What people love about Budget Tours in Namibia
- 4 Day Etosha & Swakopmund Accommodated Adventure
My three friends and I had an AMAZING time with Chameleon Safaris despite our robbed episode the day before the beginning of our adventure at the Safari. Each and every person made our trip worth everything. The staff being, the guide; Fancois, the driver; Franc, and most importantly our life saver; Jackie! They all made us feel safe among nature - witch after a such traumatic episode, might've seemed impossible. And for that, we'd like to thank each and every person who made it happen; Francois and Franc, thank you guys for cheering us up! Last but not least, thank you Jackie, for "pushing us" into the quard bike adventure, despite our people/namibiphobia lol. It was a beautiful beautiful morning, so was the trip back from Swarkopmund to Windhoek. Thanks! Best Regards, The four Danes!
- 7 Days / 6 Nights Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park
My journey was very good. My guide Simon was awesome and always helpful. Namibia is a great country and the people are always nice to me
- Cape & Dunes Southbound: Desert Camping & Safari Drives
I had lots of fun on this trip, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. You spend a lot of time on the lando (just about half of each day). Once you get to the camp it's putting your tent together and unpacking the lando. Then at 7pm it's dark outside. In the mornings (sometimes at 5.30 am) you take your tent back down and load everything back onto the lando. In between we were able to do some short hikes and walks, but there wasn't enough time to really explore the country and see the scenery. You have to stick to a schedule and there is no flexibility. Also a lot of the time, when you didn't book any of the extra activities there was absolutely nothing to do. And the activities were often more expensive than previously announced. The kayak tour on orange river eg is 400 and not 300 Rand. What made this trip great was the people. We were really lucky with our group and all got along really well. The two CEO were also really fun and took great care of us.
What our customers ask about Budget Tours to Namibia
What are the included activities on budget tours in Namibia?
Budget tours focus on key experiences in Namibia's main attractions. You'll get morning and afternoon game drives in Etosha National Park and visits to the desert landscapes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. Tours also take you on walks through Sesriem Canyon and stop at the Tropic of Capricorn marker. Some itineraries add cultural experiences like visiting the Himba Village near Kamanjab. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The included game drives were fantastic - our guide was knowledgeable and we saw lots of wildlife in Etosha."
What type of accommodation can I expect on budget tours in Namibia?
Your nights will be split between camping and basic lodging. Most tours provide 2-person canvas dome tents at established sites such as Okaukuejo Camp in Etosha National Park. You'll also stay at simple hotels like Hotel A La Mer in Swakopmund. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Don't be scared about the camping - it was an adventure and the tents were comfortable with proper facilities at most sites."
What is the average daily budget needed for meals not included?
Plan for 25-30 USD per day for meals outside the tour price. While basic breakfasts and some dinners come with most tours you'll need to cover lunches and drinks. Restaurant meals in cities like Swakopmund cost 10-20 USD. Local food markets offer more affordable options at 5-10 USD per meal. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The food options in towns were reasonably priced especially if you're willing to try local spots."
How much additional money should I budget for optional activities?
Set aside 100-200 USD for extra activities during your tour. Popular options include sand boarding in Swakopmund for 40 USD guided desert walks for 30 USD and night game drives in Etosha for 60 USD. A traveler shared: "Having an extra 150 USD covered all the optional activities I wanted to do without going over budget."
When is the most affordable time to visit Namibia?
Travel during April-May or September-October for the best combination of value and weather. These shoulder seasons bring fewer crowds and lower prices than the peak months of July-August. Places like Desert Camp near Sesriem reduce their rates during these periods. Tours run year-round but offer better deals in shoulder season. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We went in April and got great weather plus better rates on accommodation."
Are entrance fees to national parks included in budget tour prices?
Most budget tours cover all major park entrance costs. This includes Etosha National Park fees (80 USD per day) and Sossusvlei access (60 USD). The price typically covers both park entry and guided activities like game drives and walks in Deadvlei. A TourRadar traveler confirmed: "All park fees were included and we didn't have to pay any additional entrance fees during the tour."
