Only remembering a tiny detail about my childhood and travels, I know I loved nature, as I still do today. Sunrises and sunsets in our country are by far the most spectacular views I have ever seen.

I started working closely with the Tourism Industry in 2017 and in 2020 I started working directly with Tourists. It has been one amazing Industry to work in, as you get to hear everyone’s “Story” on where they come from. Working at Explore Namibia has now given me the platform to share “My story” about our beautiful country.

Only having recently started working at Explore, I am thrilled to be part of such energized and fun-loving team. I am looking forward to be the best I can, to our clients and to my colleagues.

Growing up in Windhoek and spending each holiday at the village was fun and seldom monotonous. I was curious to discover the reason why people kept saying: “Namibia is a top tourism destination.” I wanted to see it for myself and see something different from the everyday goats and cows. My curiosity led me into perusing studies in travel and tourism and now I passionately organize tours and love to interact with people from different walks of life.

Travelling to Namibia is more than just ‘safari’. It’s about the people, the culture, the environment and the history of the country. Explore Namibia gives the entire African Experience.

Hello, my name is Pierre, and I have had the privilege of experiencing diverse cultures throughout my life. Born in South Africa, I have lived in England, the United States, and now call Spain my home. My love for traveling has taken me on numerous self-drive holidays across Europe and the US, allowing me to explore new destinations and create unforgettable memories. Alongside my passion for travel, design, and photography. I also find solace in camping, spending quality time with my family, and indulging in the joy of the favorite South African pastime, barbecuing. In terms of languages, I am fluent in Afrikaans, English, and Spanish. I am excited to be a part of this company, where I can combine my enthusiasm for travel to craft tailor-made travel itineraries for clients, enabling them to embark on unforgettable journeys and explore the best Southern Africa has to offer.

For me personally, doing a road trip is undoubtedly the best way to discover a country!

The freedom of traveling over endless roads with a fully equipped 4WD is incredible. Going for an adventure in the most beautiful wildlife parks and remote areas. Ending the day together around a cozy campfire. Sleeping in a roof tent while hearing the sounds of wild animals in the distance.

For me, this makes Namibia and Botswana the ultimate destination for an adventurous road trip. And a proper dose of good on-the-road music should certainly not be missed.

After having lived and worked for two years at the local Explore Namibia office in Windhoek and organizing trips from the Netherlands after that, I am now back in the old nest again.

I am happy to assist you to organize your personal road trip adventure.

As long as I can remember my parents took me on self-drive safari trips through Africa. Sometimes we slept in lodges, but we also often slept outside, on campsites in roof tents on top of our old Toyota 4×4 Landcruiser. Although it was considered a “normal” holiday, it always felt as a great adventure to me. The sounds of wild animals during the night and sleeping under the millions of stars – that feeling is simply indescribable.

I am still passionate about adventurous camping trips, nature photography and teaching my little daughters the beauty of nature. I speak English, German & Afrikaans and can understand quite a bit of Dutch.

I'm just a guy from a small town in southern Italy, driven by an unyielding wanderlust. Since I was a kid, I've been fortunate to embark on countless adventures, exploring the world and immersing myself in diverse experiences.Through my travels, I discovered the incredible impact of tourism in revitalizing communities. This realization sparked a deep passion within me to share hidden gems and create meaningful connections with fellow travelers.I couldn't be more thrilled to be part of this amazing team! Together, we're dedicated to crafting unforgettable travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary. With fluency in Italian, English, Spanish, and conversational skills in Portuguese and French, I'm ready to connect with travelers from all walks of life.

I was born and raised in the land of the brave – Namibia.

For the first 3-4 years of my life, we lived on a farm. We moved to a little town known as Omaruru. My dad had a business where he drove out to farms and lodges to repair and erect Windmills (Wind Motoren) and drill boreholes.

During school holidays we joined him on his “business” trips enjoying the sights and being taught about the various wild animals, trees, shrubs and bushes and everything about the vast landscapes Namibia has. While camping out in the bush, the star constellations were amazing to see too. Having “farmers blood” running through my veins, travelling through Namibia always fascinates me and it gives a sense of freedom. From the North to the South, from the East to the West, it’s just remarkably amazing. A country where a lot of memories are made and adventures experienced, the knowledge gained that can be passed on to the little ones.

