About us
We offer tailor-made & authentic safaris through Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe – with a focus on what truly matters to you.
About Mangetti Safaris
Your Namibian-based travel agency - here to plan safaris that truly match your interests and dreams.
Mangetti Safaris is a family-owned tour operator based in Namibia, offering mindfully designed, private guided and self-drive tours across Namibia, Botswana, and Victoria Falls.
We help you explore Southern Africa at your own pace – with itineraries that reflect your specific interests, needs and dreams. Namibia and Botswana are fantastic self-drive destinations, but without local knowledge, it is easy to miss hidden gems or get caught up in logistics.
With our local and extensive experience, we plan realistic, safe, and exciting routes – and support you throughout your journey.
If you are looking for a fully exclusive service, we also offer privately guided tours with knowledgeable German- and English-speaking guides.
We take time to understand your expectations and preferences, whether you are looking for a family safari, a wild down-to-earth adventure, a luxury honeymoon or a photographic tour. We have you covered!
Let us take out the stress of travel planning – so you can focus on the experience!
We work from nature
A travel agency in the wilderness of Namibia
Our travel agency operates as an extension of the Gabus Safari Lodge. Unlike most travel agencies in Namibia, who are often based in the cities of Windhoek or Swakopmund, our office is based in the middle of the wilderness.
Having been an integral part of Namibia’s tourism industry since 1995, we bring years of experience in the industry and passion towards crafting your safari adventure in Namibia and Botswana to perfection.

Why we're doing this?
Sharing our passion for Africa with you!
Africa is where we grew up or actively chose as our home – and we believe that travelling here, heading on safari and seeing the wide-open landscapes, is something everyone should at least experience once in their life. Maybe it is a bit poetic, but Ernest Hemingway was right when he said, ” I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up and was not happy.”.
We do not just book lodges or build itineraries. We want you to feel the happiness in Africa – the early morning light, the dust in the air, the excitement when an elephant crosses your path. And from our point of view, just ticking off boxes and highlights can be a nice journey, but you might miss a lot along the way. That is why we do what we do – creating a personal, authentic and unforgettable journey. Not rushed, not commercial, not ticking-off highlights – because you need time to explore the true magic.
