Great Explorations Namibia

Our boutique and specialized travel agency in Windhoek, Namibia, was founded by Lilly, an industry expert with two decades of experience in guiding travellers through Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls.

We pride ourselves on being a small, dynamic, focused and independent organisation. Based in Namibia, we have plenty of local advice and knowledge and are always on hand to sort out any last minute details of your Namibian holiday. Book your adventure in Africa with us. 

What We Do 

Our focus is on individual travellers and small groups, the overwhelming majority of whom are renting a car and self-driving around Namibia.

However, we also arrange guided safaris and fly-in safaris, book accommodation and arrange specialist tours - for example birdwatching or walking.

Our four-women team is completely independent and offers holidays that are tailored to your individual requirements, budget and interests. 

We offer 24/7 backup and are close by while you are travelling. Should you feel uncertain along the way or hit a “bump along the road” you can easily contact us, and we will gladly assist you to make your trip and stay in Namibia and Botswana as enjoyable as possible with little or no interruptions. 

What We Offer 

Self-Drive Tours - Freedom, Flexibility, and Personalized Experiences. From 7 to 17 days, with a self-drive safari, you’re in control. Enjoy the flexibility to stop for impromptu wildlife sightings, linger at scenic viewpoints and explore off-the-beaten-path destinations. Our self-drive packages include reliable vehicles equipped for the African terrain, comprehensive support and expert advice to ensure your journey is safe, enjoyable and tailored to your preferences. Whether cruising through the Namibian landscape or venturing into neighbouring countries, you’ll have an unforgettable experience, creating your own path and memories that will last a lifetime.

Fly-In Safaris - Discover the breathtaking beauty of Namibia from an unparalleled vantage point with our fly-in safaris. These aerial adventures offer a convenient, unique and exhilarating way to explore the vast and varied landscapes of Namibia. From the towering dunes of Sossusvlei to the wildlife-rich plains of Etosha National Park or the Okavango Delta in Botswana, a fly-in safari provides a bird’s-eye view of some of the most remote and spectacular regions in the country. Tailored for those who seek luxury and efficiency in their travels, these safaris combine the thrill of adventure with the comfort of swift and scenic transportation.

Specialist Tours - Crafted for those who seek more than just a typical sightseeing experience. Birding enthusiasts will delight in tours planned by a travel consultant, a birding expert, offering you unrivalled knowledge and insight into Namibia’s rich avian life. For the active traveller, our hiking, walking and cycling tours are not just about physical exercise. They’re an opportunity to connect with the natural world intimately.

Guided Safaris - private guided safaris or scheduled guided safaris. Our private guided safaris are designed with your comfort and preferences in mind. You’ll enjoy the flexibility to set your schedule, spend more time at sites that interest you, and skip the ones that don’t. A private guided safari brings you closer to the natural wonders of our stunning country and offers you the opportunity to engage with local communities, understand their traditions and appreciate their way of life. This cultural immersion adds an enriching layer to your safari experience, making it more than just a vacation but a journey of discovery and connection. 

Our scheduled guided safaris are group tours, designed for like-minded travellers who want to explore Namibia without the stress of driving, navigating or planning every detail. With our experienced guides at the wheel, you can sit back, relax and focus on the incredible wildlife encounters, striking desert scenery and highlights that make Namibia so unique.
