Do you Need a Tour to Travel Namibia
There is a lot at stake when planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa to experience a safari. Figuring out the ideal itinerary, determining which safari lodge is right for you, and navigating unfamiliar logistics can feel overwhelming.
After planning our Namibia trip independently and working with a safari tour agency for other parts of Africa, we can confidently say this: Africa is one of the few places where booking through a tour agency is 100% worth it.
It saves time, removes stress, and won’t cost you more — at least with the right agencies (like the ones we trust), since their commission comes from the supplier, not your wallet.
We personally love trip planning and enjoyed organizing our Namibia route. But it was a lot of work, and booking some places was surprisingly tricky. If you’d rather have everything arranged for you, we highly recommend one of Africa’s leading Safari Companies, Safari.com.
They offer an amazing 10-day Namibia self-drive itinerary with pre-booked stops and accommodations — or you can opt for their fully guided 10-day Namibia Highlights tour. All tours are fully customizable based on your travel style.
Choosing the Right Safari Tour Agency
When it comes to a once-in-a-lifetime trip like an African safari, choosing the right tour agency makes all the difference.
Here’s why we trust Safari.com:
Why We Recommend Safari.com
- 18+ years of experience across top safari destinations like South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Botswana, and more
- Same price as booking direct — their commission comes from suppliers, not you
- Strong focus on ethical wildlife tourism
- All Tours are Private (we highly recommended to go private, it’s worth the extra $$)
- There to offer you support 24/7, before, during, and after your trip!
- They won the Africa’s Leading Safari Company Award in 2024 and 2025, celebrating their commitment to excellence, safety, and luxury
- Includes a travel insurance and financial protection to protect you against unexpected circumstances
- They have a 4.9/5 rating with 1131 reviews on Trustpilot (with a 96% 5-star rating, the highest in the industry), 5.0 on Tripadvisor and 4.9 on Google
Their 10-day Namibia self-drive itinerary covers all the major highlights: Windhoek, Spitzkoppe, Swakopmund, Sossusvlei, and two incredible private safari lodges: Erindi and Okonjima. While this route doesn’t include Etosha National Park, it’s a practical trade-off to avoid rushing, as Etosha is much farther out.
After doing our own 15-day road trip through Namibia, we feel this shorter itinerary strikes a great balance for those with limited time. This itinerary includes your rental car, handpicked accommodations, and expert support every step of the way.
