I joined a 3-day tour in February for visiting the Namib desert, starting from Swakopmund and finishing at Windhoek. The tour was locally organized by the agency Wild Dog Safaris. We were 14 people: 12 tourists from all over the world, the namibian tour guide Daniel and the chef Frans. We first visited the flamingos in Walvis bay, then we had a long way accross the desert, some stops at Naukluft Mountains in which Daniel explained the interesting geological history, before stopping at Solitaire to have ice cream (!), drinks and apple pie and taking some pictures in the cars cemetery. We arrived late afternoon in in Sesriem Campsite, very well organized: there is also a bar with cold beers and juices, and you can get safe tap water coming from underground, so you don't need to buy big plastic water bottle in Swakopmund! After relaxing by the swimming pool (!), we climbed a dune to enjoy the beautiful sunset in the desert.
The following morning, early wake up to climb Dune 45 and see the stunning sunsrise! Later we visited Deadvley: a unique place in the world! I decided to climb Big Daddy and I saw the breathtaking views of all the area: highly recommended if you are fit enough! After lunch and relaxing around the campsite, when we visited the beautiful Sesriem Canyon. We saw the sunset together with many baboons, then we spent the night under the starry sky.
The following morning, a log way to go back to Windhoek, stopping by a green area where we saw many orixes, giraffes and zebras.
It was an unforgettable experience and I have so many beautiful memories about this adventure. The guide Daniel was super nice, the chef Frans very professional and prepared also different menu for vegetarians.
About Namibia Tours & Safaris: Anja was very professional and provided quick replies for every question, the tour price was the same as organizing direcly with Wild Dog Safaris. The only note for improving the service: I asked for renting a sleeping bag, and in the tour plan there was written that it could be hired, but it was not possible because Namibia Tours & Safaris doesn't have a shop. So I had to take my sleeping bag from home, which takes a lot of space, and later in the Sesriem campsite Daniel asked if I needed a sleeping bag since they had spare! So Namibia Tours & Safaris should have asked Wild Dog Safaris to reserve a sleeping bag for me, this way I would have had more space in my luggage.

My wife, 4-year old, and I wanted to visit Namibia, but had lots of questions about tourism during COVID lockdowns in the country as well as accomodations, car rental, and all of the other details that go into making a trip successful. I reached out to Namibia Tours & Safaris only two days before we were planning on flying in from Zambia, so it was super last minute! Wilmari, immediately contacted me and answered all our questions and created a custom itinerary for our trip down to the last detail (including reserving a COVID test at our hotel). Needless to say, this company put our minds at ease about planning a trip last minute, and it went off without a hitch! All of the staff we interacted with were top-notch, and the services they reserved did not disappoint. Wilmari stayed in contact with me via whatsapp and I was able to ask her questions as they arose. I highly recommend Namibia Tours & Safaris to anyone visiting Namibia. They are worth it!

We spent 8 days on a self drive in Namibia and Bonique helped us organize the hotels for 6 of those nights as well as helpful advice on the route, how much we could fit in and what to see. The route and advice turned out to be perfect, especially advice not to try to get to far on the first night after landing in Windhoek. The service and follow up was excellent. The accommodations were great. We actually stopped in the offices in Swak on the way through to pick up a small cash refund due to a change in booking we made, we got to meet Bonique and see the offices, very professional. The meet and greet on arrival in Namibia was helpful and the little extra including refillable water bottle and canvas bag were really helpful as was the route map.

We stayed in:

Immanuel wildernesss lodge
Etosha Lodge 2 nights
Melansrus tented camp
Protea pelican hotel Wallis Bay 2 nights (using Marriott points)
Sossuvlei Lodge
Into Africa camelthorne lodge

I highly recommend Bonique and the tour operator. Also highly recommend Namibia and doing a self drive. Get a 4x4 if you want to pack as much in as we did (3200 km in 8 days)

We travelled to Namibia in October 2020 having postponed twice because of COVID, it was without doubt one of the best experiences we have ever had.

