as we got to experience these very different habitats, and I would highly recommend going on the boat cruises, as each of these 3 rivers is so unique.
And capping the trip off at Victoria Falls for something completely different was the perfect ending to the trip of a lifetime.
This trip definitely exceeded our hopes and expectations!
We are looking forward to coming back in a few years to explore more of Namibia with Nature Travel Namibia and Stewart Matsopo!

Wonderful trip with many memories
Our first time in Namibia, and we had a wonderful experience with Nature Travel Namibia. NTN helped us customize our itinerary to our interests and very responsive throughout. They adjusted accommodations as per our budget and guided us on how to complete our trip in the 2 weeks we had. Our guide knew Namibia like the back of his hand and we learnt a lot about the region and its people. His enthusiasm for Namibia made our trip so much more enjoyable. We highly recommend Namibia for the beautiful landscapes and wildlife that you won't find anywhere else. Lastly, we want to mention that we had a travel issue enroute, and Nature Travel Namibia went the extra mile to adjust our bookings and trip planning. We really appreciate how much they care about their clients and we wish our trip was longer :)
We enjoyed Sossusvlei the most. It's beautiful at sunrise as the light changes. The view from the dunes is surreal. Another fantastic experience was Sandwich Harbour where the dunes meet the ocean. Namibia has no end to fantastic landscapes, and no visitor will be disappointed.

Nature Travel Namibia is a friendly, knowledgeable and well organised tour operator
Our guide Joram looked after all our needs. He knew his way around all the places we visited in 10 days. He was punctual at all times and made sure we were comfortable. The vehicle was ideal for game viewing in Etosha and Joram’s knowledge of animals and birds was good. All in all we had a great time!

Best Trip Ever
I was part of a group of five wildlife photographers who toured Namibia for two weeks with Nature Travel Namibia. Having never been I didn’t know what to expect but my experience far exceeded my highest hopes, and I came home with far more experiences and “keeper” images than from any prior trip. It was my best trip ever, and I’ve done wildlife photography tours on 6 continents.
We stayed in four different lodges and they ranged from very nice to posh. I was especially impressed with and enjoyed Onguma Bush Camp and Mowani Mountain Camp. The menus were varied and delicious with good choices for all palates. We moved between lodges in Nature Travel Namibia’s spacious and comfortable van. Our game drives used the open trucks with three bench seats belonging to each lodge.
Our guide, Nick Buys, was fantastic. He’s a wildlife/conservation veterinarian who also is an experienced game tracker and birder. I’m convinced we saw twice as many animals and behaviors due to his direction than we would have done with another guide. He not only found numerous animals, but also predicted when they would move, where they would move, and positioned our vehicle so we could capture unique images when they did. He was a master at suggesting when to change locations and when to stay; we often sat while other tourists near us drove away, only to see dramatic animal action soon after.
Nature Travel Namibia took great care of us, from our airport pickup to our final airport return. All travel, meals, and lodging were arranged, but Nick also made changes on the fly as our schedule changed and in accordance with our goals. He booked extra game drives and activities whenever we had down time and made sure they were private rather than group ones. He made sure our meals were available when we got back late. He even arranged for veterinarians in our group to observe a cheetah immobilization and health assessment at a wildlife sanctuary. Nick is truly a wildlife expert and fountain of knowledge. He was friendly, funny, and interesting, and a great companion. He meshed with our group as if he was an original member.
Our trip exceeded every expectation. I would book another trip with Nature Travel Namibia in a heartbeat and hope to do so again soon.

Be careful if you sustain an injury during one of their tours
Despite advertising that they carry comprehensive insurance, this company will deny any responsibility if during one of their tours you sustain and life changing injury as I did. They arrange all activities and accomodation and therefore it is reasonable to expect that they will accept a duty of care. They do not. Do your research before selecting your tour operator, make sure you are covered.
