Amazing experience
The experience was incredible! We took the 5-day desert and coast tour, spending two days in the desert and the other two in Swakopmund. Communication was very efficient, starting from when we first contacted the agency for information about prices and itineraries. Everything was very well organized. Our guide, Berron, was wonderful, with great knowledge of the history, biology, and geology of the areas we visited, explaining everything to us. We learned a lot about Namibia, which is a fantastic country. Both the desert and the coast are amazing! I was expecting a great experience, but it was even better than I had anticipated. On the coast, activities were not included in our package, so we booked the Sandwich Harbour tour separately, which is definitely worth it. We thought the value for money was good, as we didn't have to worry about anything. Accommodations and food included in the package were really nice, and we learned a lot from our guide. If we had opted for self-driving, we probably would have saved some money, but I think contracting the agency was a good decision for a more complete and relaxing experience. The only issue was that the Wi-Fi didn’t work during our entire stay in the desert.

Perfect service
I booked a combined Africa trip starting from Joburg, transfer to Madikwe game reserve, then back to Joburg for a flight to Windhoek and a 3 day Sossusvlei tour. Annelie Vermeulen provided excellent service and also booked our flight to Seychelles. It was very easy to communicate and I got exactly what I asked for. Highly recommended.

everything was perfect
I and my friends had booked a 3-day tour in the desert of Namibia, starting from Windohek. The guide arrived on time, was very professional and helpful, and gave us a lot of very interesting information about the places, game and plants we were passing by. The accomodation was in line with what we expected, even more comfortable, in a nice lodge near Soussvlei. We were provided all the time with water and everything we needed, the tour was exactly ad displayed in the brochure, good value for the money we had paid. Communication before the tour was very quick, exaustive and during the tour our local guide gave us all the information we needed, I would sincerely recommend it to other travelers

Efficient & reliable travel agency for Africa
Though based in South Africa, the agency was able to organize a very good three-day trip of the Sossusvlei area in Namibia for us. Deline of the agency provided prompt follow-up and confirmation. The tour price was reasonable and we were very satisfied with the quality of the tour and accommodation arrangements.

An Excellent Desert Experience
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Namibia Desert tour in December 2023, and it was an unforgettable adventure. The highlight of the tour for me was undoubtedly the Deadvlei, which is truly remarkable and unlike anything I've ever seen. The landscape is otherworldly, with vast stretches of sand dunes that create a surreal and breathtaking panorama.
Our stay at the Namib Naukloft Lodge was equally impressive. The lodge offers excellent value for money, with comfortable accommodations, friendly staff, and delicious meals that perfectly complemented our desert exploration. The serene setting and thoughtful amenities provided a perfect retreat after long days of adventure. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the raw beauty and unique charm of Namibia’s desert landscape.

best tour if you're short on time
Overall the this was more on the expensive side compared to the other tours we did in Africa, we paid extra for a pickup from the airport as well. Obviously there are a few intermediaries involved. The tour itself was good as it included all the key touristy destinations that we wanted to visit given the limited time we were in Namibia. Accommodation was great with all inclusive meals. Communication before the tour was great and reliable. Tour guide was excellent, explained the significance of the places and any questions we had. The safari vehicle was comfortable given the rough roads we had to take and we had plenty of water to keep us hydrated.
