Traveler's Experience in Namibia

For over 15 years, Yves has been traveling with his partner all around the world through local travel agencies. For their last trip, they went to Namibia for two weeks. A trip they meticulously planned with local experts.
An experience he shares with us.

You went to Namibia, can you tell us why you chose this destination and what did you prefer?

We chose Namibia because it is still a relatively unknown destination, which seems to us to have the most beautiful landscapes on the planet: deserts, dunes, and wildlife reserves... However, it is quite difficult for me to tell you what we preferred, as we enjoyed each day of our trip so much.

The Hardop region and the Namib Desert, known to be the oldest desert in the world, left a lasting impression on us. We were truly blown away by these incredible landscapes and their famous red dunes. Our favorite moment: walking along the very narrow ridge line to then discover an incredible view over this salty plain with its countless dead trees that have dried up over time... (trees that are said to be up to 800 years old!).

The Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world after the American Grand Canyon, impressed us. The view is simply spectacular.

In Etosha National Park, we observed nocturnal wildlife around the King Nehale Waterhole. It was striking to see the animals at night where the sounds accentuate the very, very wild side!

How do you choose your trips?

We have gotten into the habit of traveling only with local agencies. We target the countries we want to visit, then we look for local agencies with whom we prepare a specific program for our stay.

For our trip to Namibia, we were in contact with several local agencies that we found on the internet. We wanted to receive other proposals. That's why we continued our research and discovered Quotatrip.com. The site allowed us to connect with two agencies simultaneously. Very quickly, the agencies proposed by the platform stood out.
We decided to choose the most responsive one and offering the best value for money.
In the end, the service was excellent and in line with the program we had established.

What are your next travel plans?

There are so many countries we would like to discover! But, I think the next one on our list will be Japan. A destination that attracts us for its culture, cuisine, and aesthetics... very far from Namibia.
