Impressive Namibia experience

I went on a desert tour! It was a fun group tour, with people from all over the world, and our guide Simon being very unique and always full of jokes! The desert hike, especially on the second day, was harder than we expected, but it was also spectacular, and the night sky at the campsite was inspiring!

Operator response

Simon’s humor, warmth, and energy truly reflect the Chameleon Safaris spirit, bringing joy and connection to the whole group. It’s wonderful that you embraced the challenge of the desert hike and were rewarded with those spectacular views and the breathtaking night sky. We’re delighted that your adventure highlighted the beauty and magic of Namibia’s deserts. We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable journeys! Jordan-Rohi

Thank you for this experience!

Today I came back from my 3 Day Etosha Budget Camping Safari and I find it hard to put this experience into words. The tour was very good and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Chameleon Safaris is a very reliable and trustworthy travel provider and I felt very comfortable throughout (even as a solo traveler woman). I had the opportunity to enjoy the tour and the many animals to the fullest, as our guide Simon took perfect care of everything. Simon was able to answer our questions well and always stood by us if you needed anything, thank you for that! I would always choose to tour Chameleon Safaris and am very grateful and happy for this experience. A big thank you also goes to Simon, because he has made the tour very nice again with his manner and contributes a lot to this positive review - thank you!

Operator response

Unforgettable safari

My 3-day trip to Etosha National Park with Chameleon Tours was an unforgettable experience! Guide Anton made sure the whole trip went smoothly and exciting, thanks to his extensive knowledge of the park and his enthusiastic personality. From spotting majestic lions to the beautiful herds of elephants passing by, the safari was captivating every minute. Detent was comfortable, and the meals were well taken care of, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The highlight was a spectacular sunset at a waterhole where rhinos and giraffes came together – a truly magical moment! Chameleon Tours ensured a well-organised, safe and adventurous trip, and Anton made it an unforgettable experience with his energy and expertise. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience. Your feedback means a lot to us! Cheers, Macedo😊

Amazing experience with great guides

The trip started off with a busdrive to get to Etosha. On the way to there we saw already some giraffes, warthogs and some springboks. Once we arrived we put up the tent and had some free time while the guide was preparing food. The food was great! It was typical Namibian food and absolutely delicious. We had a safari with an open vehicle so we could have the best experience. The guide made the tour extra good. We had many good talks and he was very kind, thank you Anton! I would recommend chameleon tours to everybody.

Best SAFARI

Our guide Simon was the absolute best and definitely made the experience!!! He had such an amazing attitude and was so lovely we would definitely ask for him to be our guide if we did it again (which we would!). We had the best time and met such amazing people, making the three days go so so fast! Would 100% recommend, such an amazing experience especially for the price!

Best safari experience EVER !!

The best thing I have ever experienced - my group were all incredibly kind, and my tour guide Simon was unbelievably great. We all became a little family over the 3 days I was there. The views were unforgettable, and I will forever cherish the photos I took and the memories I made. Thank you, Simon and Chameleon Safari’s !!!!!

A dream which turned in reality ;)

It was 3 wonderful days spent with Simon our super guide ! Etosha is a very nice place and the camping was super fun (even if I was a bit cold but it was my bad, my sleeping bag wasn’t enough warm). Simon was fun, smiling, nice cooker and looking after us, ready at any time to help us. We saw beautiful animals (but it’s not a zoo so if you go in a National Park you have to be conscious that maybe you won’t see all the animals that you expected ;) Our guides were very good to spot the animals and showing us (+ explanations about it) Thank you so much for this moment !! An award for Simon who supports me during 7h driving, talking with me about everything !

Operator response

Dear Jos, thank you for the great review of Simon and your Chameleon adventure. Etosha is a wonderful and ever changing place where we find the most incredible African animals. It is a must for anyone who likes to be amazed at the abundance and variety that Africa has to offer. Camping is also great fun and a way to re-connect with the earth, but a good sleeping bag and blanket are good friends to have :) Safe travels Jackie
