Amazing 6 days in Namibia!
Stephen C,May 26, 2026

5.00Started by getting collected from our hotel and going through a briefing which was all very clear. At this point we headed off to Etosha National Park, quite a long drive but beautiful scenery. We arrived at the park and did a game drive that evening and all day the following day. Absolutely amazing, we saw lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes and much more! The Taleni cabins the second evening were brilliant :) We then headed for Swakopmund and saw a famous shipwreck, went for a great meal at Tug that evening. Following this we headed for sossusvlei, the cabins there and lodge were fantastic! We saw Deadvlei, did a drive with picnic in the sand dunes. The whole experience was great, our guide and driver Gregory was absolutely fantastic, cannot recommend highly enough 👍🏻
Great way to see Namibia

5.00Excellent from start to finish. The game drives were brilliant, the guides very knowledgeable and switched on and the rest of the activities were really fun and varied. The cheetahs were a personal highlight. All the accommodation was awesome, especially the two nights in the Desert Quiver Camp. Our main guide and driver, Gregory, made the whole experience really relaxed and enjoyable.
Amazing tour!

5.00An unforgettable 6 days with Chameleon! I really cannot explain how special this experience was for me- the friends I made on the tour were brilliant and a bit thank you to Chaka and Simon our tour guides for their amazing hospitality. Some brilliant landscapes and most of the big 5 were spotted. The only thing I would change is the football team both Chaka and Simon support but nobody is perfect.
Anton is the best tour guide!

Safaris now always with Chameleon Safaris

5.00Unforgettable 6-Day Safari – A Truly Unique Experience! I recently completed a 6-day safari with Chameleon Safaris, and it was simply outstanding. Even though I ended up being the only guest on this trip, it turned into an incomparable and deeply personal journey. My Guide: Kennedy – Highly Recommended A huge thank you goes to my guide, Kennedy. He made the entire safari incredibly comfortable, safe, and informative. What sets him apart is his impressive linguistic talent: whether at the lodges or in the heart of Damaraland, Kennedy could converse with everyone we met. This opened doors to authentic and fascinating encounters with the Damara, Herero, and Himba people—experiences I wouldn’t have had without him. Wildlife Highlights The wildlife sightings were breathtaking: Etosha Pan: I was lucky enough to observe elephants, lions, rhinos, and giraffes. Solitaire: Getting to see cheetahs from such a close distance was a dream come true. Value for Money While the price may seem high at first glance, the quality of the accommodations and the level of service provided make it an excellent value for the money. You truly get what you pay for—and more. Bottom line: I can warmly recommend Kennedy as a guide and would book with Chameleon Safaris again in a heartbeat! .
Highly recommended

5.00I really can't thank everyone at Chameleon enough. This was an absolute trip of a lifetime and I'm already planning to come back. Gregory was an amazing guide - so knowledgeable about history, the landscape and the animals across Namibia. He also recommended that I did the City and Township tour when we returned to Windhoek and Shaka made sure that this was also an excellent trip. Chameleon we're excellent to deal with - really helpful with prompt communication. Would highly recommend
Authentic Namibian experience

5.00I signed up to the six day tour of Namibia, collected by taxi from our hotel and joined another 11 people in a Chameleon tour bus. Etosha safari was a highlight, the Etosha village lodge being a really lovely location. ( would have favoured two nights there rather than the government run lodge in the park tbh). Our driver Anton was so friendly, relaxed, knowledgeable and calm (particularly when our bus limped into the desert camp with an engine fault). It was > 40 degrees and as we had NO AIR CONDITIONING on the bus I was grateful we made it into the camp - with a swimming pool and shower welcoming us. The accommodation chosen by Chameleon was good, the food enjoyable and the extra jeep tours and safari sessions to be recommended. At Solitaire seeing the cheetahs as an unexpected extra tour that was much appreciated. I was grateful that we managed to get the bus engine fixed overnight but did expect the air conditioning problem to be resolved as well. It was a shame it wasn’t. All in all I recommend the tour.
A fantastic experience in the beauty of Namibia !

5.00The experience with Chameleon was excellent. Our guide Anton is a knowledgeable and relaxed guy with a lot of experience. The truck we travelled in was comfortable and good in the terrain and our accommodation was fantastic throughout. Etosha national park, the Skeleton coast and the desert were beautiful and memorable experiences. We ate well throughout the whole trip and Anton was able to give us a lot of information throughout the week on the road. Highly recommend. Chameleon has over thirty years experience and it shows !
Beautiful tour

5.00Beautiful experience. The tour and 'organized very well, our guide Anton' was perfect and efficient, and' also managed to satisfy my desire to see the flamingos even if the stop in Walvis Bay was not scheduled. Namibia brings together both animals in Etosha Park and beautiful desert dunes. Deadvlei is a unique show in the world.
Top notch experience, exceeding expectations.

5.00Very well organised, a lot is packed in the tour but never do you feel it’s to short or to long. We had an a+-lvl guide Gregory who was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and allround great guy. Accommodations, the vehicle we were traveling and all the diners were all great. Also all the other parties on our trip Chameleon worked with super friendly. All in all we had a very good experience and would not doubt going with Chameleon again.