We spent 16 days travelling in a Toyota Fortuna 4 x 4 on a self-drive tour organised and fully booked with NTS. From the very beginning the coordination and interaction with Tessa and Wilmari was superb, even allowing for our constant needs to change dates, everything was flawless. We were even accompanied by Wilmari for our COVID test on day 7 which has since been stopped and is no longer required.

Upon arrival in Windhoek we were met by Ronnie and transferred to the car hire company offices in the city where we had the itinerary explained to us, along with a GPS pre-loaded with all of the addresses we needed and a local mobile phone. In addition, the vehicles are all fitted with tracking devices so that the route can be monitored in the event of problems when out of phone coverage. The vehicle and all of the paperwork was fully sanitised, plus 2 spare tyres were also carried.

Our only regret, which by no means reflects upon NTS was the lack of other tourists in Namibia as we found we were quite often the only guests at the different lodges that we stayed in and some interaction with other guests would have been nice.

Namibia is a vast open country with beautiful scenery and wildlife, plus very friendly people. With a low population and few people outside of the major towns and cities it's significantly safer than Europe with regards to COVID and everywhere we stayed/visited health protocols were followed stringently.

Communication and support from the whole staff was flawless. From the email communication before the trip, the meet and greet at the airport and hotel went perfect.

On our arrival in Windhoek our 2 luggages didn't arrive with us. Hoping that the 2 suitcases were still in Johannesburg (transit) airport, our next problem was the impact of delay in our travel itinerary. We booked a self-drive tour and we're staying in Windhoek for only 1 night and the next destination was 6-hrs. drive, so we planned to leave Windhoek as early as possible. But our luggages?

Namibia Tours & Safaris took the burden from us. They offered to contact Air Namibia themselves, and update us from time to time on the status of our luggages so we can continue to enjoy our holiday. Thanks to Chantelle and Simone´s support, we were able to enjoy and proceed as we have planned without further delay.

The 4-wheel drive vehicle was also in perfect condition. We got a spare tire, an emergency mobile phone, a very good map (with gas stations info), contact lists was also provided, information on what to do in case of a problem or emergency and there is also a handy cool box provided.

As a very structured person myself, I would say that Namibia Tours & Safaris did an excellent job. I couldn't think of any flaw on their customer service. I was happy choosing them and I can recommend them highly.They made our African safari tour unforgettable.

NTS planned a 15 days self drive tour of Namibia for our family (we have two kids 12 and 10). We drove a 4wd from Windhoek to central kalahari, sussusvlei, swakopmund, Damaraland, kowarib, sesfontain, etosha, okonjima and back to
Windhoek.

The trip was beautiful and flawless organisation wise! We had lots of fun and we had experiences we will remember forever.

The planning started in September 2019 for a trip already fully booked when COVID hit. NTS rebooked everything for 2021 and then again for 2022. In all this process NTS was always professional and understanding and we always felt supported no matter the difficulties every tour operator must have been through in those days.

We appreciated since the planning phase the first proposal of lodges but also the willingness to understand our budget and our needs in order to find the best solution for us! So we ended up with a perfect mix from self catering accommodations to up scale lodges. We tried the experience of a tended camp, of luxury lodges and farms, we stayed inside etosha resorts for two nights and outside for 2 other nights, so we really did try lots of different accommodations style. We would go back to all of them for different reasons. The one we liked less is the one we insisted on and NTS was not really keen on booking for us!😄.

The planning was done by Ulrike and finalised by Julia with a detailed itinerary with lots of info and possibilities. She also checked up on us during our trip. We also appreciated the introduction done by Carlo (informative, straight and fun) and his last minute suggestions!

Namibia is a beautiful and welcoming country. Self drive in Namibia it is easy and fun, we spotted a lot of animals just self driving. Combining self driving with guided activities is a way to get the most out of your trip (including things you cannot do alone) without loosing the sense of indipendence and adventure that the self drive gives you.

