We first met Wilderness Adventures at a travel fair in Amsterdam in January 2024, and our interest was immediately sparked. Later that year, we began crafting our journey together. After booking a private guided luxury tour, we were kept informed and inspired for almost a year — we truly appreciated the anticipation and thoughtful communication throughout the process.
Our private guided luxury tour was exceptionally well organised. All arrangements were made exactly as planned and to our complete satisfaction, including the tour vehicle, accommodations, and activities. Our private tour guide, Saqib, ensured safe and timely travel, kept us well informed, and guided us to every destination with professionalism and care. He consistently provided the promised personalised services, including refreshments throughout the tour.
A range of complimentary services greatly enhanced our experience — from free upgrades of the vehicle and several rooms to additional services, discount rates, and always the best possible room or chalet at each lodge. We particularly enjoyed the complimentary sundowners featuring Wilderness Adventures’ signature blue gin and tonic — and will never forget the amusing moment when the jackals decided to steal our drinks 😒😂
It was a truly memorable journey — impeccably organised, genuinely personal, and filled with moments of joy, beauty, and a touch of wild adventure.
An experience of a lifetime - a promise fullfilled by Wilderness Adventures.

In één woord een fantastische ervaring. Via de bijzondere vakantiebeurs in Amsterdam met Wilderness Adventures in contact gekomen. Vanaf dat moment is de planning van onze "once in a lifetime experience" begonnen. Saqib pakt zijn taak zeer serieus, professioneel en persoonlijk op. Planning, bevestigingen, alles top geregeld.

Van 20 april tot 25 mei hebben wij onze rondreis door Namibië en Botswana gemaakt. Dagelijks met Saqib in contact, voor tip, advies en evt. praktische vragen. De liefde van Saqib voor zijn vak is in alles terug te zien. Hij stond 24 uur voor ons klaar. Alle accommodaties waren geweldig en uniek.

Ook de week met Saqib als onze guide in Kaokoland was geweldig. Zoveel kennis en verhalen. Zijn liefde voor het land en zijn enthousiasme zijn aanstekelijk.

Als Wilderness Adventures iets beloofd, dan komen zij dat meer dan na! Wat ons betreft is er voor zuidelijk Afrika maar één touroperator.

Our family of 4 absolutely loved our 2-week Namibian trip organized by Wilderness Adventures. Our itinerary was extremely detailed, and the remote assistance was fantastic. The support from Wilderness Adventures was outstanding, and when we wanted to make a few changes to our itinerary during our trip, they helped us immediately. This really is the best way to see Namibia, with the freedom of driving yourself but the remote support from an experienced and knowledgeable company. The recommended tours were also fantastic. We asked for a lower budget trip and we're very pleased with the price. Don't hesitate to book with Wilderness Adventures for your Namibian travel!

I recently completed an 11 day self-drive Namibian Highlights Tour organized by Wilderness Adventures. It was the best curated travel experience I've ever had! From planning to post-trip follow-up, Saqib provided exceptional 24/7 support.

Although the trip was organized with short notice (within 30 days) during the peak season for two people, Saqib provided ample information with sample itineraries and transparent pricing. He was always available by phone, email, or text to answer any questions we had and customized our tour experience based on our preferences and budget.

Once the itinerary was finalized and booking confirmed, we received detailed documents including a suggested packing list, tour plan with route guidance, and a custom Google map where we simply had to "follow the blue line". Since he has personally traveled all of the roads on the route, the instructions included information regarding when the surface of the road would change (tar, gravel, sand, etc.), when to change the tire pressure, where to stop for gas/petrol, and points of interest along the way. This level of detail was extremely helpful for a self-drive tour. All we had to do was remember to drive on the left side of the road and enjoy the experience!

Upon arrival we were taken to the car rental company and briefed about the trip. Knowing that we wanted to purchase local Namibian handmade boots before our excursion, Saqib went above and beyond by calling the shoe store in advance, asking them to pull the styles and sizes we wanted, and to stay open a few minutes later, as we were delayed en route. This is only one of the many examples of premium customer service we experienced with Wilderness Adventures.

Due to Saqib’s rapport with management and staff, we were treated like VIP guests at every lodge and excursion. Check-ins and check-outs were seamless and he handpicked the best rooms and dinner tables for us. It was truly an unforgettable, one of a kind experience!

I highly recommend Wilderness Adventures and can’t wait to book another trip with them to the region!

We can highly recommend Wilderness Adventures. Our self-drive tour through Namibia has been organized on a very short notice and still everything was perfect! We received detailed information beforehand, and we could contact our “virtual guide” Saqib 24/7 during the trip. So we could drive alone through the beautiful country, feeling adventurous and still knowing that someone keeps an eye on us from the distance. Saqib planned everything with lots of heart and passion - it seems that he knows every corner of this country, every lodge, every waterhole and every animal personally! Any problem along the road and he will jump in immediately and find the best solution for you. Thank you dear Saqib for this amazing experience!

Simplesmente espetacular! Desde o momento em que transmitimos o que pretendiamos para as férias,sentimos logo que do outro lado nos ouviam,pois o plano elaborado foi 100% ao encontro do que queríamos e a partir daí foi só desfrutar pois o acompanhamento foi 5 estrelas, apesar de distante o apoio foi exemplar. Resultando numas férias fabulosas, que ficarão na memória. Desde o transporte, os alojamentos e o percurso foram tudo aquilo que desejávamos e ganhamos um irmão com o nosso guia. Recomendamos vivamente, pois iremos repetir.

Saqip! we want to thank you for such a perfect holiday we spent with you in Namibia!
As we returned home we tried to find something that we did not like and to be honest we could not find , more than this it was a huge surprise that, i dont know how but you understood that we celebrate 40 years of marriage, and in every resort we stayed you organised a small celebration, really very touching for us!
The whole concept of our trip was very good and you took care everywhere to be the best accomodation, to be respected our regim and all our habits!
Congratulations and for sure if you may organise and for other destination we will be veryy happy and in the same time sure that we will have the best time!
