Reviews for Namibia

We loved this trip from start to finish. It was challenging at times, and we found there to be very little down time, but we would do it again in a heartbeat! Communication in the planning phase with both Responsible Travel and the host company was excellent and we felt in good hands throughout the trip, both on the ground, with our guide and driver who were competent, careful and very informative, and back at base where we felt we would have good back up in the event of any incident.

Stunning!...Dawn at Sossusvlei. Flying over the dunes the next day. The bleakness of the Skeleton Coast. Quadbiking on seas of sand. Driving across endless expanses of desert. The sky at daybreak - at sunst - at night. Encountering Giraffes, Elephants, Lions, Rhinos, Zebras and a host of other animals in their natural habitat.read more

Outstanding. This was a fantastic trip and one of the most memorable trips we have ever done. Every day was an adventure. I can't say that any one day was the most memorable as the whole trip was beyond all of our expectations.read more

This is a trip of a lifetime made all the more real by camping. There are memories I will carry with me for the rest of life. It will stand out as one of the most amazing times I've experienced. The whole trip was incredible but the Namibian landscape, particularly Spitzkopf was one of the highlights.read more

Excellent. All of it, but Okonjima -Plains Camp and Africats- was the very best with wonderful wildlife viewing, leopards and cheetahs.read more

We had an amazing time in Namibia and many of the experiences we had there will stay in our memories for a long time. The scenery there is incredibly beautiful, and the environments are so pristine. We were able to see a very wide range of wildlife at incredibly close quarters.read more

Amazing - we saw so much wildlife and our guide and driver, Blessed and Albie, were fantastic, as was Rati who took us through Moremi game reserve and could not have done more to find elusive animals...read more

A fantastic experience. The time with the cheetahs and baboons is of course very special, but above all it's about being part of something with a bigger purpose! Flying down to Neuras with N/a'an ku se founder Ruedi Van Vurren and hearing about the wider work of the foundation. A unique experience, well worth every extra penny.read more

It was an incredible experience and I would 100% recommend to anyone interested in wildlife and dramatic scenery.read more

Excellent! Difficult decision, dawn amidst the sand dunes at Sossusvlei, tracking desert elephants in Damarañand or the prehistoric engravings of animals at Twyfelfontein, I cannot decide [what was most memorable]. read more

An excellent trip which I can unreservedly recommend.read more

Amazing! Incredible! Awesome! I don't have enough superlatives to describe how great this trip wasread more

A really enjoyable adventure. I travelled with my adult son and daughter and there was a good mixture of ages (18 to 74), nationalities and personalities that would never have come together otherwise. The scenery and wildlife were amazing but the holiday was also made by our guides and the people we travelled with.read more

Quite simple one of the best volunteering holidays I have ever had! 5 stars!read more

Full on and absolutely fabulous. The participation level was more than was suggested in the brochure, but everyone getting involved brought our group together making us all good friends.read more

Truly exceptional people. The support we were given led to a truly beautiful experience & one that will never leave us. It was more than just a ‘break’ or time out or even a holiday. It was soul food! read more

Excellent! Exceeded expectationsread more

Excellent. Exceeded expectations. Thanks Joshread more

It was wonderful - a really enriching experience and we were blown away by the breathtaking beauty of a land with so much space! We had a fabulous time and would love to explore more of Namibia one day. Driving through the ever changing landscapes was breathtaking! And we were really happy to see that the rains had helped the animals this season as there is so much grass - even if it made it harder to find them!read more

There were too many stand out moments, the scenery was out of this world, all the accommodation was wonderful especially in Damaraland, Sossusvlei and the Dunes at sunrise totally amazing, Damaraland tracking Elephants (and finding them), Kayaking with the sea pups in Walvis Bay totally chaotic, a small breeding heard of Elephants coming to drink at the watering hole at sunset in Ongava Tented Camp when it was just me there; and the lovely manager, the list is endless.read more

The guides who were knowledgeable, patient, humourous and kind - made our group into a family. It was everything we hoped for and more! Great accommodation, lots of opportunity to experience Africa.read more

Brilliant. Highly recommended. Getting close to such a variety of wild animals.5 stars. read more

Loved every day. Every day was memorable.read more

Fantastic trip through amazing landscapes! Hard to pin down but desert camp in Namibia Okavango Delta probably. Guides were brilliant - the driving on difficult roads - knowledge and enthusiasm and ability to deal with wide variety of people and situations.read more

Being so close to wild animals. Meeting other volunteers from all over the world. Amazing, but not for softies. Be prepared to muck in , and the camaraderie and joint experience is great!read more

Viewing the wildlife up close! An absolutely amazing adventure with a great mix of luxe lodging and tent safari camps.read more

It was an amazing experience [...] The variety of the landscapes. read more

Very good opportunity to get a flavour of Namibia and Botswana, packs in a lot of destinations en route so time spent at each location is limited. Itinerary does not include the unique flora and fauna of the Namib desert which is a ‘must see’ for any keen naturalist.read more

Okavango Delta experience and climbing up Namib sand dunes. Overall experience was great (...). Guides were great, so was our small group. We became one family.read more

Very enjoyable with a number of different experiences. If you're interested in wildlife, start the holiday in the south and finish at Etosha in the north. The animals are scarcer in the South but abundant in the north.read more

Excellent. There were so many I wouldn't know which one to pick. So I'll list a few: the scenic flight over Skeleton Valley, Deadvlei is stunningly beautiful, sighting 3 lions and a herd of about 40 elephants. read more
