The vision of Mangetti Travel
We combine 5+ years of knowledge in the Namibian tourism industry with a deep passion for the wild African Bush
The vision of our team is to enable as many people as possible to get out into the wild and natural beauty of Africa. Away from all the hustle and bustle of daily life, you will experience an extraordinary journey by exploring the vast landscapes and untamed wildlife of Namibia and the neighbouring countries.
How we will support you? We aim to get to know our clients and create the perfect itinerary for your individual needs & dreams. Even though Namibia is the perfect country for self-driving trips due to safety and infrastructure, there are a lot of things you can miss out on or that can go wrong without a knowledgeable partner by your side. No matter if you are looking for a family adventure, photographic safari, recreational nature experience, or excursions off the beaten tracks – we help you create a memorable tour!

Benefit from our expertise with a personalized e-book guide
Everyone has different expectations, interests, and dreams when it comes to Safaris and traveling. See as much as possible, relax at the beautiful lodge, get up early for the best sunrise pictures, or enjoy a recreational travel experience in nature.
We want to get to know you and your specific expectations first so that we can create the perfect journey for you, not a trip of the peg.

This is why we create your personal e-book guide!
Some weeks in advance of your journey, you will receive an e-book guide with detailed information about your route and insider tips for activities & stops that match your interests.
Why we're doing this?
Sharing our passion for Africa with you!
Our love for Africa runs through our veins: Driving through the red sand of the Namib Desert, sleeping under a million stars and viewing the milkyway with your own eyes while hearing laughing Hyenas in the far distance.
Smoothly making your way through the Okavango River on a traditional Mokoro, here and there two eyes glance at you from the riverbanks where Crocodiles get their sunbath and little Hippos balancing on their mums shoulders in the shallow water.
These are the moments that we live for and we want to share them with you! Furthermore, we want to bring as many people into this untamed wilderness, which is hard to find these days. Because what we love, we try to protect.
Wildlife conservation & sustainability
Working with us means supporting Namibia's wildlife
Making a difference is important to us. We’ve pledged to donate 10% of our profits to wildlife conservation of protected species including Hartmans Mountain Zebra, Black Wildebeest, Brown Hyena, Cheetahs and other animals on the Gabus Game Ranch farmlands.
Want to see it with youre own eyes? We can plan youre stay at Gabus Game Ranch, where we are based. You can enjoy your stay at the comfortable lodge and learn more about our work here.
