Thank you for creating a special plan tailored to us!

We wanted to visit the Himba tribe and the Namib Desert in Namibia over five days,
and I am very grateful for organizing a tour that was hard to find online.
■Good points
- As mentioned above, they arranged a private tour for us,
- Even though we only mentioned it was our honeymoon once, they informed the hotel, and the service made it memorable.

■ Points for improvement
- When proposing the tour, terms like 'sundowner' were used as if they were common knowledge,
so it would have been nice to have an explanation.

Since it was hard to find an African trip online from Japan,
I am very grateful for this kind of service.
I hope it reaches more people, and I am recommending it to my friends!!!

Thanks to Oooh, I had the best experience and I am full of gratitude!
Thank you very much!

Planning that catered to detailed requests

We used their services for a week-long trip to Namibia.
We told them our desired destinations and budget, and they quickly created a plan for us. Thank you.

They accommodated our detailed requests for budget adjustments and visiting various tourist spots in a short period. The chat communication was very smooth, so even though we didn't have much time before departure, the plan was quickly finalized.

They communicated with the local tour company, allowing us to enjoy our trip with peace of mind on the day. Thank you very much.

    Travel is an opportunity for healing, learning, discovery, challenge, and self-reflection.
    I think it's the moment when you can be most yourself. Let's go find ourselves in the vast world we still don't know.
    Since I was little, I've loved nature and animals, climbing trees and feeding stray dogs, and I'm happy to be involved in work related to Africa!
    Africa, where the real world of 'National Geographic' unfolds. Let us help you with a simple yet luxurious, unforgettable journey!

    I was born in a rural town in Zimbabwe, obtained a degree in wildlife management, and then qualified as a guide.
    We offer travel experiences that are a bit different from ordinary tours, including deserts, wetlands, wildlife, photography, culture, and bird watching.
    I love traveling so much that I forget I'm 'working' during tours, so let's enjoy the trip together!
    I look forward to using my experience traveling with enthusiastic travelers from around the world to assist with your travels!

What kind of country is Namibia?

Namibia is located in southwestern Africa, and most of the country is covered by deserts, and the Namib Desert stretches for more than 1,5000 km on the Atlantic side. It is the oldest desert in the world, formed about 80 million years ago, and was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2013 and is worth a visit. In fact, it has its own plants and serves as food and household goods for the locals. Please visit Namibia and feel the 360-degree panorama of the great desert that cannot be seen in Japan.

Namibia attractions.

  • Namib Desert

    Classic

    area

    The oldest desert in the world. Warm orange sand dunes line the area, boasting a different level of beauty. If you climb the sand dunes as high as 300 meters, you will have a fantastic view that will make you even know where you are. You can see the natural mysteries created by the resonance of ancient wind, water, and sand, such as the patterns of sand created by the wind and the dunes dyed red by the sunset.

  • Dead Frey

    Classic

    spot

    A dry lake in the desert named "Swamp of Death". The sky, sand dunes and isolated trees create a mystical atmosphere that mixes beauty and melancholy. Especially in the early morning, it makes the dead flay even more beautiful. The sand dunes burned bright red by the morning sun and the shadows of the trees merge to create a landscape that looks like a masterpiece.

  • Etosha National Park

    A hidden gem

    Experience

    One of Africa's largest national parks spread over arid regions. In addition to the fact that there are few trees that serve as hiding places, there are a number of water holes in the park, making it easy to observe animals. The sight of different species of animals coming together in one place is a masterpiece. You can also go on safari with your own driving.

  • Cape Cross Fur Seal Sanctuary

    A hidden gem

    spot

    One of the largest colonies in the world where tens of thousands of southern African fur seals gather. There is a strange world where fur seals are camped in all directions, front, back, left and right. You'll be amazed by the crowds occupying the coastline and rocky areas, the sheer numbers, the constant noise, and the smell of the wild. It is also the place where Europeans landed in Namibia.

  • Fish River Canyon

    Classic

    spot

    The second largest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon. It is also the deepest valley on the African continent, and its impressive scenery and diverse terrain attract many tourists. During sunset and sunrise hours, the canyon's beautiful colors stand out even more.

    Show more

  • Hoba Meteorite

    A hidden gem

    spot

    The largest meteorite in the world. The meteorite discovered in 1920 is about 2.7 meters in size and width, about 1 meter thick, and has a mass of about 60 tons. It is a very valuable object, but you can not only see it, but also touch it. Feel the extraterrestrial power.

This and that I am interested in when traveling to Namibia.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
・For currency exchange, obtain US dollars, euros, or South African rand in Japan and exchange them at local airports or hotel exchange counters. Direct exchange from Japanese yen to Namibian dollars is not possible.
・In Southern Africa, credit cards are so widespread that they are called plastic money. Therefore, they can be used in most hotels, restaurants, and large supermarkets. However, they may not be accepted in small individual shops or taxis, so it is recommended to use a combination of cards and cash.
Tips
・There is a tipping culture.
・Restaurants and bars: About 10% of the bill
・Porters and maids in luxury hotels: About N$5-10
・Guides: It is good to tip an amount based on your satisfaction.
Public Safety
・Namibia is said to be politically stable and relatively safe, but you cannot be complacent compared to Japan.
・Be cautious of pickpockets and robberies in the capital and tourist areas. Additionally, avoid areas with car break-ins and border regions with other countries where drug use and theft occur.
Clothing
・During the day, it's good to wear summer clothes like short sleeves as in Japan. However, it gets quite cold in the mornings and evenings, so having a sweater or fleece is convenient. Be particularly cautious of the severe cold in July and August.
Things you should bring with you
Stomach medicine, cold medicine, mobile battery, insect repellent items, sun protection items, etc.
Visa availability and arrangements
・Japanese nationals do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days for tourism purposes. However, a booked return flight ticket is required. Regardless of the 90-day stay period, a stay permit is often issued according to the actual stay period, so be cautious if there are any schedule changes after entering the country.
Required vaccinations
・There are no mandatory requirements for travel, but vaccinations for meningitis, tetanus, and hepatitis B are recommended.
・There are endemic diseases, so be cautious of infections from food or cuts even in everyday life.
