Very good package offered by Exodus, facilitated by Tour Radar. The latter provided excellent service with great communication throughout.
- 5 Days / 4 Nights Namibian Adventure (Comfort)
The local tour operator was very, very nice and covered expenses we thought we were responsible for, especially lunches and snacks. The tour guide was excellent. The accommodations were comfortable; one lodge was exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
- Classic Namibia 12 Days DEPARTING SATURDAYS **Sustainable Approach to Travel
My brother and I joined a group of twelve for the unforgettable Namibia classic camping safari and it was absolutely off the charts! Organization was great that the tour flowed flawlessly for the twelve days. We experienced different facets of Namibia's culture, landscapes and wildlife. Our driver/guide Steinner and his assistant guide/cook Klugger were fun to be with, answering all our numerous questions, cooking sumptuous meals. Its worth pointing out that Patrick of reservations kept close contact all through the safari. It was an amazing tour of Namibia which is such a beautiful country
What our customers ask about Namibia Family Tours
When is the best time to visit Namibia with children?
The dry winter season between May and October offers ideal conditions for family travel in Namibia. During these months the mild temperatures and clear skies create perfect conditions for wildlife viewing in Etosha National Park. The coastal town of Swakopmund stays pleasant year-round making it good for beach activities. While Sossusvlai is accessible throughout the year early morning visits work best to avoid the heat. A TourRadar traveler shared: "July was perfect - comfortable temperatures for activities and amazing wildlife sightings that kept the kids excited."
How long should a family trip to Namibia be to see the main highlights?
Plan for 9-12 days to see Namibia's key attractions at a relaxed pace with children. Popular routes like the 15-day Deserts & Delta Family Overland tour give families enough time to explore major sites including Etosha National Park Swakopmund and Sossusvlai. For those with limited time the 6-day Etosha Swakopmund & Sossusvlai tour covers the essentials. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The pace was perfect for our family, with enough time to enjoy each destination fully."
What types of accommodation options are available for families in Namibia?
Family lodging in Namibia ranges from well-appointed lodges to guided camping experiences. Near Sossusvlai the Desert Quiver Camp offers family units while Etosha Safari Lodge provides rooms with private bathrooms and pools. The coastal Hotel A La Mer in Swakopmund puts families close to town attractions. Properties like Okaukuejo Resort in Etosha feature lit waterholes where families can watch wildlife after dark. From a TourRadar review: "Awesome itinerary. The accommodation was terrific and accommodated all our needs."
What wildlife can families expect to see in Etosha National Park?
Etosha National Park houses 114 mammal species and 350 bird species across its vast landscape. Regular sightings include elephants lions giraffes and zebras with chances to spot rare black rhinos at Okaukuejo waterhole. The park's level terrain and good roads make wildlife viewing accessible for children with many safe observation points at waterholes. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The game drives were highlight for our kids - seeing elephants and lions in their natural habitat was unforgettable."
How long are the driving distances between destinations and are they suitable for children?
Travel times between major sites typically run 3-6 hours with the drive from Etosha National Park to Swakopmund covering 510km. Tours include regular breaks for wildlife spotting photos and rest stops. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "Whilst distances were great so a lot of time was spent travelling, we saw so much. I would advise parents of younger children to think carefully about whether this holiday is suitable because of the amount of driving involved."
What are the best educational experiences for children in Namibia?
Natural classrooms abound in Namibia starting with wildlife lessons in Etosha National Park's diverse ecosystem. Children can observe marine life at Cape Cross Seal Colony along the Skeleton Coast or learn about desert adaptation at Sossusvlai. Cultural education happens at sites like the Mbunza Living Museum near Rundu where families experience traditional ways of life. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The guide was amazing at explaining everything at a level everyone could understand."