My name is Christina, and I would say that I conquered my biggest, longest, and most emotional journey back in the year 2016. In September of that year, I packed my bags and bid farewell to Germany. After several years of long-distance relationship, I made the decision to follow my husband to his homeland and support him in his work on his farm. Since then, I have taken on various responsibilities and have also worked in different areas outside of the farm. With my work at Explore, I aim to prove to those who are still skeptical about exploring Namibia on their own that it is definitely worth the trip and it will captivate everyone. In my free time, I love baking bread, preparing typical specialties like Biltong and dried sausages, and at the end of the day, a classic game drive is a must.

In 2017 I traveled together with my husband for the first time in our lives to Namibia. We were supposed to go only once, but I fell completely in love with this beautiful country, the friendly people, the wild animals, the landscapes and the magical starry sky. The sense of adventure you can experience in Southern Africa is unlike anywhere else in the world! In the meantime, I have been to Namibia and Botswana several times and I will certainly go to Africa many more times. There is so much to discover. To be able to share this passion and experiences with our customers is absolutely fantastic! I look forward to helping you experience an equally unforgettable journey.

My passion for travel has been a driving force in my life. Having spent eight years living in Germany, I was fortunate enough to explore various European destinations and gain invaluable experience in the world of travel. Namibia, with its diverse landscapes, rich wildlife and vibrant cultures, offers an unparalleled holiday experience. As your personal holiday planner, I understand that each traveler is unique, with different preferences and interests, I am therefore committed to curating personalized itineraries tailored to your desires. Rest assured, I will provide you with genuine enthusiasm and a keen attention to detail! I will be able to help you in Spanish, German, English and if I try... Also in French 😉 I can't wait to be a part of your travel story and help you make lasting memories in this extraordinary country!

All in all, it took us about 20 years to finally make our dream trip to Namibia. For so long, my husband and I had been dreaming of this adventurous destination, after having previously doing a camping safari through Botswana. At that time, as I was pregnant of our son, we decided to postpone the trip. But eventually in 2022, after yet another couple of postponements due to COVID-19, the time had finally come. As previous clients, we had already attended Explore Namibia's information day for a couple of times and thus we became quite familiar with this beautiful organization. Until 2023, I worked as a management / executive assistant, but after more than 25 years in the business, I felt it was time to do something different. When, shortly before our departure to Namibia, I saw a vacancy at Explore Namibia, in which they were asking for a support worker for the Haarlem office with the opportunity to learn the trade as a tour consultant, I decided to respond. And to my great joy, I was hired and immediately after that, my husband and I made our trip to Namibia where I met my colleagues in Windhoek! That was a perfect combination of ``the useful with the pleasant``. I have now been employed since 1 December 2022 and am learning every day.
I have always had an affinity for travelling and have had the opportunity to visit many destinations. That I have now been given the opportunity to make my hobby my job was a dream come true for me!

Back in high school I used to help my aunty at her guesthouse every holiday as a receptionist and a housekeeper and that’s where all started, I gained lots of passion in working with international and local clients and after high school I decided to study hospitality and tourism and I happened to find my way into Explore Africa Travel.
To have been born here, to grow up so close to the Namibian veld, with easy access to this country’s great environmental wealth is a gift.
This country presents thrilling destinations for all types of travelers ; to be immersed deeply in its cultural and social complexity; to witness the transition from oppressive external rule to freedom and blossoming of a new nation, experience the wonders of Namibia, Botswana, and the Victoria fall in comfort.
It is always dangerous to build up a holiday in your mind as it is so rare that it lives up to all your hopes and expectations. Well, worry not. Explore Africa Travel is here to help plan your journey. And don’t forget: WHAT IS WORTH DOING IS WORTH DOING WELL.

After living in several countries, I have noticed how much I have learned and continue to learn from traveling, apart from the fact that I really enjoy it. I love acquiring new knowledge as well as new personal and professional skills and what better way than by exploring and being on new adventures.I think sharing this with more people is super fun and really fills my soul. I am delighted to help you with your next experience, and I hope all your memories are beautiful and fill your soul too 😉

I am passionate about assisting travelers from all over the world with planning their own journey and to provide them with all kinds of information about Namibia and Botswana which are both the most special and amazing countries.

