A dedicated local travel team in Namibia that offer local expertise and an authentic experience!

I stumbled across Gazechase Travels through a friend and must say that I am very pleased with the entire experience. It's so lovely that you get insight from locals who know the country in and out. Communication went smoothly and Gazechase Travels is very reliable. Hiking the dunes and Etosha National Park were my highlights, such a beautiful country! I will be back next year, can only recommend!

Professional, passionate, and truly dedicated — Chazegaze turns every trip into a perfectly organize

Our trip with Chazegaze was unforgettable! I still can’t believe they organized our 18-day Namibia adventure in just three days — everything was perfect from start to finish. We saw it all: dunes, desert, ocean, rivers, and mountains. The game drives in Waterberg Plateau and Mount Etjo were truly magical — wild, remote, and full of life. Oliver was always there for us, day and night, so kind, quick to respond, and always finding solutions with a smile. Thanks to Chazegaze, we discovered the real, wild heart of Namibia. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Quick action and exceptionally well organised

Due to unforeseen circumstances my original travels within Europe were cancelled. I decided I did not want to give up and stay at home during December holidays. I phoned Gazechase Travels very last minute and asked if they can save my vacation and organise a trip through Namibia. They did not disappoint at all. Within a day, I received a well thought-out itinerary with all activities, accommodation, the routes between locations on a map and a quote on this whole trip. They are fast-paced and assisted me quickly even though I called during the weekend. Arriving in Namibia we were picked up from the airport with a warm welcome from the founder who decided to greet us personally at the airport. It was nice to meet the person behind all the arrangements who saved my vacation. During the whole trip everything was well organized, they always answered the phone when I asked a question, they frequently checked in to ensure we were satisfied with the services. The accommodation booked is breathtaking and super relaxing. We got to see so many wild animals in Etosha. We went on safari rides and got to experience leopards, lions and all the wonderful animals. They also last minute arranged a cat feeding activity for us which was memorable. The sand dunes of Sossusvlei is a sight to remember. And so many more experiences I will remember. Namibia is really a bucket list place and I am so thankful to Gazechase Travels for saving my vacation and ensuring I could experience Namibia. Definitely a dream to remember.
