Namibia Reviews

Outstanding experience! All detail provided helped immensely. Namibia diversity and landscape and wildlife was truly memorable. 

Tour was excellent. Our guide Toni really worked hard and the small group was great. Organisation was great from start to finish. I would certainly use Rainbow Tours again. 

My holiday far exceeded my expectations. My Namibian adventure was the best holiday of my life. I was passed along like a well-labelled parcel – no possibility of going astray! I am still digesting the incredible scenery and colours. Just fantastic. Thank you.

Perfect after a long flight!

Jonas (our guide) and the camp set a standard far above the other camps.

A very happy and welcoming atmosphere.

Fabulous staff made a fantastic location even more pleasurable. 

David and Hilary were brilliant guides

We loved our Namibia holiday. Everything was so relaxed, driving was easy and the people friendly and helpful. Game viewing around the waterholes with a guide in Etosha was excellent. But it’s the huge sweeping landscapes that we won’t forget, really out of this world. Thank you. 

One of the best holidays I have had – the other holiday was in Zambia and Rainbow Tours organised that too. 

This was a really well run lodge and everything ran like clockwork. The stars of course were the cheetahs and leopards we were fortunate to see. 

The design of the main lodge and chalets is well thought out. The lodge is one of the best I have stayed in. 

This lodge is run by Thomas and his wife who are passionate about their guests enjoying their time at Hoodia Lodge. We had a lovely time here and would highly recommend it. 

Kirsten attended to all our questions and was determined to secure reservations in the accommodations we asked for. All four of us really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend fly/drives to Namibia 

Excellent stay. Took part in extra activities – cheetah tracking. Superb food and wine list. Staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. New facilities being built for 2014 .

Superb location with excellent wildlife viewing. Knowledgeable guide, friendly staff who found it funny seeing a European women driving into the camp!!

If you like bird watching – this is the place! Unusual setting and design of rooms. Very comfortable. Excellent breakfast. The Tug is one not to be missed. 

The only place to stay for visiting Sossusvlei/ Dead Vlei. Comfortable camp. Staff were exceptionally friendly and enjoyed sharing our ‘Star Rover’ app. 

A room view ‘to die for’. Superb facilities throughout. Day trip into canyon was excellent with very knowledgeable guide. Needed the hot water bottles provided at night!

At no time did we feel unsafe, even when walking in towns and supermarkets. There is everything for the discerning traveller – fantastic scenery, superb varied wildlife and an emptiness that sometimes makes you think you are the only people there. To visit Fish River Canyon – the largest nest to the Grand Canyon – and travel to it’s base was fantastic – we were the only (10 in number) people there (unlike USA!!) – Long may it stay Namibia’s ‘special place’. 

Very impressed

Took a while to get used to the isolation and the rather less well developed service compared to South Africa…..Overall we loved Namibia! 

A great stay (Mushara Camp) before going into Etosha the staff singing after dinner was brilliant.

Okaurkuejo camp was really excellent. 

wakopmund Guest House is close to the centre it is the perfect place to stay in swakopmund with very helpful staff. 

Canon Lodge is a fantastic lodge in a very unusual setting. we were not expecting to see Meerkats here (Bagatelle Kalahari ranch) so to see them here was a real bonus. 

Sossus Dune Lodge is a magical place with very friendly and helpful staff.

Good service, everything required for comfortable camping and very friendly. The camp sites were excellent

Overall a superb trip. Well organised . …The agents and (Rainbow Tours) were on the ball in helping tackle the problems created by customs.

Absolutely superb. Unquestionably the best rooms we have ever stayed in and terrific, friendly staff.

We were out of season [in February] (no elephants) so the Doro Nawas lodge was pretty empty. We were very well looked after. The food, service, location and facilities were excellent.

Cape Cross Lodge is in a very good location. Nice room but otherwise basic.

Full marks for comfort, location and facilities.

We had very cold weather but the lodge staff helped by putting hot water bottles in our bed!! 

Excellent services, location and facilities. Meals were good. Brilliant animal experience, especially the Cheetahs.

Everything about this whole trip was truly outstanding. It is difficult to find anything negative to say. The level of service and accommodation provided by [our team on the ground] was excellent throughout. The tour itinerary offered a great variety of Hotels/Camps which all had their own individual/different elements to add to the tour as a whole. A STUNNING TRIP!

The highlight of the trip. Well run, very good staff.. Elephants Fab!

Very good and [we were] able to chill out.

We would certainly recommend Rainbow Tours, far beyond our expectations!

Excellent guiding and the staff were very accommodating when requests for different / additional meal options [were made]. The setting at Ongava Lodge is breathtaking!

The family accommodation had separate rooms and each had en-suite bathrooms.

A stunning location at Twyfelfontein Lodge!

Good quality service, location and amenities

Guides throughout were excellent.

Top marks for our stay

The facilities, service and location at Kulala Desert Lodge were superb.

Very enjoyable varied landscapes and features. Tiring driving 4 hrs to everywhere but worth it!

Excellent room, the comfort and service were superb.

Notre voyage en Namibie s'est parfaitement bien passé. 

Megan was extremely helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Namibia. It was well organised and the standard of the hotels and game reserves was superb.

Sossusvlei Lodge has great location and great morning drive to Deadvlei for sunrise. Excellent evening meals but breakfast was slow and not so good - no coffee, juice or milk at the time we’d agreed the night before.

Transfers in Frankfurt were very smooth and our bags followed us! Brilliant marked-up map and instructions from your local agent and the transfers to and from Windhoek airport were also timely. Megan handled the last minute flight changes excellently with minimal fuss and impact. Overall a brilliant experience!

Very efficiently run and friendly. Very enjoyable elephant tracking and star gazing at Doro Nawas. Activities a bit expensive

Good breakfast and staff helpful when organising evening meal reservations. Quirky locations and setting.

A very luxurious private lodge with a bed that can be pulled out to sleep under the stars. Great attention to detail like a cold flannel on arrival, the staff singing local songs after dinner and hot water bottles put in your bed. The food wasn’t as good as Desert Homestead tough and activities were overpriced.

Megan deserved the highest praise - very professional. Overall the service we received from Rainbow Tours was excellent. We had a wonderful trip in a truly special country, and will be returning when we’ve saved up enough money! All the accommodation was good, mixing camping with lodges.

Excellent, wonderful location - pure luxury

Let down a little by the food, but the location of Canon Lodge was stunning.
