A wide variety of activities. Good journeys although some were long but transport was reasonable. Both chef and driver were excellent. A special mention is reserved for the Chef who day after day produced good meals. Our guide was good and ran an effective trip which visited all the sites stated. It would have been helpful if maps could have been provide for the larger camp sites as it was vey disorientating and on 2 occasions I had to be rescued by other campers who had been provided with maps. Overall a very good trip

A really good little trip with excellent flexibility. Very small group size. Quite a bit of driving but our guide Theo was friendly and informative. Would recommend staying in the park itself as you then get to visit the waterhole at night and can pay for additional game drives. The standard trip involves staying just outside Etosha and driving in each day.

I had an amazing experience with Motema Tours and Safaris Namibia. The team was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about the wildlife and local culture. The tour was well organized, the vehicle was comfortable, and I felt safe throughout the journey. I really enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and the guide made sure we didn’t miss anything. Highly recommend them for anyone visiting Namibia and looking for a memorable safari experience

He knew where to find the animals at Etosha" confirming the value of visiting during peak season.

A 2-3 day stay allows visitors to explore the park properly through multiple game drives at different times and locations. This timeframe lets guests experience both dawn and dusk viewing when animals are most active.
