“African Wanderer organised the perfect family holiday to Namibia”
A simply brilliant experience. African Wanderer organised the perfect family holiday to Namibia, listening to what we wanted out of the holiday and then carefully crafting an itinerary that delivered it all and so much more. We enjoyed an amazing quality of accommodation, activities, and experiences we won’t forget. No request or question was too much bother and was quickly addressed. We were given accurate and sensible advice. Hanneke added lots of little touches that finished it all off. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this top-class service and no doubt we’ll use them again.

“Hanneke organised an unforgettable holiday for 5 families travelling through Namibia.”
I will recommend booking your Namibian holiday through African Wanderer. Hanneke organised an unforgettable holiday for 5 families travelling through Namibia. Her recommendations were perfect for our group, and we loved every moment of our adventure. Thank you so much!

“The perfect mix among everything we wanted to be part of. Everything was way above our expectations.”
Namibia is such a beautiful place that having the time of your life down there is 95% because of Namibia and 5% because of a good organisation. Well, that 5% was simply perfect. African Wanderer realised the journey we were looking for, the perfect mix among all the things we wanted to be part of. Everything exceeded our expectations: the campsites, the lodges, and the activities. The assistance throughout the trip was very effective. We will return to Southern Africa, and no doubt, we’ll rely on Hanneke for the organisation.

"If you are a traveller who wants to visit Namibia at your own pace, I cannot recommend this travel agency enough."
When we decided to visit Namibia, we did not know where to start creating our itinerary. You could find a lot of pre-made itineraries and they always cover the same very touristic places, but not many agencies are open to changing their itineraries. African wanderer Tours + Safari, instead, was great! They provided all of the details, and suggestions, and created the perfect itinerary for us. Hanneke really cares about all the details, and she wants everything to be perfect. During our vacation, she was always ready to reply to our emails. She also orgnised a wonderful birthday dinner on our very last day in Namibia. If you are a traveller who wants to visit Namibia at your pace, I cannot recommend this travel agency enough.

"Her organisational and ethical behaviour was beyond professional and that's what we will remember the most."
It's still difficult to find the appropriate way to thank African Wanderer Tours & Safaris for the wonderful time and experience. From the start of the booking process, we were impressed by the outstanding customer service provided by Hanneke. She is genuinely concerned for her customer happiness and well-being. She responded to all email requests promptly and continued to be involved during the tour. Her organisational and ethical behaviour was beyond professional and that's what we will remember the most. We had 15 days private guided tour and we enjoyed every single moment during these two weeks spent in Namibia. Everything was above our expectations.
