Established in 1995 by Jackie Burton, after many years backpacking in Asia and from Cairo to Cape Town, it seemed a natural decision to share my love for Namibia, it’s people and the amazing animals, with others. Being fascinated by chameleons and having had some very close encounters whilst backpacking, it was a natural step to name the company after my favourite animal. Joined in 2000 by Bossie Coetzer, who had backpacked through America, Europe and Southern Africa, we made a formidable team and started our crazy adventure together. Through the years we have recruited and trained many Namibians into this wonderful industry as well as made some amazing friends from around the world. Our focus early on was to support local Namibian communities to ensure that the tourism dollar reached the rural areas as all Namibians should benefit, as well as introduce our guests to genuine characters in “off the beaten track” places. This meant we had to move from minibuses to 4×4 vehicles to enable us to reach some of the lesser-known areas.
In 2001 when the world was shocked by the destruction of the twin towers, we believed that no-one would ever want to travel in a plane again. We were so wrong, as that terrible event triggered the biggest increase in tourism numbers to our beautiful country. The focus was again on recruiting and training young Namibians into a dynamic and growing industry and developing new and sought after experiences for our new visitors. The next event that brought us to our knees was the Global Financial Crisis in 2010, we had to nip and tuck our expenses and ride out the storm until the tourist numbers started to increase again. If you are reading this you will know that nothing will ever prepare us or you, for a Pandemic of the proportions we have seen with Covid-19. Within 3 weeks of the Namibian Government decision to close our borders we saw thousands of people leave the country and go home.
Our beautiful country was empty, the streets were quiet and our staff had to stay at home. As restrictions gradually eased we embarked on a mission to survive, to keep as many staff employed as possible, to train our guides in new areas, to develop new and exciting safaris for when the world re-awakens and people start to travel again. Like my favourite animal, we are survivors, we are adapting, like we had in the past, and we are looking forward to welcoming you all back on a safari in Namibia.
Come and join us on a Chameleon Safaris adventure of a lifetime in Namibia.

SAFARI
Namibia is a land of contrasts and this scheduled 12-day camping safari is perfectly designed to take in nearly all of them. Starting in Windhoek and heading out on the Northern leg of our odyssey, our winding road takes us to visit the cheetah of Africat at Okonjima, the big game in the iconic Etosha National Park and includes the privilege of night-time viewing at the world-famous Okaukuejo waterhole. We meet and engage with the Himba Tribespeople and travel over mountain passes with exotic and beautiful views.
On the southern leg we spend time in the rugged and forbidding Skeleton Coast National Park, visit 100,000 seals at Cape Cross and take in a shipwreck on our way to the slightly bizarre holiday town of Swakopmund. Here we can shake out a little of the dust and enjoy a hotel bed, great restaurants and many exciting excursions.
We cross the Tropic of Capricorn on our way to visit the world’s highest sand dunes in the world’s oldest desert at Sesriem & Sossusvlei. We see the crumbling yet beautiful and historic architecture in Luderitz, and we learn about the desert diamonds and visit the eery diamond ghost town at Kolmanskop. The awe inspiring Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon on planet earth awaits us and last but not least, we visit the unusual and ancient quiver trees and the even more ancient Giants Playground.
