- Malalia F0 contributionsGreat informative tourWe saw all the major landmarks and learnt about the history of Namibia. The drive thru the settlements and the commentary was very interesting. Tasting local food was a treat. Thanks Shaka.🙂Written 11 September 2024
- MixItUp3110 contributionsAmazing 4 day tourThis tour was incredible. It was fast paced but it had to be to see as much as we did. The accommodations were well above expectations and very comfortable. I met some incredible people in our group and we became like a family. Our guide Gregory was great and very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw so many animals in etosha and got to see some beautiful sights on the Skelton coast, Swakopmund, and Walvis Bay. These 4 days went by so fast. Next time I’ll do the longer tour. Will definitely book again. Highly recommended!Written 10 September 2024
- elisebW6719VH0 contributionsBest SAFARIOur guide Simon was the absolute best and definitely made the experience!!! He had such an amazing attitude and was so lovely we would definitely ask for him to be our guide if we did it again (which we would!). We had the best time and met such amazing people, making the three days go so so fast! Would 100% recommend, such an amazing experience especially for the price!Written 8 September 2024
- Sightseer347556163700 contributionsBest safari experience EVER !!The best thing I have ever experienced - my group were all incredibly kind, and my tour guide Simon was unbelievably great. We all became a little family over the 3 days I was there. The views were unforgettable, and I will forever cherish the photos I took and the memories I made. Thank you, Simon and Chameleon Safari’s !!!!!Written 8 September 2024
- jjnuno0 contributionsSimply the bestOne of the best tours I've ever done in my life. The distribution of days and places visited is very well planned, also the food, hotels/lodges and even how to spend spare time. The group I traveled with was amazing and I made lifetime connections. I learned so much about Africa, animals and many other topics I couldn't stop asking about. I'd like to thank Gregory, our tour guide, for being so kind and making this experience remarkable, I won't forget.Written 7 September 2024

- tomaszkP9569PH0 contributionsSafari in Namibia? Choose the right company with the best teamWe spent more than a week traveling around top places- Etosha, Skeleton Coast etc. Just amazing. We were taken care by two guys -Kennedy and Smithlee. They are super nice, friendly, competent. They always had something interesting to say about wildlife, traditions, customs of the local tribes and general life in Namibia. On top of this we enjoyed great fire cooking and grilling. Well done, guys!Written 7 September 2024

He was very knowledgeable, professional and an amazing individual who knew a great deal about the city, township and the beautiful country of Namibia. I would highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Anton.Written 6 September 2024

We enjoyed every event that he took us and explained. The meal was also sooo good!!! The campsite was so clean that we took a shower every night. When we had time, we went to the restaurant to stay and to be chill. Thank you, Anton!!!!!!!!!!!!Written 5 September 2024
- 438winfieldg0 contributionsNamibia: From the Skeleton Coast to the Fertile WetlandsOur guide Gregg was wonderful, and I highly recommend the four day tour with Chameleon. It's a great overview of the vast and unexpectedly surprising territory that is Namibia!Written 5 September 2024
- Don K0 contributionsIncredible sights of NamibiaI’ve just returned from an incredible 6 day camping safari trip through southern Namibian with fantastic sights of the desert landscape. Our guide driver Raymond and our cook Bronihel are a wonderful team who took great care looking after us throughout the tour. All the stops provided a chance to appreciate and experience the Namibian landscape in its vastness, harshness and beauty. An overnight sleepover close to the Fish River Canyon to give visitors a sleep underneath the stars as well as a sunrise or sunset experience of the canyon would be a wonderful addition to this itinerary.Written 5 September 2024
- adathome0 contributionsSuper Simon’s Superior SafariI have just returned from the absolutely wonderful 6 day trip to the Etosha National Park organised by Chameleon Safaris. There were so many highlights it would be difficult to pick out just one, but perhaps the best was seeing an extended family of elephants drink and wash at a waterhole only a few feet away. It is primarily a camping trip so be prepared to put up and take down you own tent (with some assistance) and generally muck in with some of the chores such as washing up dishes after meals etc. it makes life easier for everyone. Although it was billed as a budget trip it was great value for money. A special shout out to the fantastic Simon - our excellent driver, cook and guide for the entire trip. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he kept smiling for the entire six days which really takes some doing. He even managed to cope with my unusual dietary quirks without so much as a raised eyebrow! Chameleon has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the best tour operators in Namibia. Thoroughly recommended and with Simon at the wheel you won’t go far wrong.Written 3 September 2024

