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.

Friendly and competent, NTN have the expertise and contacts to make your holiday truly unforgettable
Amber Lynn from NTN helped us plan our 2-week self-drive tour of Namibia. She was able to accommodate our requirements and her suggestions (eg for guided tours) to improve our experience proved right in all cases. We had a fantastic holiday in wonderful places. Wildlife and landscapes were mind blowing, and people all over Namibia incredibly friendly and open. The lodges we stayed at were all of high standard and the food was excellent. NTN provided us with a day by day description of our tour, accommodation, sites to see and directions, which proved accurate given that the navigator does not really work that well in remote locations with no usual addresses. Thank you NTN and Amber Lynn from four happy travellers.

Nature Travel Namibia provided us an unforgettable wonderful safari experience
We had never traveled to anywhere in Africa but decided to check on safaris in southern Africa this January. We liked the 14-day safari itinerary listed online from Nature Travel Namibia and connected with Amber who was very helpful in the process, answering our many questions quickly and thoroughly.
Our family of 4 had an unforgettable 14-day private safari this June through Namibia (Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein, Etosha, Caprivi) and Botswana (Chobe), ending at Victoria Falls. The information we received with the booking was very detailed, informative, and spot-on. Our guide and driver Wilson was wonderful: extremely knowledgeable and great to travel with. We are glad we had him as a driver, rather than driving ourselves. This way we could relax and enjoy the landscape along the way and the animals during the drives. Plus we learned a lot about this beautiful part of Africa by chatting with him. We were glad we had the car/van for all the activities, since it was an enclosed vehicle (with a pop-up top) which kept us warm during chilly morning games drives. The lodges (mid-range) Amber had booked for us and the staff there were also gorgeous and the food was delicious. We came into this not knowing what to expect, hoping to see many animals, seeing this part of the world, and we came away having had an absolutely fantastic experience. This trip was worth every penny! Thank you to Nature Travel Namibia for arranging this for us!! We can highly recommend you.

Superb Tour, Excellent Guide, Fantastic Time.
We booked a 2 weeks tour of Namibia, specifically requesting at the time of booking, that we wished to do a private photography tour. We had no great expectations, only hoping that we would get value for money and at least be taken to places where we could get good photos.
Well, to say our expectations were exceeded beyond our imagination would be an understatement.
Our tour consultant, Petra, was very easy to communicate with via email and provided us with ample information in relation to the tour. We asked for a number of changes to the tour itinerary throughout the negotiation process, and she was only too willing to assist. Every email we sent requesting changes or information about the trip were promptly replied to by email and taken care of. The whole process of booking the tour was hassle free and smooth.
Our guide for the tour, "Buzzy" was not only very knowledgeable about photography and where to take us, his knowledge of flora and fauna in Namibia is beyond amazing. He took us to many amazing places and showed us many spectacular sights. He was able to point out different birds to us and give us good information about the birds, wildlife and plants and trees that we were seeing.
To top it off, he was also a great person, very friendly and easy to get along with. We had many laughs together which made the trip more enjoyable, if that was possible.
If you are looking for a great tour, whether it is general interest or something specific, like photography, then this company is definitely the one to go with.

A top notch experience from start to finish
I found Nature Travel Namibia recommended in the Rough Guide and, after reviewing their website, got in touch with them about our trip. From start to finish they were incredibly responsive, helpful and professional.
Whilst we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do, Petra really helped us hone the trip and offered some great adaptations to our plan, particularly the recommend for Jackalberry camp in the Caprivi Strip. She then handled all the booking and organisation of transport, accommodation and activities, both for Namibia and Botswana, following up with an extremely detailed itinerary document covering all possible information we could need.
Everything ran flawlessly at each stage of the trip - not one issue across a whole month, though even if there were I wouldn't have been concerned, as Petra and her colleagues respond so swiftly to any query or contact.
A particular shout out goes to their choice of car rental company - Warthog 4x4. They were excellent, taking us through everything we might need to know about the vehicle in great detail, and making us feel utterly confident about heading out on our own. NTN clearly check their suppliers and people they recommend, which is of great reassurance too.
Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Indeed, I already recommended them to several people we met whilst on our trip! An excellent company providing great service.
