carefully curated private tour did not disappoint!
5/5

I recently traveled to Windhoek, Namibia for business from the western USA, and since I was traveling all that way, I added a week so I could see a the desert, coast and Etosha. People Tours and Safari had an itinerary and a price point I liked for a mid-range tour, and could accommodate my schedule, pick me up at my hotel and drop me at the airport for my flight. What I received was a turn-key, carefully curated trip with just me and a driver/guide in a 4WD vehicle. I didn't have to do a thing other than show up! The accommodations ranged from standard safari lodge places to a charming bed and breakfast on the coast to an up-scale place just outside of Etosha, to a concession inside of Etosha. The driver/guide (Timo) was at all times gracious, friendly and interesting to talk to, and looked after me well from start to finish. We hiked to Deadvlei, rode ATVs on the dunes, ate at great restaurants, visited a Himba village, and experienced the desert, dunes, coast, Etosha Pan and everything in between. With just me as the client, I could indulge in my love of birdwatching and photography without inconveniencing anyone. I would definitely go with Peoples again!

Accommodating and easy to work with
5/5

We did a 3 day budget tour of Sossusvlei from Windhoek. Our guide Matheus was amazing. His knowledge of everything we encountered was impressive. He was very accommodating and allowed us the time to see what we wanted to see. He also made great suggestions to ensure we saw the highlights. The camping set up was pretty basic, but we have done lots of rough camping so we were completely fine with that and loved the idea of camping in Africa. Matheus worked hard to make sure we were looked after. Sesriem is the closest town to Sossusvlei and in this package it allows you to camp inside the first gate, giving you earlier access in the morning. Sesriem is a fairly long drive from Windhoek, but allows you the chance to see some amazing sites and experience natural Namibia.
Sossusvlei is an incredible experience. Absolutely worth the effort to get there.

Very client oriented. Great service
5/5

Namibia has been on our bucket list for some time. People Tours fitted our requirements perfectly.
Our coordinator Emilia came up with an excellent itinerary which covered our areas of interest hiking nature wildlife. We had to change our dates several times and at the last minute my passport had to go for renewal. Emilia took it all in her stride and ensured us that all would be well considering it was peak season.
Our guide Leonar met us promptly at the airport where the airline had delayed one of our bags. Again we were assured our it being returned wherever in our itinerary we would be.
The car was spacious and comfortable we had cold drinks in a cool box and an attentive friendly guide.
From climbing big Daddy dune, to hiking Sesriem canyon, sampling great Namibian game cuisine, driving tirelessly to spot wildlife in Etosha, we found Leonard to be a delightful companion.
I heartily recommende People Tours in Namibia.

He was very nice, and helpful.
5/5

Phillip was our tour operator. He was very nice and accomodating when our plans changed. He gave us the right amount of information without hounding us with information. Sometimes it’s better just to enjoy the moment being in a beautiful place like Namibia.
He did give us lots of insight amount the people, and places within the country. He was always making sure we were well taken care of.

We had two other tour guides join us briefly during the trip and they were both very friendly.

Emilia was our tour organiser, and she did a wonderful job of keeping us updated and helping us organise additions and changes to the trip.

The company seems small but very well organised. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.

This is a trustworthy travel agency
5/5

We chose this travel agency after comparing it with several others. Initially, during the quotation phase, compared to other companies, we already felt that the staff at this agency were more responsible. They patiently answered our questions, understood our needs, and offered a reasonable price. Throughout our entire Namibia trip, we received excellent service. The itinerary was well-arranged, and we had a fun and worry-free experience. Looking back, this package was truly value for money.

We are especially grateful to our guide, Philip. He drove safely and steadily, managed time efficiently, and took great care of us as first-time visitors to Africa (helping us with food choices, patiently answering our many curious questions, accommodating our desire to take lots of photos, and understanding our jet lag and and always woke up early). The workload of a tour guide is quite demanding. Every day, the guide drive, introduce attractions, accompany us on tours, set up and take down tents, clean the sand inside and outside the vehicle, arrange our meals, and ensure a constant supply of drinking water and sometimes snacks. It felt like our Philip never rested. Every night after dinner, we would return to find our tents very clean, even our suitcases were wiped clean. We were amazed by his work.

