Specialist of custom-made safaris
Ekipa travel was created to share our passion for travel. Head over heels in love with our home country, Namibia, it is our prime goal to help you discover its wonders.
​
Pulling away from the current model of travel nowadays, we wish to come back to basics, when maps where your mean of orientation and locals your “lonely planet”.
Traveling slowly, taking the time to appreciate and “soak in” the places you discover. It is important to highlight that you will have a personal designer that will be your representative from the moment you contact us, to when you come home. We are a local one-stop shop with no middleman, focusing on personalised service.
With years of local experience in creating and organising safaris, we understand no trip is the same and adapt each safari to your needs.
Everything in Africa bits, but the Safari bug is the worst of all.
