- Taste of Namibia 7 Days DEPARTING MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS **Sustainable Approach to Travel
My family has just come back from doing a spectacular safari in Namibia. The safari took us through Etosha NP, Swakompund, Sesriem and Sossusvlei hosted by guide Steinner. Planning for the trip was smooth as Anna from admin was only one email/message away. Main highlights of the safari are the elephants in Etosha, Etosha pan shimmering in the sun, biking at Swakompund and the alluring beauty of Namibia. Hotel and lodges were nice and had good food. It was my ideal vacation!!!
- Taste of Namibia 7 Days DEPARTING MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS **Sustainable Approach to Travel
My husband and I had an incredible experience in Namibia thanks to Kalus our wonderful guide/driver for the safari. We were lucky to go with Kalus, he made finding wild animals appear easy, giving us the opportunity to see many different animals, stunning landscapes and be in time to our overnight spots. We have been on a number of safaris across Africa and this counts as one of the best trips of our lives.

More than excellent !! Quick response and very good value for money. Our tour guide Stefanus was excellent and an amazing multitasker. He took great care of us and accommodated all of our needs. Would repeat in a heartbeat!!

Travel Namibia your way
Witness the majestic wildlife of Etosha National Park, roam the timeless dunes of the Namib Desert, and meet the Himba tribes in Kaokoland. Catch the sunrise at the otherworldly Sossusvlei and stargaze at the Milky Way.
See all Safari toursFor active travelers, Namibia offers some truly remarkable experiences. Our most popular adventure tours combine game drives in Etosha National Park with fat bike riding through the massive dunes around Swakopmund. You'll get up early to climb Dune 45 at sunrise - it's tough going but the views across the desert make it worthwhile. The modified fat bikes let you explore areas regular bikes can't reach, and our travelers consistently mention how much fun it is cycling along the coastline when the tide allows. Several tours include overnight stays in traditional camps where you can watch wildlife visit the floodlit waterholes after dark. Our guides know exactly when to hit specific locations - they'll get you to Sossusvlei before the crowds and heat arrive, and they communicate with park rangers to find the best wildlife viewing spots. Many tours include unique stops like visiting the N/a'an ku se Wildlife Sanctuary, where you'll learn about rehabilitating injured animals and maybe see caracals, cheetahs and wild dogs up close. The driving distances are significant, but our travelers say the ever-changing landscapes and expert commentary from guides make the journeys interesting parts of the adventure themselves.
See all Active toursOur 7-day explorer tours let you really dig into Namibia's wildest places, and they're a consistent favorite with our travelers. You'll spend quality time in Etosha National Park, where skilled guides like Abel and Morne know exactly where to find elephants, rhinos and lions around the park's key waterholes. What makes these trips special is how they mix wildlife with raw landscapes - you drive through Damaraland's pink granite peaks before heading to the stark Skeleton Coast where old shipwrecks tell their stories. Our guests particularly love getting out early for game drives when the big cats are active, and later settling in to watch wildlife at floodlit waterholes. The lodging tends to surprise people too - you get proper rooms with private bathrooms and even pools right in the middle of the desert.

Top operators in Namibia
Looking at our travelers' experiences, Chameleon Safaris stands out with guides like Abel, Morne and also Beanie who really make the trips special. People who've gone with them often mention getting great value and traveling in vehicles that are kept in top shape. Yes, there are some long drives - that's just part of covering the territory - but seeing wildlife and landscapes along the way makes up for the road time. Discovery Tours gets good marks for their planning, and their guide Seven knows his stuff, though some clients pointed out issues with meals and payment processes that could use attention. Blue Crane Safaris has built up a solid reputation too, with Me-Gusto and Eve-Frans earning praise for sharing deep local knowledge during their well-organized tours. Between the three companies, Chameleon seems to handle the basics particularly well - maintaining their vehicles, hiring guides who connect with travelers and also keeping their prices reasonable for what you get. While Discovery Tours and Blue Crane both offer quality experiences, those little details around food and payments at Discovery Tours might matter depending on what you're looking for in a safari operator.

