Review of Yavola Tours’ Etosha safari, with local guides, open-sided vehicles, wildlife tips, costs, itinerary, and booking advice.

“Oscar with Yavola Tours was a wonderful guide! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and easygoing. We saw cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, springbok, kudu, buffalo, and a variety of birds. If you start from the King Nahale Gate for a half-day tour as our group did, there is no need to pack a lunch, as we had plenty of time to stop at Namutoni Restaurant for a bite.”

“Výlet předražený, jedná se pouze o cca 30 minutový transfer do vesnice a zpět. Vstupné není v ceně a ani nikde není uvedeno, že se platí 300 NAD za osobu. Vesnice a počínání “domodců” vypadá nepřirozeně, spíše jde o divadlo pro turisty”

“A good first overview of Namibia in 6 days. Very good guide who both drove us and told us about the places we visited and about life in Namibia, we had fun together! Good food and very good accommodations. My only objection is that the time in Swakopmund was too short. It's a long distance, so an extra day would have been needed.Auto-translated”
