A Journey of a Lifetime – Perfectly Curated by Blue Crane Safaris Namibia
We just returned from an unforgettable trip to Namibia in May 2025, and we cannot recommend Blue Crane Safaris Namibia highly enough. From start to finish, every detail was flawlessly arranged, creating a truly seamless and enriching travel experience.
A special thank you to Petrina Kautondokwa, who helped us design a tailor-made itinerary that was perfectly aligned with our interests and pace. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and local insight made the planning process effortless and enjoyable.
Every lodge and camp she selected offered stunning settings, excellent service, and an authentic atmosphere. From the towering dunes of Sossusvlei to the wildlife-rich plains of Etosha and the wild beauty of the Skeleton Coast, Doro Nawas and Hoanib River each destination was a highlight in its own right.
Our guides were outstanding—knowledgeable, personable, and truly passionate about Namibia. We always felt safe, well-informed, and inspired throughout the journey.
Blue Crane Safaris Namibia delivers not just a holiday, but an unforgettable experience. If you’re considering exploring this breathtaking country, we wholeheartedly recommend booking with them—you’ll be in the best hands

The tour with Me-Gusto was a wonderful experience.

FLEXIBLE AND WELL ORGANISED
Arriving in Walvis Bay on our yacht,the crew of SV Moonbird were looking forward to exploring the Namibian desert.
We found Blue Crane were the only tour company willing to create a bespoke tour for the 5 of us at short notice. Our guide, Sydnie, collected us from the waterfront and thus began a brilliant and packed tour itinerary that took us to all the main sites we had been hoping for. Sydnie was extremely knowledgeable, and his kind and friendly manner made the trip very enjoyable, and his driving was excellent. We really enjoyed staying at the desert lodge, and the sunset drive. We even had an afternoon cooling off in the pool. All the facilities and partner organisations were top notch. Sydnie even arranged a birthday cake for one of our party!

Blue Crane Safaris, and our guide Me-Gusto Busch, left nothing to be desired! Amazing service.
If you're looking for an amazing experience with knowledgeable guides, you must book with Blue Crane Safaris. This tour far exceeded our expectations. Everything - from the drives, scenery, wildlife, accommodation, restaurants, etc. - was beyond anything we had imagined. Our guide looked out at every corner to make sure we were safe, enjoying ourselves, and experiencing Namibia to the fullest extent. I would definitely book with Blue Crane Safaris if I return to Namibia.

Excellent tour with Blue Crane
We went in a 15 day highlights of Namibia tour for small group in November. It turned out that we were only 2 as some others had to cancel, so it was like a private tour for us. When arranging the trip Derek always answered our questions immediately and it all went were smoothly to book. Our guide Sammy was excellent in every way, a lot of knowledge and experience and a good sense of humour. He made sure everything went smoothly and did everything to make our trip a wonderful experience. All the lodges and hotels were beautiful as well as the food being top class. We travelled over 4.000 km and saw an amazing variety of scenery and landscapes, as well as learning about the different cultures in different parts of the county. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Blue Crane Safaris

Amazing 18 day private tour
In October my wife and I went on an amazing 18 day private tour with Blue Crane Safaris and we couldn't be happier.
From the first contact when we were initially looking at small group tours through to the final booking of what became a bespoke private tour, Derek was always prompt in his responses and patient with my many questions.
Our tour covered both the south and north of Namibia over 18 days and we travelled 4,500km including Windhoek, Intu Afrika Kalahari Game Reserve, Fish River Canyon, Luderitz, Namib, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein, Palmwag, Etosha National Park and Otjiwarongo.
We enjoyed beautiful scenery, had some great experiences and saw spectacular wildlife. The accommodation was very good and included some amazing properties.
The safari vehicle was very clean, comfortable, spacious and well air-conditioned with sliding windows and a pop-top roof for 360 degree views and photos.
Our driver/guide Frank was exceptional - a skilled driver, with detailed knowledge of the country and its wildlife, a great sense of humour and a lovely guy.
Thank you Derek and Frank we had a great time.
We highly recommend Blue Crane Safaris.

Highly professional and very competent
The trip, the car, the overall organization and above all the performance of our guide Me-gusto, as well as the beauty of Namibia, were simply exceptional. I have seen more than half of the world, but this trip was truly memorable. The knowledge of Me-gusto about Namibia, his discipline, sense of responsibility, and his ability to connect with my family, were definitely one of the many highlight of our trip.
Thank you Derek and the team at Blue Crane Safaris!

Excellent
The experience with Blue Crane, has been positive from the beginning.
Mr Derek answered to all my question in a timely manner, with accuracy and transparency.
The strength of Blue Crane was the program. Extremely detailed and exhaustive. Every step of the day was clear from sunrise to sunset, as well as what was included in the price and what not.
The tour (21 days) fully confirmed my first impression.
On top of that, the Guide (Sammy), has been extremely kind and helpful.
Always available and an endless source of information !
Strongly recommended !

High Quality Namibia Adventure with Blue Crane Safaris
Recently returned from a fantastic 12-day luxury safari in Namibia with Blue Crane Safaris. From the earliest stages of trip planning to our final drop-off at the airport, Blue Crane Safaris exceeded expectations. Overall their communication, service, value for money, and reliability were all top notch. Our amazing guide and driver John helped insure an unforgettable experience from start to finish. His deep knowledge of the flora & fauna resulted in multiple mind-blowing wildlife encounters in Etosha National Park that we would have otherwise never experienced. Could go on and on with praise for this company and our experience with them, but let's just say that i would be very, very surprised if you have any regrets in booking your safari experience with Blue Crane. A huge thanks to Derek and John for making a long-held bucket-list dream come true, you guys rock.