"We visited a huge amount of sites in Namibia without feeling time pressured. Our leader and driver, Erastus and Michael worked so hard and succeeded making the trip a pleasure for us all. This tour of Namibia is wonderful and I feel as though saw the best of this beautiful country. We learned a lot about the country as we toured.

"Peregrine Tour – Classic African Safari Feedback Overall experience: Excellent The principal objectives of this tour were all achieved. We were able to view and photograph nearly all the animals we hoped to see. We had good leaders and drivers and excellent company. Accommodation was satisfactory to excellent and transport was effective if subject to a few deficiencies. There were some hiccups but there was clearly a desire on the part of Peregrine to rectify these as possible. Health and safety One concern as that the transport truck on the last two legs had problems with broken bindings for one of the fuel tanks. The door to the passenger compartment also was jammed and could not be opened from the inside – a worry when we found ourselves sitting directly above the unsafe fuel tank. The door problem was eventually rectified but the fuel tank bindings broke a second time. Itinerary This was comprehensive and a reason we felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience most of the attractions of east and south Africa. The trip was certainly undertaken in an environmentally and socially responsible way. Culture We had good interactions with Maasai people, San bushmen and the Cape Malay community as well as with accommodation staff and other guests at the relevant venues. Local drivers/guides for the game drives were also communicative. Accommodation Most venues were excellent. There were some changes from the advised itinerary (which others in the party were given advanced warning of but we were not). Some of these were probably a change to better facilities (e.g. Lake Nakuru Lodge rather than Sleeping Warrior tented camp & Trailblazers Camp rather than Dqae Quare Lodge in Ghanzi). However, inability to stay a second night at Mopane Lodge, Damaraland and the need to move to Khorixas Rest Camp was a definite downgrade. Also the inability to stay at Namibia Desert Lodge and diversion to Swartfontein Hunting Lodge was a major problem given the additional time (2h15m each way) to reach Sossuvlei and Sesriem, despite the excellence of the Lodge itself. Half our group opted not to go on that day trip because of the additional time and the state of the vehicle. Transport – poor Activities – Excellent Meals – excellent The transport was something of a let-down. We appreciate that availability of good appropriate transport in Africa may be limited and what there is may suffer greatly regularly because of the state of the roads. Our benchmark was the truck used when we toured with Peregrine in Mexico last year which had been much more upmarket. However we had problems with each of the trucks used in Africa: 1) Kenya. Reasonable truck. There was no air-conditioning but it was not required in those temperatures. No microphone system for leader. Did have fridge and lockable safe. 2) Maasai Mara. Appropriate vehicles for game drives. Because of rains, tracks had become muddy and local drivers did not appear to have either expertise or equipment to cope and frequently got bogged. This caused a delay of over an hour for us to be picked up after a balloon ride. 3) Tanzania. Truck seemed similar to that used in Kenya but had problems with engine pressure and stalling so (thankfully) we had more time in game drive vehicles than planned. The truck also proved to be very leaky in both passenger and luggage compartments. 4) Victoria Falls-Cape Town. Truck was smaller than the previous two with uncomfortably narrower seats. There was a roof that could be raised but this was unsuitable unless people were very tall. The bindings securing it were continually failing so it rattled throughout. The actual roof was quite low and a real hazard for taller members of the group. It was not a suitable vehicle for an extended game drive (for which it was scheduled in Etosha) as those on inner seats would have had very limited views. The entire group opted to pay an additional US$90 each to use game drive vehicles provided by the lodge. There was an air-conditioning unit of variable effectiveness and initially it leaked badly and had to be switched off. There was no safe or fridge available. More seriously, half way across the Namibian desert, bindings for the second fuel tank broke. Some of the passengers helped to secure it temporarily with a chain and it was “repaired” in Swapokmund but promptly broke again the next day. Safety issues with the jammed door are mentioned above in “Health and Safety”. The transport company replaced the vehicle with a “Sprinter” bus which gave a much more comfortable ride over rough roads but had more limited viewing facility. 5) Namibian border. Because of the change of vehicle, the exit bureaucracy at the Namibian border caused major problems. The transport company were reputedly “too busy” to forward replacement papers for a few hours and we had to wait for 3-4 hours before we could leave the country. Crew Our leader on the first leg was excellent with good local knowledge and excellent communication skills. He demonstrated extraordinarily good prediction skills about the likely movement of animals. He was responsive to the needs and request of the group. The driver on our first leg was competent and safe. Our leader on the second and third legs was also first rate, enthusiastic, approachable, organised and communicative. Both leaders showed a commitment to a high level of responsible tourism. The driver on our second and third legs was also safe and helpful although did get caught a couple of times exceeding the local speed limit (we felt sorry for him as the signs had not been all that clear and helped with his instant fines). The roads were challenging to say the least and he coped well with the difficulties and the broken fuel tank straps. He was rather shy socially but did join the group and we enjoyed looking at his family photos. Booking process There were many emails back and forth but the local contact was always patient and helpful. Trip notes Some of these were out-of-date when we travelled but we had not been notified of alterations, especially regarding changes of accommodation (some others had received updating emails). Had the change to Swartfontein Lodge been notified well in advance with a caution about the transport distance but a well-deserved complimentary description of the lodge, this would have caused less disgruntlement among the party. General comment Peregrine may not be the cheapest tour company but do have a commitment to quality. When inevitable problems arise they do make a strong effort to ameliorate or correct them.