All activities booked through NTS were top notch and carried out by highly skilled and reputable guides and operators. At the same time whenever requested NTS accommodated our own requests, either by letting us book them ourselves or by incorporating it into their planning. They really are flexible.

Both during the planning phase and during the trip the communication was fast and effective, we always felt the sense of safety and security we want from your local tour operator.

All in all a highly recommend choice!

We just came back since less than a week to our beloved Italy and are already thinking about NTS for our next trip…

I did a 15 day privately-guided tour of some of Namibia's highlights, including the Kalahari, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damarland, Etosha National Park, and the Okonjima Reserve. The customer service from the onset was outstanding as Ashlee and her team at NTS helped customize the best tour. They were flexible, quickly responded to emails, and offered several options throughout. NTS was professional throughout, and I would not hesitate to use their services again.

As a guide, Jurgens Strydom was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgable on everything Namibia and its fauna and flora. More importantly, he was personable, welcoming, and always in high spirits; his passion for his country and guiding was clear every day. I strongly recommend him to anyone searching for the perfect guide to help explore this beautiful country. I would seek him out for any return visit to Namibia.

Our family of 11 had a South African holiday booked through Namibia Tours and safaris. We had previously used them to arrange a wonderful Namibian holiday. Again, all arrangements were very professionally arranged and the quality of accommodation and our drivers was excellent and very good value. Their suppliers in South Africa were also of the highest standard and and very professional. It is a pleasure dealing with Wilmari and her team at Namibia Tours and Safaris and we have recommended several friends who have all had the same excellent experience. We are seasoned travelers and appreciate and recognise top service and advice as supplied by Namibia Tours and Safaris. Looking forward to the next adventure booked through them !

Namibia Tours and Safaris organised a month long trip for me, incorporating a 12 day safari, stay in Swakopmund and two lodge stays and all the connections and transfers, something I would never have managed on my own. Their assistance and experience enabled me to have the most wonderful time exploring Namibia, seeing many places, experiencing new things and having lots of adventures!

I spent almost a year liasing with Namibia Tours and Safaris to make sure I was able to do the things I wanted to do and to stay where I wanted to. They were always happy to give recommendations for where to stay and activities to do, and emails were mostly answered within 24 hours. I wanted a more budget conscious trip and sometimes it was difficult to convince them to suggest budget accommodation, Namibia is full of lovely luxury lodges but they are not always the best option for those trying to stick to a budget! I wasnt able to do some of the things I wished to do, though this was due to travelling solo and not being able to meet minimum numbers for activities and also not being able to afford the private tour rates. Namibia Tours and Safaris tried really hard suggesting alternatives where possible and checking just a few days beforehand if there were groups I could join. Almost all of my transfers worked perfectly thanks to NTS organisational skills, though I had to chase a few the day before as they seemed to have forgotten....quite understandable given the number of transfers I needed over a month long trip!

The information and itinerary I was sent was perfect, easy to use and gave a run down of each day so I always knew what I was doing and when I needed to be somewhere! It was great to have it all on the Travelkeys app.

I would recommend NTS for organising your tour and I will use them again. Just bear in mind most tours they organise for people are not for the budget conscious without a bit of persuasion and if you travel solo off-peak only mainstream activities will be possible, unless your budget stretches a long way. Go for it!

We spent a ten days holiday in Namibia in September 2019. We were late in making all reservations because we didn't know that Namibia was such an interesting destination. Available accommodations in lodges were vanishing quickly, and our dreamed holiday threatened to disappear.
With the help of the Namibia Safari Tour (NST) agency, we were able to obtain quickly all last accommodations that we desired and composed that way a tour we envisioned in Paris.

Needless to say that everything that was agreed and booked by the NST was perfect and compliant with the specifications we had. That's why we recommend NST as the high-end tourist agency that one can trust in every way to organize one's holiday in Namibia.
