Our Namibia tour was terrific. Such a diverise landscape from extreme deserts to amazing animals in Etosha. Most of the accomodations were good except for one but we had a terrific time. When we finished the tour, we found the world had changed drastically due to the virus.

The trip overall was wonderful for what it was described as. It is camping, but the facilities were great condition and I was pleasantly surprised. We stayed at great locations and saw many great sites. The main guide Justin made a big difference in adding to the joy of the trip. He was a great communicator, chef, guide, animal spotter, and funny. Our driver was also great (i don't have right spelling but think something like Savius). The long drives were tough some days, but we covered a lot of ground and it comes as expected. it was a fun adventure and we had many wonderful experiences out in God's creation. The overland truck/bus that we used was a little worn down, but nothing too bad. We were comfortable. The food was really delicious, especially the dinners, and had good variety for dinner. The breakfasts and lunches got tiresome and were pretty repetitive, but oh well. That is my main critique, wish we had a few meals to eat out on the road and it would be quicker and less cleanup. Thank you all

Namibia Overland Truck tours are at their best during the dry season from May to October. This period is ideal for spotting wildlife in Etosha National Park as animals gather around the waterholes.

A TourRadar traveler noted "We had incredible wildlife sightings during our June safari in Etosha with perfect weather conditions for camping and photography."
What type of accommodation can I expect on a Namibia Overland Truck tour?
The accommodations range from basic camping to comfortable lodges and permanent tented camps. Travelers might spend a night at Arebbusch Lodge in Windhoek which features two pools and a native garden then move to more remote spots like the Brandberg White Lady Lodge in Damaraland. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Most accommodations were good offering a great mix of comfort and authentic African wilderness experience especially the lodges within Etosha National Park with their floodlit waterholes."
What are the must-see highlights of a Namibia Overland Truck tour?
The key stops include Etosha National Park's game drives and the massive dunes of Sossusvlei including Dune 45. Visitors also explore Swakopmund's German colonial architecture the stark beauty of Deadvlei Fish River Canyon and Brandberg Mountain's rock art. As one TourRadar traveler put it: "Such a diverse landscape from extreme deserts to amazing animals in Etosha. The dunes at Sossusvlei were absolutely breathtaking at sunrise."

The park houses 114 mammal species and 340 bird species. Visitors regularly spot elephants lions giraffes zebras and various antelopes especially near waterholes like Okaukuejo during the dry season.
