INFORMATION
Accommodation
All accommodations have been carefully selected and checked by our team. They offer a wide range of experiences, from simple, family-run, typical local establishments to luxurious, relaxing accommodation. Everywhere you will enjoy a warm welcome and all rooms have an en-suite bathroom with shower and air conditioning where necessary. Meals also vary, from simple picnics and traditional 'braais' (barbecues) to elegant beach restaurants.
 
Travel
The routes in Namibia are long. The roads are generally in good condition, but some are not paved. Our trips also take us through areas that are less developed for tourism, offering a unique insight into an unknown Namibia. This means that the infrastructure is not always up to the usual standard (for example, there are no conventional toilets on certain trips). 
 
Guides
The Povanhu team, with German-speaking experts, local experts on site and an experienced driver, will accompany you throughout the trip and will be happy to take care of your concerns. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