I go with the quote that says, “Do not let others tell you how amazing the world is, see it for yourself”. It is better to see something for yourself than to hear about it a thousand times from others.

Tourism is in the heart of most Namibians and so central to what makes Namibia a unique destination. It plays a central role in the economy of Namibia, including the spin-off effects on other industries, so I am glad to have finally landed up at Explore Namibia. As a former scout and outdoor archery range owner, as well as camping enthusiast, I could not be happier.

When you pursue a career in the Travel Industry, you get to network with a lot of people with various cultures and personalities. I am a traveler myself and working in the travel industry made me a better one. There are challenges, like every type of work, but at the end of the day it’s providing the best experience we can to ensure our customers leave happy. I love learning about new places, meeting people from all walks of life and trying out local cuisine. I find that traveling helps broaden my perspective of life and gives me a greater appreciation for what I have at home.

Growing up in a Child Care Facility was an adventure on its own. We were given the opportunity to visit places around Namibia such as Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Etosha Game Resort, Tsumeb and the northern part of the country. Being outdoors can be scary yet very fun. The best part of it was setting up camp, camping under the open skies. It required extensive planning and preparation to be sure that you have everything in place to make your stay as comfortable as possible. In my current role as a Reservation agent, planning and organizing is part of my passion, this in a nutshell excites me to plan your adventurous trip @ Explore Namibia.

Live your life by compass, not a clock.

Growing up amidst the awe-inspiring scenery and vibrant culture of Namibia, I developed a deep appreciation for the country's diverse heritage. My love for the tourism industry began as I witnessed the transformative power of travel in connecting people with extraordinary experiences. With a background rooted in the heart of Namibia , I'm dedicated to sharing the magic of my homeland with visitors from around the globe.

Namibia, the land of the brave, my country, my pride. From the beautiful landscapes to the breathtaking sea views.
I never had the opportunity to travel growing up, however, now that I can and am able to I WILL NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED!

Some Namibians always feel the need to travel overseas or to other beautiful African countries, but they never think to start from within.

Our country is beautiful, its home to worlds oldest desert, Damaraland with its beautiful rock engravings in Twyfelfontein and has the worlds second largest canyon in the WORLD, just to name a few.
So in my opinion, start here, in Namibia and experience what our beautiful country has to offer.
A quote I will live by when travelling and I want you to do the same, is one from Helen Keller, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”

Hi, my name is Gordon, like the gin, just not from England, rather Namibia. Born in the Capital city and raised in a small town known as Rehoboth also referred to as ``Basterland``. Tourism plays a pivotal role in the country's economy, so I have always encountered tourists in by daily life. It is a fun industry to work in as you get to interact with people from all over in a social setting. I got a privilege to join the team as the accounts receivables bookkeeper. I look forward to a long and prosperous career.

Millions of bright stars at night, a cozy BBQ campfire in the middle of nature, the sights of free-roaming wildlife and breathtaking landscapes with endless horizons. In a search for adventure and ultimate freedom, these elements made me fall in love with Africa.

And until today, I realize that Elise and I have been very fortunate being able to make our dreams come true, something that I will be grateful for the rest of my life.

Namibia is a land of contrast, full of natural wonders and cultural diversity: a perfect place for a multi-cultural soul to fit right in! I’m not an “original” Namibian, growing up in the country has left an unerasable Africa-shaped mark on my heart, and I’m hoping to help as many others as possible discover this wonderful country and continent for themselves.

There’s something awe-inspiring about the solitude of wide-open and untouched nature of Namibia which you can’t explain, it just has to be experienced!

As a child, a family safari was always a huge adventure – to discover new destinations, setting up camp, unearthing unknown plants and spotting animals. Still today, I enjoy a family holiday in our beautiful Namibia and learn new features of our country with every single trip or excursion.

I love to assist others with planning their own self-drive experience and consider it a real privilege to see that special twinkle and new knowledge in their eyes upon returning. There is simply no better escape from our busy life than spending time in nature.