Best places to start your Namibia tour
Windhoek kicks off 93% of our Namibian journeys, though some travelers like starting from coastal Swakopmund instead. Looking at our booking data, you'll want to lock in your dates about 50 days ahead, especially during prime wildlife seasons and for popular spots like Etosha. Most of our guests spend 10-14 days exploring Namibia's highlights, whether they're going guided or self-drive. The gravel roads are actually really well kept with good signs, though you'll definitely want a 4x4 for getting to some of the more remote places. Swakopmund gives you a nice cool break from the desert heat - our more active travelers love hitting the dunes for sandboarding, heading out on quad bikes and also watching seals, activities that consistently pull in top marks from guests looking for some action.
Discover Namibia tours for every budget
Want to explore Namibia without breaking the bank? Our camping safaris put you right where the action is. The 7-day trips are a favorite, and guides like Seven and Lucas get brilliant feedback for their wildlife tracking skills in Etosha and knowing exactly where to catch the best views of those massive Sossusvlei dunes. You'll camp in comfort - proper showers and often swimming pools let you freshen up after dusty game drives. Our travelers love that the small groups mean everyone gets a window seat for spotting wildlife. Just pack a warm sleeping bag in winter though - desert nights can dip to 4°C.
Our premium lodges fit perfectly into Namibia's wild landscapes, and luxury travelers tell us they're spot on. The 10-day tours include all the special touches - private patios where you can watch floodlit waterholes, infinity pools facing endless desert and elegant Damaraland chalets with their own gardens. You'll have private 4x4 game drives in Etosha, sundowners with desert views and stays at intimate lodges where the staff quickly learn your preferences. The food is a real highlight, from Windhoek's sky lounge tapas to starlit gourmet dinners. Plus you'll get expert-guided visits to the Living Museum of the Damara people and early Sossusvlei access before the crowds arrive.

Our travelers often mention how nice it is to linger at wildlife sightings without having to move on with a bigger group.
Top Namibia travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our week-long Namibian circuits consistently rank among our most popular options. Our travelers particularly praise guides like Seven, Kalus and Stefanus who make wildlife spotting look easy while sharing deep knowledge about their country. These tours combine Etosha's wildlife with Sossusvlei's dunes and also Swakopmund's colonial charm. You'll watch elephants gather at floodlit waterholes, climb some of the world's highest dunes and see shipwrecks along the Skeleton Coast. The accommodations mix comfortable lodges with authentic desert camps - our German guests especially love the small group sizes that let everyone get window seats for game viewing. While there's quite a bit of driving between locations, the changing landscapes from mountains to desert to coast keep things interesting.

