They are thoughtful, detailed-oriented and responsive
5/5

It’s been a great pleasure planning my trip with Southbound Tours. They are flexible in customizing the itinerary and always willing to provide useful information and advice. Moreover, they are truly detail-oriented, which makes you feel safe and well taken care of—especially when you’re traveling alone. A big thank-you to everyone I met at Southbound Tours.

Friendly experts who listened closely, communicated brilliantly and crafted a custom tour we loved.
5/5

It was our first time traveling to Africa. Thanks to Marco and his team it was a fantastic experience. We did a self-drive tour in a vehicle supplied by Southbound. The vehicle was in excellent condition and well equiped for safety and comfort. We enjoyed all of the pre-booked, quality accommodations and loved all of the tours. Southbound was always quick to respond to our questions, both in the planning stages and also when we were on the road. They organised all the details, including border crossings, so that everything ran smoothly. The tour was a perfect balance of the spectacular landscapes, safari and animal sightings and soft adventure that we were looking for. We would definitely recommend Southbound and hope to use their services again in the future.

5/5

I had some specific things I wanted to do, and a tight timeline. Marco got creative with airplanes, figured it all out and gave me a custom tour that our family loved! Everything went off without a hitch and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Professional, flexible and affordable
5/5

I'm extremely happy with the service provided by Marco and Desiree from Southbound Tours all long during planning as well as travelling phase.

Itinerary itself was tailored made for our preferences in terms of destinations, the scheduling as well as attractions. Even though it was intense in terms of coverage versus time available, there was still room to have some rest to recharge batteries. We have been provided with useful recommendations as for accommodation and restaurants. Car was very reliable and comfortable for the long drives, no single issue on a way and also equipped with 2 spare wheels and fuel supply.

Marco and Desiree were very responsive during the stay and also supportive in terms of arrangements.

With a pleasure I recommend Southband Tours when planning traveling through Namibia. Thank you!

Don't think twice!
5/5

Are you looking for a professional, experienced, helpful, polite, knowledgeable tourist agent while in Namibia? Don't look elsewhere. Don't think twice.

Southbound Tours is the place and the experts you need when traveling through Namibia (which by the way is a great destination). We were assisted by Marco Theron, who helped us from booking beautiful hotels, from booking amazing game drives, to getting pick up services at the airports and finding the best SIM cards.

My husband and I came back from a fantastic trip hoping to be able to go back sometime soon, definitely with Southbound Tours.

Thank you so much Marco and coworkers.

5/5

2021/2022 the Corona years.

The plans for our 3rd southbound tour were canceled at short notice due to the corona pandemic because entry into Namibia was not possible, but we were able to take place again after Namibia opened and we were very happy that the entire tour was possible 10 days before departure trip could take place at short notice.

There was always someone available to answer our questions.

We were happy and grateful to be able to do this tour again privately with two people without having to worry about getting sick.

All selected hotels were perfectly prepared and it was very nice to be able to experience the highlights from previous tours again.

Many thanks to southbound tours for the perfect implementation. You were always safe in the air and it certainly wasn't the last tour.

Our route was as follows:

Hilton Windhoek - Alte Villa Lüderitz - Fish River Lodge - Sonop Lodge - Omaanda Lodge

We are so pleased we chose Southbound Tours to organise our Namibian holiday. Both Marco and Marné put together a wonderful fly in Safari for us.
Any adjustments to our itinerary were well communicated and organised seamlessly. They were both professional, polite and friendly, always happy to answer any questions.
We enjoyed it so much we’re already thinking about our next tour with them.

Southbound Tours and Marco make our trip unforgettable, ranking the top 5 of our trips!
5/5

I came into contact with Marco, around 6 month ago, when I was googling in search of a local agency to provide travel services in Namibia. The first contact with Southbound Tours, was very quick in answering, and since the beginning very helpful regarding the overall aspects of a trip through Namibia, the support was so efficient that and I ended up booking my entire trip with Southbound Tours. Marco provided excellent service throughout the entire trip. He took care of every details including booking activities, Restaurants reservations, transfers when needed, lodges recommendations and booking, a private fly-in plane, with an exclusive pilot (YahYah) all the travels routes along Namibia, who did our more extravagant experience together with the amazing sceneries from the air.
There is no words to thanks to Marco and his team for ensure this unforgettable lifetime experience in Namibia. The trip was fascinating and unexpected in what regards the sight and spots, almost unreal especially in the Desert, but also Sandwich Harbour, Walvis Bay. The scenery flight between Sossusvlei and Swakopmund was really top. Also our congratulations to the pilot, professional and ensuring safe flights all the time. Etocha Park was great, the Lodge was wonderful and at the arrival we were astonish by Rhinos, just there around the pool to welcome us! Last not least Marco did a great job, attempt along almost 6 months to all my doubts, questions and changes of the plan, giving suggestions and improving the final program. The last day he was really gentleman and kind. He met the group last night dinner at Joe´s Beerhouse, one of the most popular Restaurants in Windhoeck, for a toast and say goodbye! I wish you Marco, a prosper business and I bet we will be with you for a new adventure in Botswana and Zimbabwe, for sure.
