Tokkies Travel is a fantastic tour operator!

We had a fantastic time in Namibia. We had some special demands: we want to met local people who can interview. We want to have real authentic meetings with the San Bushmen and the Himba. Tokkies Travel arranged all this meetings, because they have a lot of contacts. Communications was very good, very friendly. They arranged everything we want and ask (if it is in their possibilities ofcourse). We felt very welcome and Mare-Lize became a friend of us!!!

Excellent tour operator with client-focused service

We are a Belgian family of 2 adults and 3 children and we worked with Tokkies Travel and Tourism to organize a 3 week round trip in Namibia in August 2025. Tokkies Travel and Tourism demonstrated an excellent standard of service, placing a strong emphasis on meeting our specific needs which were maximizing the safari experiences, comfortable cottages mixed with camping experience and also enough time for relaxation between activities. We had regular check ins in advance and worked our way through several proposals before concluding. Tokkies Travel and Tourism arranged the rental car and booked all cottages and also assisted with proposing flights. Tokkies Travel and Tourism also provided tips for activities at the different locations customized to our interest. Upon arrival in Windhoek we also had a face to face check in to go over the do's and dont's and also received a detailed travel overview with gps instructions on how to drive to the different cottages and where to fuel the car. In Swakudmund there was a second face to face check in to assess how our trip was going. During the trip Tokkies Travel and Tourism was also available to respond quickly to our questions. So overall a fantastic experience!