See all toursTen days in Namibia lets you really get under the country's skin. These longer tours include special experiences like seeing conservation in action at the Cheetah Conservation Fund and spending quality time with Himba communities to understand their traditions. You'll get full days tracking wildlife in Etosha, walking through Mondesa Township with locals and taking 4x4s through Sandwich Harbour where giant dunes drop right into the Atlantic. The pace works well - there's free time in Swakopmund for sandboarding or kayaking, plus peaceful moments at lodge pools watching zebras, giraffes and also antelopes visit nearby waterholes.

Our 7-day highlights tours work really well for solo travelers, and you'll often hear people talk about guides like Steinner and Kalus who know how to bring the group together. The lodges are comfortable with your own bathroom and most have pools - perfect after a long day out spotting wildlife. Groups stay small at 7-10 people, which means you'll quickly make friends while tracking black rhinos at Etosha's lit-up waterholes or climbing those massive dunes at Sossusvlei. The long drives between spots turn into social times naturally, with guides sharing cool facts about Namibian wildlife, culture and also geology that get everyone talking.
The 6-day desert and wildlife trips hit just the right notes for couples, mixing active days with quiet moments together. You'll stay in quality lodges where private verandas make the perfect spot for evening drinks after wildlife viewing. Swakopmund gives you flexible mornings - take it easy with beach walks or go for something more active like sandboarding. The lodges create natural spaces for romantic dinners under incredibly clear starlit skies, and those early game drives to catch lions coming back from hunting become moments you'll talk about for years. Our travelers often mention how the guides manage to give each couple personal attention even when traveling with a small group.
Our eco-conscious 7-day trips really connect with younger travelers by mixing wildlife experiences with cultural insights. You'll get active with quad biking in Swakopmund's dunes, learn about cheetah protection programs and spend time with Himba communities. The guides are particularly good at finding animals while teaching you about their behavior and how to track them. The accommodation switches between comfy lodges and desert camps - there's always a pool nearby and social spaces where younger travelers naturally gather. Early starts to catch the sun coming up over Sossusvlei and nighttime wildlife viewing at Etosha's lit-up waterholes give you those perfect shots that do well on social media.

September through November tours let you see Namibia spring to life after winter. Our 5-day tours focus on Sossusvlei dunes and coastal areas, with perfect timing for sunrise dune climbs before the heat kicks in. You'll reach Dead Vlei exactly when the morning light creates those stark contrasts with ancient camel thorn trees. Along the coast, you'll see flamingos at Walvis Bay lagoon during migration season and Cape fur seals gathering in their colonies. We've balanced the driving times nicely while fitting in desert walks, dune exploration and also local craft market visits.

For summer tours December through February, we adapt everything to make the most of cooler mornings and evenings. Our travelers particularly love the 7-day highlights tours with their early starts at Etosha's waterholes and late afternoon game drives when wildlife comes to drink. You'll stay at places with pools and shaded spots for those midday breaks. The 10-day premium tours are especially good in summer - think private verandas catching afternoon breezes while watching desert plains game. Our guides are experts at keeping everyone comfortable - scheduling hikes before it gets hot and planning sundowners with cool ocean views along the Skeleton Coast.

March and April tours work really well for wildlife viewing as animals gather around the remaining water.

Private tours are particularly good this time of year - guides can adjust things around the weather, maybe spending extra time at cheetah rehabilitation centers or visiting Himba villages. Our travelers love the permanent tented camps and lodges as bases, getting that perfect mix of outdoor exploration and comfortable amenities as the weather starts cooling down.

Our winter safaris in Namibia from May through August really shine - especially the 7-day wildlife and desert tours that our travelers consistently rate highest.

We also run excellent 6-day Etosha and Skeleton Coast combinations - you get both game drives and coastal exploration when the Atlantic fog creates these moody scenes along beaches dotted with shipwrecks.
