Our Pricing

Our Price-match Promise to you: find a better deal and we'll do our best to beat it. That is all there is to it. No escape clauses, conditions or false promises.

Two very important points to note about the prices on our website:

1. All prices are approximate
2. All prices are in USD per person sharing

Why We Display Rates in USD

Suppliers in Namibia and South Africa charge in South African Rand (ZAR) and suppliers in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the rest of Africa charge in United States Dollars (USD).

To make life easier for you, we automatically convert all our prices on the website to USD using the latest exchange rates. This makes it easy to compare prices of tours and packages in different countries; it also makes it easier to compare our excellent rates with those offered by other websites.

When we make a quote for a tour that visits Namibia and/or South Africa, we quote in ZAR; for a tour that includes Namibia and another country other than South Africa we divide the quote into ZAR and USD according to our supplier contracts. The end result is an accurate quote for you that will use your bank’s exchange rate at the time of processing the invoice.

Using this method ensures the fairest price for you and protects us against fluctuations in currency. With all this in mind, please note the prices on our website are a guideline only, giving you a good indication of what the tour would cost in USD at the current exchange rate.

Our Exchange Rate

We use the latest exchange rates from Google Finance to calculate our website prices. Here is the latest South African Rand (ZAR) to United States Dollar (USD) exchange rate at local Namibia time:

USD 1 = ZAR 14.4384 at 6.00am on Sat, 9 Mar 2019

Please note this spot rate is a guide only. Your issuing bank may offer a different exchange rate at the time of processing the payment and will add transaction and commission fees to the total affecting the final amount you end up paying.

Why We Display Approximate Prices

We display the lowest possible rate based on 2 people traveling for every tour using acceptable standards of accommodation, transportation, activities, services and routes. Except for our scheduled and group tours, there are many options available to you that will affect the final price of a tour. As with displaying our prices in USD, using an approximate starting price makes it quick and easy for you to compare tours on our website.

Factors Affecting the Cost of your Tailor-made or Scheduled Tour

Even our scheduled and group tour packages have seasonal and annual price differences and most of our tour and safari packages are tailor-made to your specific requirements. These are the main factors affecting your final quote:

• The duration of the tour or safari
• The standard and type of accommodation e.g. fully serviced bush camping or five-star safari lodges
• The type of transport used e.g. fly-in safaris or self-drive tours
• Whether it is a guided (escorted) safari or an unguided (independent) tour
• The number of people in your group e.g. larger groups may cost less per person for car hire but more for accommodation
• The time of year you travel (peak season or low season) e.g. our summer is low season
• Additional activities, excursions and services

So Why Use Us?

If our Price-match Promise hasn't convinced you, here are a few more good reasons why it is better to use a local tour operator and why you should book your African holiday through Namibia Tours & Safaris.

• We are located in Namibia and have excellent relations with all of our suppliers in the region. That means you will not get a better deal by booking directly with the lodge or car hire company and in many cases you will pay less if you book through us.
• A hassle-free, one-click booking service where our friendly and experienced consultants provide advice and will book all your accommodation, transport, activities, guides and transfers for you.
• Local knowledge allows us to recommend the best and most efficient routes to avoid costly and unwanted overnight stopovers.
• Membership and backing of the Tours and Safaris Association Namibia (TASA) and the Namibia Tourism Board (NTB).
• Immediate, personal response to emergencies or problems that might occur during your visit.
