I would highly recommend Trip Tours Namibia. From my first contact with Christine de Bruyn for recommendations to the plan she put together and the fabulous time I had on my first visit to Namibia. I was in the excellent care of Johnny Shiputa from pick up in Windhoek airport. The journey to Swakopmund. The catamaran cruise under the excellent care of Crystal and the Sandwich Harbour tour under the care of Winton. Comfortable, professional and friendly accommodation in Pension à la Mer. Wonderful dinners in Ankerplatz and the Jetty. Day 2 a wonderful tour of Spitzkoppe. Thank you Christine and Johnny for a wonderful experience. I will be back.

Our trip with Trip Tours Namibia to Swakopmund and Windhoek was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Traveling from South Africa, we were immediately impressed by how well-organised, professional, and welcoming the entire experience was. The team was knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The itinerary was perfectly balanced—well planned but never rushed—allowing us to truly appreciate the beauty, culture, and history of Namibia. Swakopmund was a highlight with its unique charm, coastal scenery, and activities, while Windhoek offered great insight into Namibian life and heritage. Accommodation, transport, and logistics were all seamless and of a very high standard. What really stood out was the personal touch and genuine passion the guides have for Namibia. Their local knowledge and attention to detail made the trip both informative and memorable. I highly recommend Trip Tours Namibia to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and unforgettable travel experience. We will definitely be using them again and recommending them to friends and family.
