Flights to Namibia and Botswana from the UK: Our Recommended Routes & Airlines

An all-around wonderful travel experience with many unforgettable moments: animals, landscapes, and people—a great and fascinating diversity. The group was small and got along very well. Steven, our guide, was a fantastic ambassador for his country, who showed and explained his homeland to us in all its facets. We would love to set off for Namibia again right away!

Camping in the Moremi Reserve in the heart of the Okavango Delta is an unforgettable experience. Falling asleep listening to the roar of lions and waking up to the sound of elephants crossing the marsh, stepping out of the tent and seeing them 200 meters from the tent: breathtaking! Peter is an outstanding guide for spotting leopards and introducing us to wild dogs; moreover, he has excellent ornithological knowledge. He leads his little group with a masterful hand. Chobe National Park, the Makgadikgadi salt pans (and their meerkats), and the channels of the Okavango’s handle are also worth the trip.

Very beautiful trip, excellent services, superb accommodations, very good meals, guide and drivers were very good, a bit of a long drive at the end but it’s necessary to see interesting things; it’s a pity that on the last day the accommodation was far from Victoria Falls, exploring it on the day of arrival was very nice as we could walk to the villa. Thanks to Peter our guide who knows a lot, to Charles and Justice the bush drivers, to the great bush staff including Mma who did the cooking, and of course Clyde our dedicated driver who was always very cheerful and attentive. It was not necessary to bring sweaters or jackets as recommended, and we did have plenty of water on request in the bus and 4x4, contrary to what we had been told. We will recommend Africaventura to our friends and we will certainly travel again with this group.

Breathtaking journey! First, the desert with its red dunes and the Dalinian landscapes of Deadvlei. The hot air balloon ride was a unique experience. Then the seaside with its Breton climate and the charming town of Swakopmund. A unique cruise full of surprises not to be missed under any circumstances. Then the magnificent landscapes of Damaraland and the discovery of the local peoples. Then... THE SAFARIS!!!! Etosha, then Chobe. Here, there’s no need to look for the animals—they are everywhere and in their thousands. All together: elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, lions, impalas, springbok, ostriches, and even leopards. Then, crocodiles, buffaloes, hippos... Impossible to name them all. As for the accommodation: stunning lodges, then Ngepi camp in Robinson Crusoe style and the Out of Africa-style campsite... Everything is here to dazzle you and leave you with unforgettable memories, especially if you travel with our amazing guide Jimmy and very friendly travel companions.

This trip to Namibia was wonderful. Mao, our guide, shared with us his love for his country, taught us its history and geology, all in a great atmosphere with lots of humor and always positivity. We had unforgettable moments with a great team. Life is beautiful, as Mao would say 🥰

We had an absolutely unforgettable trip to Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. Everything came together for a perfect experience: magnificent and varied landscapes, incredibly kind and welcoming people, comfortable hotels with excellent cuisine, as well as safaris that amazed us from start to finish. A huge thank you to our guide Malia, whose passion and knowledge of her country and its history made this trip even more enriching. We have incredible memories and can only recommend this unique experience.

Amazing! Superb discovery trip in every way: dunes, desert landscapes, different safaris, wildlife, flora. Komoro ride, ... Top-notch 4-star national guide. High-quality accommodations with excellent bedding, often in settings with exceptional views. Delicious meals, very generous, sometimes organized in unusual places. Very friendly group, ...

Great mix of jeep and boat safaris, during which we were able to observe many animals well. The lodges were excellently chosen and the food was very delicious.

Unforgettable journey through Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe with Africaventura and our guide Joba Our trip with Africaventura through Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe was a real highlight. The organization was thoughtful and professional from start to finish – from the selection of the itinerary to the consistently well-chosen accommodations, which were both comfortable and authentic to the region. A special thanks goes to our contact person Lizelle, who put in a lot of effort beforehand. The telephone contact was extremely helpful and gave us the feeling of being very well taken care of – from the first inquiry to departure. The daily stages were varied and content-rich. While some days were certainly quite full, overall the route was very manageable. Our guide Joba was the key to making this trip so special. With his calm, always solution-oriented manner, he handled every situation confidently – even when things got tight. He knew how to take the pressure off the group, was always approachable, and at the same time a real part of the group. His local knowledge, his understanding of the country, people, and wildlife, and his humor enriched the trip – he brought Africa closer to us in a very personal, authentic way. Last but not least, he was an extremely safe driver whom we could trust at all times. Joba gave the trip exactly that local “spice” that you can’t plan – and that makes the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one. Conclusion: A wonderfully organized trip with impressive landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, and cultural depth. With Africaventura and a guide like Joba, you are in the best hands.

This was my first safari and my first discovery of Southern Africa. I was delighted with this trip, from Victoria Falls to the open spaces of Botswana; each "scene" more beautiful than the last. The program was able to be followed as planned. The animals of the savannah, the bush, the rivers and streams, the flora, the majestic baobabs, ... were all wonderful. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this. Camps, lodges, food—all top notch. It's true that perfection doesn't exist. I don't look for it at home and I won't look for it elsewhere. Peter, the guide, was available throughout the trip. He was very patient in explaining and re-explaining things to us ... attentive and always trying to catch any little question that might have gone unanswered. His knowledge is incredible. I loved listening to him. Even the constellations hold no secrets for him. Thank you so much, Peter, I miss your laughter. Quinton, a professional driver, was very helpful, patient, and always smiling. He couldn't avoid the "African massages"—the road conditions, which were very damaged, were not his responsibility. Thank you, Quinton, for caring about the state of my back. As you can see, I was fulfilled and deeply moved by all the discoveries throughout this trip.
