Ci siamo appoggiati a questa agenzia per affitto auto e tour, mi ha seguita Andrea, un ragazzo molto disponibile e paziente, è sempre stato sul pezzo ad ogni mia richiesta e domanda. Sono super organizzati, veramente competenti, sia in fase di prepartenza (sono arrivati dei video alla mia mail) per farci conoscere la 4x4 affittata.. al ns arrivo in Namibia la navetta ci ha portato al rent a car e da lì in briefing sia della macchina che delle strade e del percorso (ci hanno consegnato una cartina) (vi consiglio di scaricare le mappe offline x maggiore sicurezza ) il viaggio è stato incredibile, paesaggi spettacolari e animali stupendi! I lodge che abbiamo scelto ci hanno lasciato a bocca aperta (compresi i miei figli adolescenti 😉)! Consiglio a tutti Explore Africa Travel, tutto perfetto!! Chiedete di Andrea!!

Explore Africa organised a trip to Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) for us. It was perfectly organised, even though we booked at short notice. Our questions were always answered promptly.
The trip went smoothly, the lodges met our expectations and the guides were all very knowledgeable.
We took home many impressions and memories from this trip and can highly recommend Explore Africa.

Andrea, Helene, and Pierre at Explore Africa organized the trip of a lifetime for our party of 4. Accommodations were what we expected and the communication from Andrea was as immediate as could be given a 6 hour time difference. The attention to detail was very helpful for our 4 week self driving safari in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. We highly recommend Explore Africa!

Persoonlijk contact met een vaste reisadviseur, Jasper gehad. Ik kon hem altijd bellen,appen of mailen als ik een vraag had. Reis is een aantal keer aangepast naar mijn wensen of activiteiten later bijgeboekt. Niks is te gek. Ze denken met je mee, ook twee keer met de receptioniste gespart. Bij aankomst geweldig ontvangen in Namibie door Helena, je krijgt helemaal zin in het avontuur door haar enthousiasme. Onze vlucht was in de avond laat vertraagd naar de volgende dag waardoor er meerdere dingen in het programma gewijzigd moesten worden. Ik belde op met het noodnummer ter plaatse en ze dachten meteen mee en hebben alles kostenloos omgezet. Géweldig! Ik ben dankbaar.

We spent 30 days in Namibia on a self drive tour, combining stays in lodges with camping in our Toyota HiLux with roof top tent. The experience overall was fabulous. We did approx 5,700 kms and went as far south as the Orange River, bordering South Africa, to Swakopmund on the West Coast, to Epupa Falls on the Angolan border, then back to Windhoek. The accomodation selections were generally great, however the government run camp sites were usually run down, dirty and the showers & toilets were less than average. Olifantrus Camp Site in particular in the Etosha National Park is definitely one to stay clear of! Our suggestion would be to stay a minimum of 2 nights everywhere. We stayed only one night on a few occasions, but after a full days travelling (a 4 hr drive can easily end up being 6), by the time you set up camp the day is done & you have to pack up and get away early again the next day. If you don’t have a month to spend, you could easily forget about going South to Fish River Canyon, etc. Whilst it’s a great thing to see & the accomodation at Canyon Village was exceptional, it’s a lot of driving to get there!
A couple of tips for Explore Namibia. 1) For the colder months, an extra blanket would be great. It could stay packed under the mattress & brought out when needed 2) For anyone less than 6’ tall, you really need to supply a small fold up step to access the fridge & fold up the roof top tent. We ended up buying one for N$180 which was absolutely perfect & made the camping experience so much more pleasurable
Lastly, a comment on Explore Namibia. We found them an excellent company to deal with - great communication, excellent app for the phone detailing everything you could want to know on a daily basis. We were met by Helena at Asco Car Hire to pickup the vehicle & she gave us a thorough run down on the trip ahead. Very friendly & helpful

Renting a 4x4 vehicle for self-drive in Namibia and Botswana.
Upon arrival, full assistance and a detailed explanation of how to use the vehicle. The vehicle received was practically new. Drove about 9000 km in a month, half on untarred roads and never had any issues. They guarantee recovery in case of problems. Transfers to and from the airport were perfectly on time. I highly recommend.

Ci siamo affidato ad Explore Africa Travel per organizzare la nostra vacanza in Namibia e non ce ne siamo pentiti.
Ci hanno organizzato il servizio di noleggio auto e le sistemazioni notturne in campeggi/guesthouse, entrambi i servizi ottimi.
Sono stati gentili e professionali a rispondere ad ogni nostra domanda sia a distanza sia in loco quando ci hanno spiegato nel dettaglio il nostro itinerario. Sono sempre stati disponibili a venire incontro alle nostre esigenze.
Tutto ottimo!

Everything. All in all awesome and a great experience.

We really enjoyed our stay in Namibia thanks to Explore Africa! They organised everything so nicely. In this way we could enjoy our vacation fully without worries! The people are all so nice and we loved the lodges they booked for us!

Namibia will stay in our hearts, thanks to Explore Africa Travel!
We are all thrilled with the trip—Namibia enchanted and surprised us from the very first to the very last day.

The accommodations were each more welcoming than the next: the most enchanting was undoubtedly Onguma in its private reserve, but also unforgettable were the views and starry skies at Sossusvlei Lodge, the stunning landscape surrounding Twyfelfontein Lodge, and the rhinos grazing at Waterberg Wilderness Lodge. Villa Vista was also absolutely lovely.

The GPS was extremely useful, especially since we didn’t have Wi-Fi or navigation on our phones.

The car service was perfect as well—especially the handover of the vehicle, which came with a thorough technical explanation.

