About
About Epima Tours & Safaris
Epima Tours & Safaris runs guided safaris across Namibia: three tour programmes of eight, eleven or fourteen days, from Sossusvlei and the Atlantic coast to Damaraland, Etosha and the Kalahari — and private tours planned around your own dates.
The company is led by guide Epimakus Hamutenya from Otjiwarongo, in the heart of the country. Every tour comes with a professional guide, a private 4x4 and the logistics taken care of, so the only thing left to do on the road is look out of the window.

What guests say
“Fourteen days and not one of them rushed. Epimakus always seemed to know which waterhole to wait at — and for how long.”
“From the red dunes of Sossusvlei to the leopard at Okonjima, everything was arranged. All we had to do was look out of the window.”
“Our private tour was planned around what we wanted to see, and it showed. The best guide we have had anywhere in Africa.”

Which tour should I choose?
Namibia Top 3 (8 days) covers Sossusvlei, the coast and Etosha. Namibia Safari (11 days) adds Damaraland and a third day in Etosha. The Grand Namibia Safari (14 days) adds the Kalahari and leopard tracking at Okonjima. If none of them fits, Epimakus will plan a private tour around your dates.
How much driving is there?
The full 14-day circuit is about 2,335 km. Most days are three to six hours on the road, and the longer stops have two nights, so there is time to explore.
Where does a tour start and end?
In Windhoek. Airport transfers are included.
Can the route be changed?
Yes. Private tours are planned around your own dates and wishes — ask Epimakus for a proposal.