No doubt, this was a worthwhile tour that will leave us with unforgettable memories. My friends are surprised by my experience and some thinking of going on a Namibia trip.

Amazing, very responsive and very happy to look at different options. Ms Emilia is wonderful.
5/5

I booked this tour on line after reviewing and reading the amazing reviews. I was traveling from NZ on my own and asked how many other people would be traveling, and it ended up being Sacky (Tour guide/driver) and myself for 14 days and 13 nights.
From when I landed in Windhoek and met Sacky, we had the most amazing time exploring the beauty of Namibia - extreme landscapes to the most incredible animals - I love photography.
Sacky was an incredible guide and driver - very knowledgable, thoughtful, kind and we had lots of laughs. He loves what he does and you can see this every day. Sacky is well known and respected at the different lodges we stayed at.
When you think about how you arrive and then spend 14 days with a person you have never met, we got on so well, learnt so much about Namibia and shared about each others lives.
Some of the days involve a lot of driving 4-6 hours on gravel roads with lots of bumps and potholes, we just got on with it and could relax and enjoy the different scenario. Sacky has a great music selection.
I was able to take amazing photographs of the wildlife and elephants being my favorite, there were some incredible moments of just sitting in the ute and these beautiful animals just walking past you.
Sacky would always discuss what we were doing the next day and time to meet.
I can not rate Sacky highly enough, in all the 14 days there was nothing that we argued or complained about.
We became good friends during this experience and will remain so.
If you get a chance to have Sacky as your guide - you will be very lucky and have an amazing journey.

Amazing trip around a breathtaking country
5/5

We have just completed our 8-day private tour around Namibia with People Tours and Safari. The country had always been a bucket list destination for us and thanks to the team's hard work and due care, the trip was an amazing experience that exceeded our expectations.

While we planned the trip fairly last minute, the team still managed to prepare a few iterations of the itinerary for us. Aina was very accommodating and worked closely with us to tailor the itinerary to our tight schedule. She also helped us assess different accommodation and activity options to suit our needs best. Another deciding factor that led us to select People Tours and Safari was their online itinerary, which we consider to be very well presented and easy to follow compared to other providers. While some communications could be improved, in overall we are happy with the team's service.

Eeno was the guide who took us to Namibia's most breathtaking landscapes, including Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Kamanjab, and Etosha. Eeno was very attentive, on time, and patient with us. He drove safely on the whole 1,500km journey and demonstrated good knowledge of the Etosha Park area. We sensed a big heart and great empathy from him to others, especially the less fortunate whom we met along the way. Besides, we had a comfortable airport pick-up with Luke and a great Windhoek city tour with Timo. Timo was particularly charismatic and we really enjoyed speaking with him. We experienced the city from the perspective of a local, which was exactly what we were looking for.

Friendly, accomodating, reasonable, great
5/5

I booked a 3 day tour of the Soussvlei and Sandwich harbor with them. People's safari team was very accommodating to my needs and schedule. I was able to customize my tour, add sandwich harbor, start the tour on the day I wanted too. They were much more reasonable than others offering the same tours, but they were as good, or even better than others in service.
My guide Ricky was very knowledgeable. He knew all the places, wildlife, etc and I learned a great deal about Namibia and its landscape through him. He was warm, friendly, was happy to take my photos (I was traveling solo). I enjoyed our conversations during long drives. He drove well, we were always on schedule and we were the first ones in line and to climb Dune 45! The camp at Soussvlei was nice, clean, and Ricky set that up for me.
People's safari is a very good company based on the experience I have with them on this tour and Ricky was a great guide to do this tour with. I highly recommend to use them for your Namibia travels. It is a beautiful country and I intend to go back there and plan my travels with them again.
