David Botha at Jangwa provided a meticulously crafted itinerary at a very reasonable price. He used his expertise to book a trip which included extras that were not widely known such as the night under the stars. Namibia is an adventure, and where David and Jangwa excelled was in constantly staying in touch with us over WhatsApp and seamlessly adjusting the itinerary when flights got delayed due to weather or transfers went earlier than planned. All lodges and hotels that they booked were very good and we had an amazing experience in Namibia! We highly recommend using this company.

David was amazing, taking care of us every day and making sure everything was perfect for our trip.
Communications with Jangwa were very easy, David was always available to respond to our queries and help us along the way. Service was way above par, the lodges selected were amazing, and the whole trip was very affordable, considering all amenities, car rental, meals and tours included, and the excellent service provided. This trip was a very memorable one, and we would not hesitate to recommend Jangway, and especially David Botha, to anyone travelling to Africa.

Best experience we have had with any travel / tour agent. Exceptional service.
David’s easy communication and willingness to work with us to design the ideal itinerary made him a stand out from the initial enquires I made. Through the process he was thoughtful, responsive, knowledgeable, adaptable and honest with his advice. Our trip was perfect. He had curated the perfect blend of accommodation and activities for an affordable cost, giving us a few additional options for add ons when we arrived - all with pricing so we knew exactly what to expect. The app they use, along with extra tips for what to expect in the various places, was the perfect guide on the road as well as for sharing with family so they knew where we were! He also kept in touch throughout the trip to offer extra help, and we had a surprise visit to put a face to the name when in Swakopmund. We could not fault anything with our trip or with the experience with Jangwa, and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip - David proved they could tailor the experience to any level of assistance or independence desired. We will be repeat customers!

Excellent Tour of Namibia
We had a great experience with Jangwa Tours planning our safari in Namibia. This was our first time in Africa (two women traveling by ourselves), and we were not exactly sure what we were looking for and what to expect :) Johann tailored an amazing itinerary for us, which took us to the most incredible places we didn't even know existed! All the lodges and activities that he had booked for us were top notch! We also appreciated timely responses and support before and during our trip, answering all questions, small or big. We are ecstatic we chose Namibia as our "Africa introduction country", and we are very happy that we used Jangwa Tours and Safaris to help us plan this unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend this tour company! Thank you Johann, we cannot wait to go back to Africa
