4 weeks Roundtrip through Namibia in Camper

We made a remarkably nice experience throughout planning and during our trip. As from the start we met only kind and helpful people, although all communication had to be performed via what's app and mail! The whole trip was well organized and all arrangements worked as planned, A great thank you to the whole team! One short notice in addition: if possible, please try to avoid the government owned campgrounds (NWR). The infrastrucure is not in the best shape.

When we started planning our trip to Namibia, we decided to approach this a bit differently to what we normally do (book a hotel and transfers from place to place) and arrange our own self-drive 4WD with a roof tent to have the utmost flexibility in a uniquely remote place.
Our expectations were not only met but significantly exceeded as well, and that is for two reasons:
1. Self drive and camping was indeed the best way to experience Namibia. It gave us flexibility to tailor our trip to our wants and needs, as we were not bound by scheduled departure and arrival times and we were free to plan our travels through a country as big and remote as Namibia based on our preferred timeline. In addition, just by driving on the road, you had the chance to participate in an impromptu safari game as we encountered wild animals such as zebras, ostriches and springboks multiple times.
2. Explore Namibia had EVERYTHING organised for us. From the pick up and drop off to the airport, a comprehensive information pack upon our arrival, an extensive list of items that cover all camping essential gear, satellite phone (thankfully not needed but better safe than sorry), gps and most importantly, their partner had the 4WD in literally pristine condition for our really demanding trip.
We would definitely both the self drive camping option, as well as booking through explore.namibia without a moments hesitation.

De Toyota Landcruiser is een hele goede wagen om Namibië te doorkruisen. Alles was ook heel goed georganiseerd om de wagen af te halen bij de luchthaven alsook om hem te deponeren.
Al altijd een goede ervaring gehad bij jullie!

the rental car was perfect and well organised

The trip was very carefully organized by Andrea who tried to understand our wishes and preferences and everything worked out perfectly! The hotels and campsites were of a very good standard and the recommended excursions were excellent! The app you use for the trip is very useful and simple, containing all the information you need. The welcome on arrival is great, an Explore Africa staff member explains the itinerary and gives you all the details.
The car rental company used is excellent, the cars are new and in perfect condition.
The trip was perfectly organized and we will definitely travel with Explore Africa again!

Expolre Namibie organised a great trip for us. It was a self drive vacation with a 4x4 jeep. We had a good ofline app with all the information and tips, a nice book and map with all the details. The campings and lodges where good and comfortable.

Wir haben uns auf unserer Namibia Reise sehr gut betreut gefühlt, die Auswahl an Unterkünften und Aktivitäten waren perfekt ausgewählt auch die Tipps der Mitarbeiterin bei der persönlichen Übergabe waren hilfreich. Es hat alles reibunglos geklappt und wir würden "Explore Namibia" weiterempfehlen und beim nächsten Mal wieder buchen. Besonderen Dank an Helena, die uns sehr freundlich bei der Autovermietung emfpangen hat und an Silvia bei der gesamten Reiseplanung! Es war eine perfekte und absolute schöne Reise in Namibia!

It was a fantastic experience to visit Namibia with its rich wildlife, fantastic and breathtaking landscape. Met a lot of very nice people and had a very good time at several places.

To reach all these places, Explore Africa Travel has perfectly helped us to get there (from booking until return). We have rented a wonderful car in best condition and equipped. Explore Africa Travel team gave us perfect introduction and was super friendly, literally reading and answering the questions we had. We can only recommend. We'll come back and will count on Explore Africa Travel team again.

Explore Namibia is an excellent option if you are a solo traveler, especially if your budget is not very high and you prefer to explore on your own.
They take care of every detail and are very kind and helpful.

They have great customer service, from the moment I made the first phone call from the UK, to the moment we left Namiba they were just excellent, Firstly the initial planning of our route was very well thought out and they personalised the route as we seemed to modify it a number of times. The hotels and camping places recommended by them were excellent. They also provided us with a smart phone App that had loads of detailed recommendations including a comprehensive map and route description. This App was super easy to use, very helpful. The vehicle they provided, a Toyota HiLux with all the camping kit was almost new with only 25k km and ran wonderfully during out hire, it was spotless when we collected it and nothing went wrong for the entire 2 weeks. Our office contact person addressed any inquires both before the trip and during it promply. We also regarded the costs as very reasonable both in terms of explore Namibia and the costs of fuel, food etc in the country. Would not hesitate to return again and use this company.

Explore Namibia is een Top organisatie! ALLES is geweldig in een gestoken tot het kleinste detail. Wij hebben echt van alles genoten met geen enkel min-puntje. Het is echt een aanrader!!!

Die Tour wurde gut vorbereitet. Das Auto Toyota Hilux war neuwertig und lief ohne Probleme und hatte eine sehr gute Ausstattung mit Zusatztank, Wassertank, Werkzeugen und Campingausrüstung. Wegen der kalten Nächte ist allerdings neben der mitgelieferten Bettwäsche ein Schlafsack zu empfehlen.
Explore Namibia hat eine gute Tour zusammengestellt und war sehr hilfsbereit, als wir auf dem Hinflug 2 Tage in Johannesburg festsaßen und dadurch der gesamte Reiseplan kurzfristig geändert werden musste.

