Great tour for solo traveller
Had a last minute work trip to Namibia, and was lucky enough to have Nature Travel Namibia arrange a tailor-made trip that fit into my limited travel time, with very short notice. Had a fantastic time, my tour guide was incredible and very knowledgeable and can thoroughly recommend Nature Travel Namibia.

An experience of a lifetime - brilliantly organised
My wife and I recently did a 10 day safari across Namibia and Botswana, ending with a visit to the Victoria Falls organised by Nature Travel Namibia. Their execution was flawless despite the complexity of the trip we planned. Nicolette, who organised our itinerary in collaboration with us, was extremely responsive to all our requests, made excellent choices for us in terms of places to visit and accommodation, and provided us with a superb guide, Marius, who was friendly, helpful, informative, knowledgeable, and responsible. Everything worked like clockwork, and we had the trip of a lifetime.
With regard to the trip we covered Etosha, Caprivi (BwaBwata National Park), Savute and Chobe before ending at Vic Falls. While Savute was the highlight in terms of game viewing (amongst other things we saw the rare African Wild Dogs) we had spectacular game sightings in all parks covering all of the 'big 5'.

An unforgettable trip
We just completed a 14-day privately guided trip through Namibia. We started in Windhoek, headed south to the Kalahari, then further south to Kolmanskop, headed north to the Sossusvlei and Swakopmund, then through the Skeleton Coast to Damaraland, finishing in Etosha. What a magical trip. An incredible country made even better by the itinerary put together by Petra. Every detail was considered, every lodge jaw-dropping, she anticipated everything, including highlights and even when we might be fatigued and need a little pampering at one of the lodges. Our guide, Buzzy, knew everything about the flora, fauna, history, and culture of our travels. He spotted things I would have driven right by, and provided context to the incredible scenery (without that you are really just looking at a postcard.) I do not have enough superlatives in my vocabulary. I will say that I have a general rule that I do not go back to a place I have already visited, but I will make an exception to that rule here.

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.

Nature Travel Namibia is an excellent tour operative; great communication and organization.
My husband and I embarked on an incredible journey to Namibia, guided by the expert Wilson and meticulously organized by Petra, of Nature Travel Namibia. This adventure left an indelible mark on our hearts, weaving together the wonders of wildlife, stunning landscapes, and rich cultural experiences.
Our adventure began with the iconic climb of Dune 45 in Sossusvlei, where we stood atop a mesmerizing vista in the Namib Desert. The sense of accomplishment and the surreal beauty of the desert still fill our memories. Another highlight was Deadvlei, a place that felt like a dream – a white clay pan surrounded by dead trees and towering dunes, a sight beyond words. Wilson's insights added a magical touch to this extraordinary place.
The Damara Living Museum, Himba village, and Bushman experiences offered us rich cultural experiences connecting us deeply with Namibia's indigenous cultures. Our visit to the petrified forest took us back in time, where ancient trees turned to stone, and we marveled at the history and geology of this unique place. Here, we also had the privilege of encountering the remarkable Welwitschias, fascinating living fossils.
Our drives through Etosha National Park were perfectly tailored to our interests, providing two days of thrilling game viewing in one of Africa's premier wildlife reserves. Wilson's expertise and passion for Namibia's natural wonders made every moment unforgettable.
Wilson's graciousness and enthusiasm made him not just a guide but a cherished companion on this journey. We'll forever treasure our time with him.
In summary, our adventure with Nature Travel Namibia was nothing short of exceptional. It showcased the best of Namibia, perfectly aligned with our interests. The memories we've created will stay with us forever. I wholeheartedly recommend this journey to fellow travelers seeking a customized, well-organized, and awe-inspiring exploration of Namibia. Our heartfelt thanks go to Wilson, Petra, and Nature Travel Namibia for making this trip a dream come true.

