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.

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

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’.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
