Hello Enrique Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your recent 10-day tour across Namibia with us. We are thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic experience and that our team was able to provide you with timely and clear information before your trip. We are glad to hear that you found the Ford Ranger car to be comfortable and spacious and that the lodges selected were all very nice. We appreciate your mention of Rolencia, our guide, who went above and beyond to ensure that you had an easy and comfortable trip. We are happy to hear that her knowledge of Etosha Park proved to be helpful in seeing as much wildlife as possible and that she engaged you in interesting conversations about the country. We are sorry to hear that the proposed accommodation in Halali unfortunately did not meet your expectations, but we are grateful for your suggestion to consider Namutoni instead. Regarding wildlife sightings near these camps, it changes seasonally, so during various seasons it may be Halali featuring more sightings. Thank you for recommending our agency and Rolencia as a guide to others looking to travel to Namibia. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on another adventure soon! Best regards, Philip

Good day jpFou Your wonderful review came as such a surprise! On behalf of our team, guide and office, thank you! Our ten-day tour across Namibia was created for Guests who may have limited time for their Namibian adventure, but at the same time won't miss-out any major attractions and destinations, and will have broad understanding and experience of our stunning country. I sincerely appreciate your comments: 'everything was perfect' and 'reliable tour operator'. Even more so, I appreciate you as pleasant, engaged and grateful Guests, who travel to genuinely experience new ancient cultures, new desert lands, new far-stretched views and horizons, new but tasty food and simply enjoy being with new people, as part of their journey - AND return home wonderfully enriched! Your kind appraisal for our guide was well-received and I will communicate it to him. Thank you for traveling with us! Warmest regards, Philip

Dear Hughes and Dominique, It's time and again just how wonderful is to receive a review which summarizes our Guests experiences as 'one of our best travel memories'! Thank you for taking the time to share and most of all thank you for traveling with us! I made sure to forward your kind words to Rambo, hope it will inspire him further on in his guiding profession. Good guide is a vital part of each tour. Just like this fitting quote from one of the travel blogs: 'Tour guides are often an essential component of a great trip. They can be a wealth of information and a valuable resource when learning about a new destination. A quality tour guide should show accurate and significant knowledge while providing an engaging experience for guests.' All the best, happy and safe travels, With sunny cheers, Philip

Dear Hanna S Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us as well as with greater family of global travelers! We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to do so. I totally agree with you that having an experienced guide on tour, such as Rambo, makes so much of a difference in overall travel experience - and I am sure it was especially important to you on your first safari! To be completely honest with you it's in fact the guides who can either 'make it or brake it' on tour and who are able to greatly contribute to our Clients memorable journeys. Thankfully at Wild Wind, we are working with friendly, knowledgeable, polite and experienced guides, who enjoy their guiding and look after and care for each Guest. As the Namibian tour operator, we adhere to covid protocols, to ensure our Clients safety, comfort, hygiene and ease of travel, and I truly appreciate you mentioning it in your review. You are very welcome to contact me any time best suitable for you, should you have your next African safari in mind - we are here to assist you! All our returnee Guests are a true compliment to our entire team! With warmest regards Philip

Dear gracec1757 It was my great pleasure to travel with you and to introduce you to the wonders of Namibia! I am happy to hear that you and family have enjoyed your tour, had lots of fun and memorable experiences - this was our goal, to create an unforgettable journey for you and I guess, as a team-effort we have accomplished it. This includes your eager and wonderful participation. I made sure David read and received your appreciation - he is glad all went great on your tour. Thank you for your commendation for our company and our efforts - it is received with gratitude and smile :-) Kind regards and hope to see you back in Namibia. Philip

Dear noahr211 Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experiences while on tour with us. Just the title of your review 'Amazing ten days' already sounds great! And then is followed by so many positively-sounding descriptions: 'excellent', 'great', 'incredibly smoothly', 'no hiccups', ' awesome', 'incredible dishes', 'never felt like it was a (camping) budget tour', ' treated to luxury tent', 'care', 'I enjoyed...immensely' - not to copy your entire enthusiastic review! How fantastic is to read it and pass it on to our team. This is precisely - in your own words - wrapped up what we are here for: to 'truly care about our Customers and their experiences'. Thanks for traveling with us and hope to see you again! Sunny cheers Philip

Dear Maheen S Thank you very much for kind review and appraisal for our team! Much appreciated and well-received. It always inspires us to hear from our Guests, especially from the 'first time' visitors to Africa (or Namibia) - it just works wonderfully refreshing, like a glass of bubbly Champagne in the desert! Thank you for sharing your experiences, observations and 'wow' moments. We're sure it will be helpful to global travelers who are planning their trip to Namibia, but maybe are still little hesitant to 'go to Africa'. Our guides will make sure to look well after each Guest and convey interesting input throughout the tour, to ensure it's an enriching journey. I sincerely appreciate your note regarding 'dietary requirements' - this is very important to us. On each booking form Guests are requested to include their special requirements, and we have indeed received yours. I sincerely apologize if some lodges or restaurants very not fully prepared to cater for these specific needs. Before your tour's departure we have notified all lodges of your 'dietary requirements', so I am truly not sure why it was not respected? May I please ask you to send me a private email with places which did not cater sufficiently, I would like to communicate with each one and double-check regarding their preparedness to care for Guests with special 'dietary requirements'. While our Guests are already on tour our Whats App or email lines remain accessible and our Guests are very welcome to communicate their concerns or remind us of their requests, should Guests feel anything is somewhat missing during their journey. If I may also kindly suggest for your future travels to do just that: immediately revert back to your tour provider, guide, operator, lodge or restaurant to ensure your 'dietary requirements' are provided satisfactorily. Wishing you wonderful and safe travels. Thank you for traveling with us! Kind regards Philip

Thank you 929kate_inaj for your to-the-point feedback - we appreciate you taking the time to share it with greater family of global travelers who research reviews and other travelers options before embarking on their own holiday. Your kind words of commendation were forwarded to the entire team! Thank you for traveling with us! Best regards Philip

Bonjour Jacques, comment allez-vous? Thank you for taking the time to review us on Trip Advisor, Martha sends special thank you as well - I also sincerely appreciate your personal words of appraisal! It was great to travel with you and together visit (and for me to discover anew) so many fascinating places all-over Namibia. It was a very diversified experience and to read that you had a 'wonderful 13 days with us' is a reward in itself! So much attractions was indeed packed just in two weeks. Again, thank you for booking and traveling with us! You are more than welcome to contact me or Martha should you need any assistance in the future - all our returnee Guests do not need to book in advance, but have already palace reserved, just waiting for them! A bientôt, j'espère! Best regards, Philip

Dear Michel and Milton, I have read your review at least three times and cannot find words adequate to say thank you for wonderful wonderful words and appreciation. It was a pleasure having you 'on board' and sharing together a quite packed 16 days together! To hear from you that it was a 'marvelous experience', tour operator 'the best of the best' - simply warms my heart! Your mention about pages and pages of adventures and stories... - I'm sure will be many, I'm also thinking about so many pictures and memories that will continue to be shared and will linger on forever! So glad to hear that you have enjoyed your tour, including 'places we stayed, the food, the comradery, the green of the landscape (the rains had come and everything was vivid green), the desert in bloom...' and stories we shared! I'm already awaiting to welcome you BACK IN AFRICA! With warm regards, Philip “All I wanted to do was get back to Africa. We had not left it, yet, but when I would wake in the night I would lie, listening, homesick for it already...' ― Ernest Hemingway, Green Hills of Africa