Finally, the dedicated app was incredibly helpful, along with the printed guide and paper map.

So a big thank you to all of you—who knows, maybe we’ll have the chance to plan something together again!

Explore Namibia / Explore Africa is good and reliable agency. They organise things excellent and do what they promise. Their prices are reasonable.

Explore Namibia heeft voor ons een geweldige reis samengesteld voor 10 dagen Namibië. Eind april hebben we met z'n achten in twee auto's o.a. Sesriem, Swakopmund, Damaraland, Etosha (Okaukuejo) en Waterbergplateau bezocht. Vanaf het eerste moment was alles goed georganiseerd door Explore Namibia, met campings op ontzettend bijzonde locaties, mooie auto's, gastvriendelijke guesthouses en toffe excursies.
Zo hebben we kunnen kayakken met pelsrobben, op een quad door de duinen gecrosst, gewandeld bij neushoorns en leuke game drives gedaan. Gaaf om zoveel giraffen, zebra's, olifanten en antilopen in het wild te zien. Helaas geen leeuw of jachtluipaard gezien, waarschijnlijk doordat het in Etosha erg groen was door de hoeveelheid regen. Maar dan hebben we een extra reden om nog eens terug te gaan naar Namibië. 😉

Het contact met Explore Namibia van tevoren én de meet & greet op locatie waren erg prettig. Onze reis is meer dan geslaagd, mede dankzij Explore Namibia. Ontzettend bedankt!

A really good experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful from the very first moment. They put us at ease, explaining everything we needed to be able to undertake a week-long trip to Namibia. We rented a Toyota Hilux with an integrated tent. Inside the vehicle there was everything we needed to be able to cope with camping in the best possible way, from the fridge, dishes, sleeping bags, sheets etc.
Excellent experience, recommended.

Goede reisorganisatie, veel know how over Namibie, combi met Asco car hire is ook een voordeel. Hele reis prima uitgezicht en vastgelegd. Keurige reisinfo gepersonaliseerd, in app en op papier. Bij aankomst in Windhoek werd alles nog eens goed uitgelegd. Door overvloedige regen moesten we enkele dagen omgooien in de planning. Werd goed geregeld.
Mag wel zo !

We have rented a car with roof tent in march 2025. From the very first request from our side all worked really excellent with them. Always fast answers, and all to our satisfaction. Clear recommendation!

Explore Namibia helped us plan our visit to Namibia. From car rental to accommodation, everything was meticulously planned. Highly recommend them!

we had a great experience, Pierre was very helpful and made everything easy. would highly recommend.

Wir haben eine Reise durch den Norden Botswanas über Explore Africa gemacht und wurden von der Angetur ziemlich enttäuscht. Eine gute Nachricht: die Betreuung vor der Reise war sehr gut, aber dann… Wir haben den Eindruck bekommen, dass diese Firma nie wirklich in der Regenzeit in Botswana war, und sich schon gar nicht aktuell über die Wetterlage informiert hatte. Wir hatten einen Toyota Hillux mit 2 Zelten obendrauf, der für den Großteil der Strecke zwar geeignet war, nicht jedoch für die Strecke Maun - Khwai. Die Straßenverhältnisse dort waren schon seit 4 Wochen dort so schlecht (überflutete Löcher), d.h. wenn man sich wirklich dort auskennt, weiß man so etwas.. So etwas sollte man als „Experten“ wissen. Sie gaben als Zeitangabe einfach eine Google Zeitangabe an, die einfach ein Witz ist. Eine Botswana Reise kann man nicht nach google berechnen. Pfützen knie bis hüfttief, die riskiert hätten, den Motor kaputtzumachen. Strecken, die entweder gar nicht oder mit 7 Stunden mehr einplanen nur machbar gewesen wären. So etwas muss man als Experte wissen! Alle Leute, die wir unterwegs getroffen haben und selbst, die die dort wohnen, sagen, dass man die Reise in der Regenzeitz nie unter 8 Stunden schafft. Wieso gibt die Agentur eine Reisezeit (von google übernommen) von 2 Stunden an? Obwohl das Phänomen nichts Neues ist. Seit 4 Wochen waren die Straßen so! Und ich möchte gerne betonen, dass wir erfahrene Afrika- und auch Jeepfahrer sind. Nie wieder im Februar ein Auto ohne Schnorchel buchen, wenn man Richtung Kwai fährt. Ich könnte viele Details aufzählen, aber alles in allem: oft genau die falschen Campingplätze gewählt. Wir sind teilweise ausgewichen und haben unseren eigenen Plan weiter gemacht. Ich habe in meinem ganzen Leben meine Reisen selbst geplant, und das werde ich definitiv auch weiter tun. Einfach die falschen Orte, Campingplätze, Lodges von der Agentur ausgesucht. Teilweise waren sie auch richtig, aber eher die Ausnahme. Schade.. Leider also nicht zufriedenstellend. Ganz abgesehen von einer absolut miserablen Betreuung vor Ort, wenn das Problem z.B. der Fahrt angesprochen wurde. Es ging einfach nur darum, Schuld von sich zu weisen… Wären wir wirklich Touristen gewesen, die auf eine Agentur angewiesen gewesen wären, wären hier Hilferufe im nichts verendet. Zum Glück sind wir schon ein ganzes Leben lang gereist und konnten uns in vielen Situationen selbst helfen. Explore Africa: eine Enttäuschung, vor allem das Büro in Namibia als Betreuung.

We got perfect information, up-to-date. It was absolutely clear. They explained everything very well.
It was a perfect program, we enjoyed it very much.
