What Our Travellers Say
Posted on Thomas Meyer Grandiose Natur und Tierwelt, Gastfreundschaft und aussergewöhnliche Lodges in einem wunderbaren Land; das ist Namibia. Die perfekte Organisation machte den Aufenthalt zu einem entspannten und ereignisreichen Urlaub.Posted on Simon H I cant speak highly enough of Desert Tracks as our partner for our holiday in Namibia. Viola was fantastic throughout. From the start as we developed our ideas about a possible holiday to Africa, through to firming up a brilliantly balanced itinerary, and then whilst we were in country checking in, offering advice and sharing the excitement of our amazing holiday. Namibia is a fantastic place to holiday; beautiful, friendly, varied and safe. We loved it. And this was made possible by Viola and Desert Tracks. I am not normally someone who rights reviews fro products or services, but in this instance I couldn't not - sharing with others is the right thing to do because it will hopefully allow more people to benefit from Desert Track's expertise and for more people to experience Namibia. If i could award 6, or 7, or 8 stars I would!!! Thanks Viola. You made 2 people smile a lot.Posted on Dasha Cherenkova Excellence! Thank you for my trip . As a solo experienced traveler I am glad I have found “ desert tracks “ for my first trip to Namibia . The whole itinerary was quickly adjusted to my interests , considering it was last minute booking . Joan replied on my request on Sunday ( same day I sent my message ) . The guide is very knowledgeable and very experienced.Posted on Jade Smith 🌍 Kingsmen Namibia Highlights Safari – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Expedition For our elite sales team, we curated an extraordinary 11-day journey across Namibia – a land of breathtaking contrasts and raw beauty. This wasn’t just a trip; it was a celebration of achievement, camaraderie, and nature at its finest. ✈️ Arrival & Overview We flew into Namibia with a group of ten men of mixed ages, all top performers in our sales division. The excitement was palpable as we embarked on what we proudly call the Kingsmen trip – a tradition of rewarding excellence with unforgettable experiences. 🏜️ The Route Our adventure took us through: Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft Park – home to the towering red dunes of the Great Sand Sea. The hauntingly beautiful Skeleton Coast, north of Swakopmund. Rugged Damaraland, where desert-adapted elephants and rhinos roam. Remote Kaokoland, rich in culture and wilderness. Wildlife-rich Etosha National Park. The serene Epako Reserve, where we ended our journey in style. 🚙 The Experience We travelled in 4x4 Land Cruisers with rooftop tents, alternating between wild camping and luxurious lodges. The terrain was dramatic and ever-changing – from vast desert plains to rocky outcrops and lush watering holes. One of the highlights was a hot air balloon safari over the Namib Desert – a surreal and soul-stirring experience that left everyone speechless. 🔥 Team Bonding This trip wasn’t just about the sights – it was about the people. We cooked our own meals, shared stories around the campfire, and laughed over our driving antics. The bond between the team grew stronger each day, creating memories that will last a lifetime. 🧭 Organisation & Guides The logistics were flawless. Every detail was meticulously planned, from the route to the accommodations. Our guides were exceptional – knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply connected to the land. Their storytelling and expertise elevated the entire experience.Posted on roberto “Schultz Driverswigger” forlani A reliable and very helpful agency. For various reasons, adjustments were necessary, and they were always quick to find alternative solutions that, above all, met the needs expressed. I think it's especially challenging to meet the needs within the budgets provided, but Desert Track and Safari has always been quick and effective in providing proposals. It would be wonderful to travel to Namibia every year. If I could, I would always turn to Desert Track and Safari.Posted on Daphne Karras Desert tracks organised a flawless 2 week trip around Namibia this summer for our family. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to travel there. Thanks againPosted on Natalie Wood Viola and Jaun organised an amazing trip that gave us a very good understanding of the country from both a natural and historical point of view. Everything was set up extremely well from the logistics, (quality of) lodging and transportation. They have been very responsive also during our travel. Highly recommended. We will surely use their services again on any next trip to Namibia or Botswana Natalie & MarioPosted on Hjoerdis Stahl We, a group of 4, self drive, 16 day trip Namibia, booked our entire vacation with Desert Tracks. From the first contact, they were professional, listening to our wishes, making suggestions, super contact friendly, and we had the perfect Namibia experience. The lodges were exquisite, the car brand new and in super condition, and everything was always perfectly organized. Questions during the trip were immediately answered. We felt very pampered and spoiled. Perfect customer experience.Posted on Viviane Welter Alles war zu unserer grössten Zufriedenheit. Ganz besonders hervorzuheben sind die wunderbaren Lodges welche Viola und Jaun für uns ausgesucht haben.Posted on Francesco Franze Truly professional planning and support throughout our 15-day journey in Namibia. All accommodation, the excellent 4WD vehicle rental, and the activities - Jaun and Viola were great in all aspects and I highly recommend Desert Tracks

Frequently Asked
Questions
A self-drive safari gives you the freedom to explore Africa's wild spaces entirely at your own pace. You travel in your own rental vehicle, stop for photos whenever something extraordinary catches your eye, and experience the open road with nature as your only guide.
There are no rigid schedules, no group dynamics to navigate — just you, the landscape, and Namibia's extraordinary wildlife unfolding at every turn.

Sossusvlei, Namibia
For most Namibian routes, a 4x4 is strongly recommended. Gravel roads, sandy tracks, and remote river crossings are beautifully driveable in a properly equipped 4x4 — and far riskier in a standard sedan.
A 4x4 also opens up more remote parks, dramatic viewpoints, and off-the-beaten-path destinations that most travellers simply never reach.

Damaraland, Namibia
We partner exclusively with Namibia's most trusted rental suppliers, providing well-maintained, expedition-ready 4x4 vehicles built specifically for the country's toughest conditions.
Every vehicle includes ample luggage and camera storage, comprehensive insurance cover, and 24/7 roadside assistance. Seamless airport handovers and private transfers ensure your journey begins effortlessly — from the moment you land.
