What people love about Namibia And South Africa Tours
- Namibia Nomad
It really was a once in a lifetime trip!!! Right from enquiring about which tour to go on Absolute Africa were helpful and incredibly friendly. Our tour guide Ally was lovely and really informative as was our driver Dave. Best month of my life by far! I will definitely be visiting Africa again and would only ever go with the amazing Absolute Africa :)
- Cape Town to Victoria Falls - Hotel/Lodge
Great guides, no hot water or hand towels given. Seats could be more comfortable for such a long journey
- Victoria Falls to Cape Town - Camping
My first time in Africa. I liked the look of the trip but had not especially researched each area and country beforehand. So many unforgettable moments - from getting close to the big animals in places like Chobe, to the sheer expanse of the desert landscapes in Namibia, to the wonderful Canyon Roadhouse in Namib, and the fun with pelicans while ostensibly dolphin watching nr Wallvis Bay. And then some - the beautiful surroundings of Cape Town and 'sweetest' accommodation. The guides got us through some very testing moments - from bus failure nr Rundu, followed by a dash to Etosha, and other serious incidents, in addition to driving us over immense distance >5Kkm, over untarmacced roads, and providing varied meals, mostly after a long days drive and setting up camp.

What times of year to visit Namibia and South Africa for wildlife viewing?
The dry winter season from May to October provides the best wildlife viewing conditions in both countries. During these months animals gather around waterholes in Namibia's Etosha National Park making them easier to spot. The Kruger area in South Africa offers excellent game drives particularly in the early hours as evidenced at Karongwe Private Game Reserve. Properties like Namushasha River Lodge near the Kwando River welcome visitors year-round though the cooler winter months when the landscape is less dense prove most rewarding for wildlife encounters.
What must-visit highlights when touring Namibia and South Africa?
Key destinations include Sossusvlei's towering 300-meter sand dunes in the Namib Desert and Etosha National Park where lions elephants and rhinos roam freely. The Fish River Canyon stretches as the world's second-largest canyon while Cape Town's Table Mountain stands as the city's natural crown. Visitors often base themselves at distinctive locations like Okaukuejo Camp in Etosha where a floodlit waterhole draws wildlife throughout the day. "The tour was excellent with fantastic guides and an incredible mix of landscapes and wildlife viewing opportunities" notes a recent TourRadar visitor.
What type of accommodation can I expect on a tour through Namibia and South Africa?
The range covers everything from established lodges like Etosha Village to desert retreats such as Desert Quiver Camp near Sossusvlei. Urban stays include properties like Cape Town's Breakwater Lodge positioned near the V&A Waterfront while bush experiences await at places like Ugab Terrace Lodge in Damaraland. "The mix of accommodation was perfect - from luxury lodges with amazing views to authentic bush camps that brought us close to nature" shares a TourRadar guest. Standard amenities include private bathrooms while many properties feature swimming pools dining facilities and observation areas.
What are some unique cultural experiences available in Namibia and South Africa?
Local culture comes alive through visits to Swakopmund's Mondesa Township where traditional food and daily life take center stage. The Mafwe museum village in the Zambezi region offers insights into regional customs while South Africa's !Khwa ttu San Culture Center preserves ancient traditions. "The local guide's stories about bushmen survival strategies in the Namib Desert were fascinating and gave us a deeper appreciation of the indigenous cultures" recalls a TourRadar participant.
How much spending money should I budget for optional activities?
Plan for 200-300 USD daily to cover extra activities. Popular choices range from sandboarding in Swakopmund at 700 NAD to Victoria Falls helicopter rides for 150 USD and Cape Town wine tours at 1675 ZAR. A recent TourRadar visitor notes "Keep extra budget for the incredible optional activities especially in Swakopmund where there are many adventure sports available."