The trip of a lifetime
It often feels a little risky doing business with an overseas company, especially if you don’t personally know anybody who has used them, but we were so pleased and relieved that we chose Nature Travel Namibia to make the arrangements for our trip to this amazing country. Our entire trip went smoothly and according to plan. If there were any hitches, we certainly weren’t aware of them. From the first email we sent to the last, Amber Lynne was professional, helpful and very prompt with her investigations on our behalf. She asked all the right questions of us (even when she knew it was going to lead to more work for her) and answered our questions as quickly as she could. She was a pleasure to deal with. We were very happy with the standard of the accommodation (mid-range), the vehicle (perfect for game viewing and in great condition) and, as you’ll read soon, our guide.
From our experience, travelling in Namibia with a private guide is the way to go. If you can scrape together the budget to do it this way, you won't regret it. The guide does all the hard work (and the driving, which is a big deal) and shoulders the stress while you get to sit back and simply enjoy your holiday. The guide knows where to find the best lookout points, the best places to eat (or just to have a stop) and the best game viewing spots. If they know what they are doing, they will quickly figure out your interests, point out the things they know you will want to see on your travels and tell you all sorts of interesting things along the way. Our guide was Joram, and he was great. Nothing we wanted to see or do was too much trouble for him and he was a crucial part of what made this trip so fantastic.
Our tour was based on the 11-day Classic Namibia (extended) safari on the Nature Travel Namibia website with a couple of extra days tagged on. We’d originally looked at the 8-day safari, but we were all pleased we decided on the longer one. The distances between places are vast, so to be able to spend a bit more time in each area is well worth it. We had read a warning about luggage being delayed going into Windhoek and that is exactly what happened to us (and several other people we spoke to). We had already decided to spend a day in Windhoek prior to starting our safari to get over our jet lag a bit, and when our luggage didn't arrive, we were very glad we did.
Namibia is a country I’d been wanting to go to for decades, so I had very high expectations. Well, this holiday exceeded those expectations. It honestly was the trip of a lifetime for our family of four adults, and Nature Travel Namibia deserves the credit for making it so. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Perfect organization
Me and my wife asked Nature Travel Nambia to organize our 5 days Safari in Nambia and we receieved prompt assistance from Amber. She was very kind since the beginning answering all our questions and requests.
She quickly offered us a satisfying intenerary around Etosha natural park with very well chosen lodges to stay. Everything was perfectly detailed and organized. This organization made us very comfortable ready to enjoy our safari
Arrived in Nambia, we met our tour guide Delano who is a very passionate about nature, animals and his country; we appreciated his passion.
We spent great days "gaming" with him enjoying wild life and chatting about many different subjects. He was super kind with us (and we're sure he is with anyone) .
Based on our experience I'd certainly reccomend Nature Travel Namibia to anyone who needs a perfect organization and prefers to live the experience together with someone local

Prompt, efficient and well organised.
Amber from Nature Travel was very responsive and organised our intense agenda to perfection. Delano was a great driver, we felt very comfortable and entertained throughout the entire journey. The properties we stayed were beautiful, with great food and excellent customer service. We truly enjoyed our vacation in Namibia.

Professional, exceptionally organized and a friendly tour operator. Highly recommended!
We booked a private 9 days travel through Namibia and it was exceptionally good. Everything was perfectly organized. Started with the planning of the trip. Amber Lynn was amazing. The communication was very smooth and friendly. She always answered very quickly to all our questions, requests, etc. She planned the perfect trip for us according to our budget and wishes. It was a real pleasure to plan with her. Thank you Amber Lynn!
The whole trip was very well organized, from the pick up from the airport, the lodges and excursions to the drop off at the airport. You don’t need to worry about anything, just enjoy the trip. We had our private car with our private driver/tour guide Lucky who was amazing. He has such a great knowledge, (about wildlife, Namibia, Africa. You could ask him everything about everything), happy personality, is an excellent safe driver and always went the extra mile to make sure our special requests we had during the trip were taken care of. He made everything possible for us which we appreciated a lot. We couldn’t wish for a better guide and travel companion. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable trip for us. We will come back for sure and of course will book the next trip with NTN!

Perfect match, fulfills all your wishes
Our experience with Nature Travel Namibia was absolutely incredible. Petra, the travel planner, truly made our dream trip come to life. She listened carefully to all of our preferences and made sure to incorporate every single one into our itinerary. Petra was always quick to respond to emails and proactively suggested a variety of options that perfectly matched our travel style.
During our trip, we even had the pleasure of meeting Petra in person, and we were struck by how enthusiastic and passionate she was about ensuring that everything went smoothly. Her dedication and energy really added a personal touch to our adventure.
What really stood out was how affordable the entire trip was, without any compromise on quality. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we would absolutely plan our next adventure with Nature Travel Namibia again. Highly recommended!