Het was een geweldige ervaring om met Explore Africa onze reis te boeken. Ze hebben in alles meegedacht en de overdracht in Botswana was ook uitmuntend. Vooraf is er veel communicatie geweest en de reis is door Jasper in de puntjes uitgewerkt, met al onze wensen. In Boswana was alles goed geregeld, alle informatie was voorhanden. Zelfs toen 1 van onze koffers niet was meegekomen met het vliegtuig is er door Explore Africa gezorgd dat deze op onze bestemming werd nabezorgd.
Al met al het was een onvergetelijke ervaring en fantastisch geregeld. AANRADER

Het Explore-team dat onze geplande reis invulling heeft gegeven verdient 100% credits. Ondanks dat we relatief laat (februari/maart) ons plan doorgaven (self drive Namibië/Botswana met 50% lodges en 50% kamperen) is het het team gelukt om de meeste campings en lodges te kunnen boeken. Waar het 'vol' zat heeft het team absoluut goede alternatieven uitgezocht. Mede door de inspanningen van het team hebben wij als gezin (4 personen) een meer dan prachtige vakantie beleefd. De ontvangst in Windhoek, de extra informatie en alle reisdocumentatie was zeer professioneel geregeld. Het heeft ervoor gezorgd dat wij 100% konden genieten van waar we voor kwamen.
Absolute aanrader om via Explore Namibië je trip te laten regelen.

I have now travelled 4 times with Explore Namibia.
The accommodations/camp sites are always booked accordingly to our expectations. Sometimes even above our expectations.
Suggestions and advices are always pertinent and well meant. Reply times can sometimes vary as the people in charge of your file go and visit the places they suggest.
The cars provided (with ASCO) are always good.

We had no experience traveling in Africa so needed someone to work with to organise basically everything for a self-drive trip over 4 weeks of Namibia. This included accommodation and car hire. They gave us a suggested itinerary which we adjusted to allow us to see some things of interest to us. The changes were done with no fuss and we were given an updated itinerary to view on-line each time.
Airport pickup and drop-off were part of the itinerary so we could just sit back and enjoy the experience from start to end.
Before we picked up our hire care we had a face-to-face final briefing and got our accommodation vouchers plus a printed copy of our itinerary that included things to see and route maps/driving instructions for every destination. This proved invaluable as we were off-line for most of the trip and referenced the hard copy itinerary a lot. I used it as a diary as well and have kept it as a souvenir.
We had no problems with the accommodation or vouchers. All the destinations expected us. We were able to just drive from place to place with confidence.
Would we do it again? Yes. Plan to go back in 2 years and we will use the Explore Namibia team again.

Our journey was organised perfectly by Explore Namibia, they choose the accommodations and made the reservations. We were really surprised with all the beautiful places where we spent the nights.
In advance we received a lot of information that was very usefull during the trip.

Wir haben uns auf dieser Reise perfekt aufgehoben gefühlt, sowohl was die gesamte Organisation betraf, die Locations, welche für uns gebucht wurden und das Material mit dem wir für die Reise ausgestattet wurden.
Es fing vorab schon mit der Planung an. Wir teilten unsere Wünsche mit und es entstand sehr schnell ein professioneller Reiseplan auf einer Internetseite, welche uns schon sehr früh mit Bildern und jede Menge informativen Links einen guten Eindruck über die Reise vermittelte. Wir wurden uns schnell einig und bei der Bezahlung erhielten wir auf Rükfrage Feedback, dass die Vorauszahlungen und finale Zahlung angekommen war - hier könnte man etwas proaktiver reagieren.
Wir erhielten kurz vor der Reise dann eine App, welche in sehr kompakter Form alle Informationen für unsere Reise enthielt, was sehr hilfreich war, da man alles an einer zentralen Stelle abrufbar hatte - riesiger Vorteil: alle wichtigen Information (Locations mit Buchungsnummern, Wegebeschreibungen, etc.) waren in dieser App lokal gespeichert und man brauchte kein Internet, was auf der Reise auch nicht immer zu Verfügung stand. Dann vor Ort wurden wir vom Flughafen pünktlich abgeholt, erhielten eine sehr umfassend Einweisung in unser Fahrzeug von einem sehr kompetenten Mechaniker und konnten alle unsere Fragen bzgl. der Technik loswerden. Dann erhielten wir von einer Mitarbeiterin der Agentur eine sehr umfassende Einweisung in alle Stationen unserer Reise und auch sämtliche Informationen, welche wir schon über die App in elektronischer Form vorliegen hatten, noch einmal in Papierform, was auch wieder ein sicheres Gefühl vermittelte. Und so gut wie der Start war, verlief auch die ganze Reise. Wann immer wir eine Frage hatten, war unsere Agentur für uns erreichbar und hat uns weitergeholfen. Alle Locations waren perfekt gebucht und es gab nie Schwierigkeiten. Die Wegebeschreibungen waren für uns sehr hilfreich und gut "nachfahrbar" und auch die Rückgabe des Fahrzeugs und der Rücktransport an den Flughafen verlief völlig problemfrei. Ein bessere Organisation und Durchführung unserer Reise hätten wir uns nicht wünschen können. Vielen Dank dafür und wir können eure Explore-Namibia nur allerwärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Great organisation! Friendly people, lot of knowhow, good advices. We will return!
