5* from beginning to the end!
5/5

At the beginning i wasn't sure if a 3000km SOLO trip through Namibia was the right thing for me.
But already at the first contact with Great Explorations Namibia i no longer had this fear and i felt ready for this adventure.
My contact person was Anja. Out of several tour providers i contacted on safari booking she was the one with the quickest and most detailed response. Anja is very uncomplicated and organized everything really fast in close contact with me.
When i arrived in Namibia she was waiting for me at the car rental and gave me a folder with the most important informations etc. so the journey could start carefree.

Now i'm at the end of my 14 day adventure. I can say i couldn't have a better Namibia experience!! A perfect route and the accommodations also exceeded my expectations by far. Even if Anja offered me that I could contact her at any time if there were any problems, it didn't come to that because the trip was simply perfect and I enjoyed every second here. A true 5 star experience, they live up to their name; GREAT EXPLORATIONS NAMIBIA!
In this sense thank you Great Explorations Namibia and a BIG thanks to Anja!!!

Namibia 2024 Tour: Thank you so much Great Explorations for attending to all our reservations for us, (apart from Luderitz & Solitaire) . We did a self-drive budget tour which was great. However, thumbs up, Namibia is not a cheap country to visit, as a South African.

* Hobas Campsite, Fish River Canyon - Campsite stands were not clearly marked out, & very dusty. (Because of no markings, we had 2 German tourists camping on our stand!) Personally, campsite costly & disappointing, albeit in close proximity to the Fish River Canyon. This was not our 1st option, regretfully, Canyon Roadhouse our first choice was fully booked.
*Aus Haven & Rest Camp - Absolutely wonderful with beautiful private ablution. Highly recommended.
* Shark Island, Luderitz - Own Arrangement - what a mistake! Luderitz is so windy that you cannot camp despite the campsite being beautiful. We were saddened that we were not advised, prior to booking and paying directly about the howling winds. Had we known this, we would never have camped. After the 1st night we packed up and left.
*Duwisib Guestfarm - Fantastic - lovely campsite overlooking the Duwisib castle with such peace and quietness. Only 1 stand has electricity.
*Jansen Kalahari Guest farm campsite - Disappointing. Very sandy campsite (no paving nor grass anywhere), ablutions not great - unpaved walking to & from ablutions.
*Elegant Desert Camp, Sossusvlei - Beautiful campsite with lovely ablutions. Winds are difficult to navigate.
*Lagoon Chalets & Caravan Park, Walvis Bay - Very nice indeed. Stunning & modern ablutions with laundromat.
*Alte Brucke Campsite, Swakopmund - A gem. Beautiful grassed stands with private ablutions.
*Daureb Isib Campsite, Uis - Very pleasant with own private ablution.
*Elisenheim Guestfarm, Windhoek- Disappointing so did not camp there despite paying. Found new campsite at Urban Camp which was absolutely amazing.
*The White House, Gruanau - Disappointing
*Amanzi River Trail Campsite, Noordoewer - Superb. Fantastic huge, grassed stands overlooking the Orange River. Tranquility at its best. Pleasant ablutions & very friendly owners.