Simon ensured that there were various stops along the way for restroom breaks, which was particularly helpful with kids in tow. The facilities were decent, which made the journey even more comfortable.Written 1 September 2024

He made sure we caught the sunset on Elim Dune and the sunrise on Dune 45, both of which were unforgettable moments. Simon was also fantastic at capturing our family memories, taking beautiful photos that we will cherish forever.Written 1 September 2024

I did the 3-day Etosha tour that's part of this trip. It was a wonderful experience and we were lucky to see many animals, despite the rainy season. Our guide, Tulimo, was very knowledgeable about the animals and vegetation in the park, as well as the local tribes we visited. We ate very well and the overland vehicle is super comfortable. I highly recommend booking with Chameleon Safaris to see the highlights of Namibia.

This tour was fabulous! Our guide, Tulimo, was an amazing guide, chef and photographer! Considering it was the rainy season, we still saw lots of animals (including elephant, white rhino, hyena, zebra, ostrich and so many others).
We stayed in places with beautiful sunrises and sunsets and ate delicious food with stunning views.
Definitely recommend!

Just returned from a fantastic 6-day safari in Namibia with Chameleon Safaris, visiting Etosha and Sossusvlei. Our guide, Kennedy, was phenomenal—his deep knowledge and skill at handling the long drives made the trip smooth and really enjoyable. He managed everything perfectly, from the game drives to keeping us on schedule.
The whole team at Chameleon Safaris was incredibly organized, making our experience both personal and seamless. If you're heading to Namibia for a safari, I highly recommend booking with them. Kennedy and the crew made sure we had an unforgettable adventure!

We went on the 6 days dunes and wildlife group tour and had the best time ever. The whole week was perfectly organized. Huge thanks to our guide Tinashe, the best guide we could have ever asked for. He was so attentive, caring, always in a good mood and made sure everyone is happy and feeling fine at any time. This tour contained a lot of long drives and we were wondering if there could not be a second person to support the guide. He drove a lot everyday, got up very early, prepared our breakfast and lunch daily and cooked great meals for dinner. Furthermore he answered all our questions and made this week a perfect one for each of us. It was hard work for him so we wished there would have been an extra driver so the guide could get a chance to rest. Nevertheless I would recommend chameleon safaris at anytime and will definitely come back for another tour. Thank you for the amazing time!

Truly an amazing experience from beginning to end. Incredibly well organized. Each day was made amazing by our guide Tinashe, who had a wealth of knowledge about Namibian history, its animals, its geology, its ecology, and its people. He was able to accommodate all our requests and answer every question we had. Could not recommend doing a Chameleon safari with him more. He made the experience unforgettable!

A wonderful experience all round. Due to our inflexible timing we couldn’t join the 6 day tour, but thanks to Macedo we were able to enjoy everything the tour has to offer, just in a different order. In between and after our tours we were offered interesting day activities, such as wildlife conservation volunteering, and city tour. Both highly recommended. Our guides to the desert (Daniel), and to Etosha (Tulimo) were great, interesting and funny as well. The lodging accommodations on the tour were amazing as well. Nice, modern, spacious, and in amazing settings. The value for money is also really good. Thank you dear Chameleon team for the amazing holiday.

My husband and I had the most splendid experience with this tour. There was a variety of experiences including game drives at Etosha and sand dune climbing at Sossusvlei. Our guide Gideon was extremely professional - he did everything from explaining about Namibia to driving (many, many kilometres) to cooking almost every single meal for us. He could whip up a meal just about anywhere and we had so many delicious meals in the most beautiful landscapes. He was also highly skilled in spotting all the elusive wildlife at Etosha. The accommodations were all amazing. Highly recommended!

