    Reply from: Chameleon Safaris Namibia
    Hi Patricia, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so happy to hear that booking the 12 Day Classic Namibia Camping Safari turned into such an incredible experience for you. Solo travel can be amazing, but you are absolutely right, the planning and logistics can become a lot to manage. We are delighted that Taimi and Shaka helped make everything feel seamless, relaxed, and far more rewarding than doing it all alone. They will both be so pleased to hear your kind words. It is also lovely to know that your small group of 6 connected so well. Sharing Namibia’s landscapes, wildlife, campsites and stories with like-minded travellers is such a special part of the journey. We are especially happy you enjoyed the meals enough to take notes for your own camping trip back home. That is a compliment our guides will definitely appreciate! Thank you again for choosing Chameleon Safaris and for recommending the tour so warmly. We hope the memories stay with you for a long time. Warm regards, Gavin

      Kathy

      Traveler•Written January 2025

      Can I book the tour now and add the insurance afterwards? Or can it only be done at time of purchase of the tour?

    • Chameleon Safaris NamibiaOperator•Written January 2025

      We at Chameleon Safaris do not provide travel insurance; we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance from your preferred supplier. The insurance is due to unforeseen events such as a missed or cancelled flight. Sickness just before the travel date and possible loss of luggage. This can be purchased after you book the tour and provided to us later.

      Raymond

      Traveler•Written November 2023

      I started looking at flights, and the flight I am thinking of booking arrives in Windhoek on 18-May at 12:45 pm, day 1 of the tour. Will the arrival time be a problem with the itinerary?

    • Chameleon Safaris NamibiaOperator•Written November 2023

      The arrival time might pose a minor issue, but it's manageable. Alternatively, we can arrange a shuttle to transport you directly to Mount Etjo Safaris Lodge/Campsite. The shuttle service will cost N$4000, payable directly to the shuttle company in cash.

    Trevor

    Asked on August 16th, 2022

    do you go thru Damaraland and look for the desert elephants? And do you go to Walvus Bay?

    Tour Details
    • Chameleon Safaris NamibiaOperator•Written August 2022

      Unfortunately, we just drive through the Damaraland with hopes to spot more and enjoy the landscapes, as well as to see the local people who leave in this area. With this tour we do not visit Walvisbay, but you can do a day tour when you are in Swakopmund. But this will be at your own expense.

      Trevor

      Traveler•Written August 2022

      When camping, do we sleep on the ground or on cots, and is there any other camping gear you recommend I should bring? Water purification, bug repellent, pillow/clothing, etc, etc ? Also, is there a way to charge our camera batteries while camping?

    • Chameleon Safaris NamibiaOperator•Written August 2022

      You just bring along the insect repellent and items of personal nature. I suggest you bring a torch along. We provide the basic equipment's like tents, mattress, small camping pillows and all other related things like cutlery and plates. You can charge your camera battery at the reception area or in the vehicle.

      Trevor

      Traveler•Written August 2022

      I'm vegetarian (no meat, fish but dairy ok) and wanted to add the vegetarian meal option.
