Our story

Furaha Tours & Safaris was born from a genuine love for Namibia and a simple belief: this land of vast horizons is best discovered with a team that knows it from within, in English, and without rushing.

Based in Windhoek, the agency was built around a clear observation: very few local English-speaking structures support travelers on this destination. Its name — Furaha, which means "joy" in Swahili — sums up an intention: to make each itinerary a memorable moment, designed for those who experience it. Over the years, the team has developed deep knowledge of the Namib desert, the trails of Damaraland, the plains of Etosha and the communities that inhabit these territories.

Delphin, founder of the agency, has been guiding travelers in southern Africa for over fifteen years. Alongside him, an English-speaking Namibian team designs each tailor-made itinerary with careful attention to encounters with local communities and the customs of the country's different ethnic groups. The agency is also actively committed to more sustainable tourism: reducing plastic on trips, providing reusable water bottles, using energy-efficient lighting, and recycling equipment for local schools.

Here, we don't replicate programs. We craft journeys that reflect who you are.

Furaha Tours & Safaris is a member of the Nomadays collective. This partnership allows you to benefit from direct organization with a local team based in Windhoek, while enjoying secure booking in France: payment in euros, protection of deposited funds, APST guarantee and compliance with French tourism law. You thus benefit from the best of both worlds: the proximity of a team on the ground and the strength of a protective legal framework.

Namibia is not a country you visit in a hurry. Here, distances, silence and light are an integral part of the journey.

Plan ideally 2 to 3 months before departure during peak seasons (hotels and guides are scarcer), 1 month is enough for quieter seasons. For last-minute departures, get in touch with us: we'll honestly tell you if we can put together a quality trip within the timeframe.

Yes, 7 days a week throughout your stay. You'll receive a local WhatsApp number + a dedicated emergency contact. Our on-site team can assist within hours in case of unexpected events (cancelled flight, illness, weather changes).

Your payments are 100% protected by the Professional Solidarity Association for Tourism. If a service provider (hotel, transport, etc.) or the agency fails, your funds are refunded. This is a mandatory guarantee for any French travel agency — Nomadays benefits from it across its entire network.

Yes, as much as possible. Changes made more than 30 days before departure are generally free of charge (excluding hotel rate differences). As your departure approaches, some bookings become less flexible — we always inform you of your options before confirmation.
