Feedback

The many impressions and unforgettable experiences from our trip are still very much with us. When we look out from our balcony, we almost expect to spot a giraffe hiding behind the trees. In the evenings, we enjoy a Rock Shandy, and just yesterday I accidentally switched on the windscreen wipers instead of the indicator while driving – Namibia habits die hard! We would like to thank you and the entire Namibia Individual Travel team for such a wonderful and exceptionally well-organised journey. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. The route, together with the carefully selected places and lodges, was fantastic, and from the warm welcome on arrival to the thorough vehicle handover, we felt well looked after every step of the way. Throughout the trip, we always felt comfortable and safe, knowing that if we ever needed anything, someone was there to help.

We enjoyed our trip from start to finish. Travelling through this beautiful country by car and making so many unforgettable memories was simply incredible. We were completely satisfied with every aspect of the journey – from the detailed vehicle handover to Andrew's support over the phone and all the helpful information you provided. Everything was very well organised. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. The small, owner-run lodges were beautiful, and everywhere we went we received a warm welcome. We felt at home and well looked after at every stop along the way. It is rare to experience a trip that is so varied, well planned, and enjoyable. The daily driving distances were just right and made for a relaxed, stress-free journey. You organised this trip with great care and passion, and we would like to sincerely thank you for that. Your excellent service, professionalism, and personal approach made this a truly unforgettable holiday. We would recommend Namibia Individual Travel without hesitation to anyone planning a trip to Namibia.

Jean shared his extensive knowledge of Namibia with us, giving us a fascinating insight into the country, its people, history, wildlife, plant life, and so much more. He explained everything in a relaxed, engaging, and enjoyable way. He was always there for our group, and I felt very well looked after throughout the journey. With his positive attitude and good humor, he also brought our group together, creating a wonderful sense of friendship among us. Jean played a huge part in making our trip such a memorable experience.

Our trip through Namibia was fantastic, and we arrived home with so many wonderful memories. Every lodge and campsite was excellent, and we really enjoyed each one. Your vehicle was also very reliable and got us safely through Namibia without any problems. It was also reassuring to know that you and Hagen were there as local contacts should we have needed any assistance. That gave us peace of mind and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy our trip. We will definitely be back in Namibia one day. We were already making plans during our holiday – perhaps the Caprivi Strip and Botswana next time! We will certainly be in touch again.

Even the best trips have to come to an end. Thank you for the excellent organisation, your support throughout the planning process, and your great accommodation recommendations. Everything went smoothly, and we thoroughly enjoyed our safari. We would be happy to recommend you and Namibia Individual Travel to anyone planning a trip to Namibia.

We returned home a fortnight ago with many wonderful experiences and impressions. We really enjoyed our trip and would like to thank you very much for the great organization and the detailed travel report. Everything went very smoothly. We were very satisfied with all our accommodation and the itinerary. We wish you and the whole team all the best.

We are back in Switzerland with a whole lot of great memories. Thanks to the whole team at Namibia Individual Travel. Everything was perfectly organized. We have already passed on your e-mail address to our colleagues.

The handover of the car was the start of the rest of our smooth journey. We never had any problems, never had any fears or concerns and were able to enjoy the trip to the fullest with the description and the information and travel tips. We learnt a lot about the beautiful country of Namibia, we were able to experience action-packed activities, eat delicious food and relax at the same time. A holiday that we will not forget so easily. Thank you very much for everything and best wishes.

We look back fondly on our holiday in Namibia. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Thank you for the excellent and friendly organisation. We would gladly book with you again and will recommend you to anyone who’s interested.

Our trip was wonderful—a dream—it’s difficult to put into words. The landscape, the people, the wildlife—everything was simply perfect.

We arrived home safe and sound. It was a dream. We really enjoyed the trip and we were able to experience unforgettable moments. The animal sightings, the nature, the vastness, the silence - simply amazing. All in all, a wonderful experience, excellently prepared and organized, thank you very much.

The trip was excellent. Our excitement began as soon as we received the itinerary, and we kept reading about the sights awaiting us. We were impressed by Namibia’s diverse landscapes, especially Sossusvlei. Every game drive and boat cruise were educational and interesting, and we learned a lot about the wildlife, landscapes, and more. We will remember this trip for a long time.

A big thank you to Namibia Individual Travel. Our holiday was very enjoyable, and we are impressed by the people, landscapes, and wildlife in Namibia.

We arrived home safely yesterday, filled with wonderful memories and experiences. It was an exciting and unforgettable trip – and hopefully not our last visit to Namibia. Thank you so much for the great organisation; everything went smoothly.

NIT was AMAZING. Truly excellent. NIT operated with the utmost professionalism and delivered and outstanding experience from start to finish. Service was at a very high level and always friendly. Not one bad word to say about NIT

It was wonderful! Fantastic! We enjoyed the trip to the full - the country, the people, the animals and the lodges were unbelievable! And everything worked out perfectly! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! And we would do the trip again in exactly the same way and recommend it to everyone!

A fantastic and multi-faceted trip. Thanks to our patient, very knowledgeable, always cheerful and friendly tour guide, Klaus, the trip will remain unforgettable for us. Many thanks for everything.

The tour of southern Namibia was brilliant - everything went very well. For Ruedi and me, it was our second tour of southern Namibia, but it still offered plenty of new surprises. Travelling with Namibia Individual Travel is such a pleasure, and we just keep wanting more! Thank you so much for everything!

We have been back from our extensive trip since last Sunday (we spent a few days at the seaside after our trip) and had to settle in again this week, which was very difficult for us, as we were still in Africa mode. The trip you put together was well-organised! Thank you very much for that. Thank you very much for the great organisation of the trip and the excellent documentation provided that offered us lots of tips. Everything worked out perfectly. We were always surprised how easy and enjoyable travelling was. We truly enjoyed every second. The lodges were all wonderful. Thank you very much for everything and see you on the next trip!
