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.

A Namibian Dream coming true!
Nature Travel is an excellent tour operator who helped us in organizing a self drive tour in Namibia. Thanks to Nature Travel our Namibian dream came true :)
They offer a multiple choice of accommodations and price ranges, the communication was smooth and clear since the beginning, the booking conditions have been clearly outlined and they provided a customized self-drive safari according to our request. The tour operator timely answered all our clarification requests and the tour was very well organized, in all details.
The self-drive safari tour included the vehicle rental - toyota fortuner 4x4, 2 spare tyres and GPS included in the price and car fully insured, it was in an excellent maintenance status and perfectly adequate for our journey. In addition Nature Travel booked for us all the lodges, with breakfast always included and dinner as well in the most of the cases. The lodges are super nice and clean, with friendly and helpful staff, great accommodation. At our arrival, we have been duly briefed about the vehicle use and the itinerary, we met a Nature Travel agent who explained us into details the whole itinerary, by giving us maps and written guidelines. Thanks to this our self drive safari was very easy, and we enjoyed a lot the whole experience.
I am very satisfied of the service provided by Nature Travel Namibia and grateful for having organized everything so quickly (only 1 week before my departure)! I really reccomend this tour operator.

Excellent!!!
Based on the good reviews, my wife and I decided to choose Nature Travel Namibia for our trip to Namibia. Now that our trip is over, I can say that it was absolutely right choice. Petra's exceptional responsiveness in planning the route, where everything was planned down to the last detail, instilled confidence in us, which was also confirmed during the trip itself, which was very reliably led by Petra's husband Buzzy. We did the circuit from Windhoek, via Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, to Etosha east and west and finally via Okonjima back to Windhoek. All in all, 11 wonderful days in which we were able to see the breathtaking natural beauty of Namibia and a large part of the extremely interesting animal world and nature landscapes. All this overwhelmed us, so we will definitely return to this beautiful part of Africa for new adventures. And of course no doubt with which agency.
Petra and Buzzy - thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Fast, Efficient, Reliable, Understanding the needs, Available and very kind/supportive.
Nature Travel Namibia replied to me something like 10 minutes after I wrote them. I explained my wish to do a self-drive travel in Namibia,but I had no time to organize by myself, number of days and how we would have liked to travel (like camping but not everyday). Allison prepared the itinerary, booked the accomodation (mix of camping and guesthauses), the full-equipped car and keeping me always informed about the possible delayes or need to change few accomodations due to hish season (Easter holidays). They organized the pick-up at the airport through the car rental and we also met Nikita, a Nature Travel representative, that re-explained us all the itinerary, the best roads to reach places, general reccomendation, restaurants etc She also came with us to fix our problems with the Namibian SIM cards. The itinerary printed was perfect, road exlpained, suggestion where to buy food shopping and find petrol stations, the special places to find along the road and sometimes even tips on "timing" as distances can be very long. Once we had a little problem with the car fridge, they immediately organize where to go for a check. Above all we were really happy about the different accomodations they resevred for us, with a good mix of simple but very special campig (Like Madisa), inside the park Etosha or just outside but excellent camping. Few nights in nice guesthouses to be sometimes more comfortable than camping. Overall an excellent service, valuing the money for the quality and for being ad hoc tailored and not "just a travel agency". Looking forward to the next experience.