Thank you for sharing your splendid experience with this tour! It's wonderful to hear about the diverse range of activities, from the exciting game drives at Etosha to the exhilarating sand dune climbing at Sossusvlei. Gideon's professionalism and multitasking abilities, from explaining about Namibia to driving long distances and cooking delicious meals, truly made the trip memorable I believe :-). The combination of scrumptious meals and breath-taking landscapes must have been a treat for the senses. It's impressive that Gideon's expertise extended to spotting elusive wildlife at Etosha. Chameleon Team wish you more years of good travel.

Wonderful 6 days with our amazing guide Abraham who ensured we saw many of the favourite and unusual animals, extraordinary landscapes and kept us well-fed, happy and healthy. It was a wonderful experience! Namibia has long distances so there was a lot of time driving and our vehicle did not have functioning air conditioning which was a problem, particularly on one day in the Namib with temperatures around 39 degrees. Accommodation was great and we had good travelling companions.

Thanks for travelling with us and glad that you enjoyed your tour with Abraham.
Namibia is a huge country, and so to cover the highlights in just 6 days it does require quite a bit of driving. As such, we have recently fitted our vehicles with air-conditioners, but I believe there was a technical issue that caused it not to work on your trip, we are really sorry about this.
Thanks for choosing Chameleon

A fascinating experience with a ton of memories which will last for a lifetime. I have traveled the world quite a lot, but this Safari was a blast.
Tulimo, our Tourguide is a patient, competent and fun person to be with and knows how to deal with a crowd with different needs and wishes. ( He should be promoted)
All in all, I can highly recommend this trip, if you desire to experience something unique.

I spent the 6D5Ns tour with Chameleon Safaris and had the most wonderful time enjoying Namibia 🇳🇦 We had Kennedy as our tour guide who was very knowledgeable, fun and patient. We got to experience Namibia's finest at every spot of the tour! He was punctual, reliable and helpful to everyone in the tour group (: The tour was made so worthwhile thanks to Kennedy our guide and Suzie [manager at Chameleon Safaris]. They accommodated to my request to extend my initial tour and were very efficient with the whole process! As a solo traveller I felt very safe with Chameleon Safaris and also got on very well with the entire tour group who were from all parts of the world (:
The pictures speak for how well the trip went (:

Hi, thank you for the lovely feedback of your safari with Kennedy and Chameleon. It is always wonderful to hear that our guests enjoy their stay and the marvellous sights and experiences Namibia has to offer. We believe the tours are perfect for solo travellers, as well as couples and friend groups. But the best part is meeting new people who may become future friends. Hopefully you will return one day, Namibia has a way of stealing your heart.

Hallo
Ich interessiere mich für diese 6 tägige Dünen und Wildtiersafari, eventuell mit dem Termin 27. April 2021
bitte geben sie mir auf folgende Fragen eine Antwort :
1. Wie ist momentan die Einreise nach Namibia und werden die
angebotenen Touren zu den fixierten Reiseterminen durchgefĂĽhrt.
2. Ich möchte diese Tour im Anschluß an eine Jagdsafari machen, deshalb ist es mir wichtig, dass die angegebenen Zeiten eingehalten werden. Ich bin aus Österreich und habe fixe Flugzeiten im vorhinein gebucht.
3. Wird diese Tour auch in deutscher Sprache abgehalten.
4. Ich bin alleine und möchte ein Einzelzimmer, wie hoch ist der Reisepreis.
5. Besteht eine Möglichkeit Koffer am Abfahrtsort zu deponieren, da ich ja vorher auf Jagdsafari bin, will ich nicht den ganzen Koffer mitnehmen.
6. Mit welchen zusätzlichen Kosten ist zu rechnen.
7. Ist eine Anzahlung zu leisten, wenn ja, in welcher Höhe
8. Wie sind die Stornobedingungen, ich muß leider Fragen, weil in Coronazeiten täglich neue Richtlinien erlassen werden.
9. Wie groĂź muĂź die Reisegruppe sein, damit diese Reise stattfindet.
Freundliche GrĂĽĂźe :
