Well managed tour
5/5

3 Days - Windhoek- Sossusvlei - Windhoek Camping Guided Safari

It was well managed 3days tour for Dune 45, Big daddy, Deadvlei Sossusvlei, and Sandwich harbour.

Guide:
Fanuel had enough skills and experiences for this tour. He knows well about persons around the camp site of the park and it’s restaurant and thus he is reliable. He is friendly to everyone and willing to help with other travelers as well. I respect his attitude.

Drive:
Total driving distance of this tour was over 1,000km. And around 40% of them are gravel roads. You need to be prepared for them. But Fanuel’s drive was good because he drove safely and not too much speed. I was very comfortable with it.

Scenic points:
Sun set at Dune 45, Sunrise at Big daddy and view of sandwich harbor were magnificent. These are like another planet. Fanuel knew well about the timing of each points to go and thus I could smoothly see them without troubles. For example, if you see sunrise at Big daddy or Dune 45, you need to be in front of the gate at the time of gate open. To do this, you have to stay lodges or camp site inside the park. You also need 4x4 car. Fanuel well prepared for them on behalf of me, which was very convenient for me.

Camp site:
Although the tour was just me and the guide of Fanuel, he prepared tents for each other separately and I could stay there comfortably. I expected the night time was freezing cold but it was okay for me. I could sleep well without problems. We had dinner at the restaurant/bar of the camp site and the food was actually very good.

Overall:
I will definitely recommend this tour for the person who wants to view scenic points smoothly without stress.

Preparing for the tour
It’s better to bring followings with you.
•Small torch : to use inside the tent
•Camera which can take photos of stars: Stars at camp site is very beautiful. But smartphones cannot take photos of them.
•Small spoon: the breakfast prepared by the restaurant includes a cup of yogurt but not a spoon…

If you can fry in or out from Walvis bay airport instead of Windhoek, choose these flights since there are a few things to do in Windhoek.

This trip was incredible. After 3 months traveling through Africa, nothing beats the sites of Namibia. Out of this world! First class service too. Unlike many transactional companies, this one truly cares you have a great experience. Highly recommend!

Reliable agent
5/5

Due to the limited time of my stay in Namibia, I wanted to join a tour organized by travel agents. But unfortunately I couldn’t find any which departs on the day I wish.

But this agent arranged a private tour on the last minute and accommodated my requests at the reasonable price.

The tour was great, the guide was nice and I really enjoyed my Namib desert tour.

4/5

Our guide Luke was a caring and easygoing person.He tried his best to provid us an unforgettable experience in Namibia. Safari in Etosha ,visiting the human village ,the rock drawing in damaraland,the galaxy sky in spitzkoope. Stay close with wild sea animals in Swakopmund ,The beauty of nature in Deadvlei and sandwich harbour did impress us.Luke also brought us to some traditional market n restaurant so that we can experience the authentic food in Namibia. We love all the arrangement and enjoy the whole trip so much.

Reliable
4/5

We had a wonderful trip in Namibia, experiencing spectacular landscapes, fun activities, cultural immersion, and an amazing safari. What truly mattered to us was the perfect pace of the trip. At no point did we feel rushed, yet we had plenty of time to explore. All of this was made possible thanks to the capable hands of our guide, Phelep, and his trusted assistant. Phelep’s deep local knowledge, excellent command of English, and constant attention to our safety made the experience even more enjoyable. We have no hesitation in recommending Phelep and People’s Tour & Safari.

Professional and very friendly
4/5

The whole experience was very enjoyable. Berlinda was great to liaise with in regards to planning, and our driver Sacky went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and at ease. Both Berlinda and Sacky are lovely people!

We saw some amazing wildlife (but no big cats!), and landscapes.

Most lodges we stayed in were very nice e and comfy; however, it was extremely difficult to get gluten free food for my celiac niece, especially at the start of the journey. It did get better towards the end, though.

Overall, the trip was fantastic and highly recommended!

It’s safe for me to travel with my guide.
3/5

I think my guide is average.
It’s my second time doing safari in Africa.
I paid quite a lot for a private tour this time as the designated dates and duration of group tour are quite hard to match my own schedule. But I feel a bit disappointed as I didn’t get better service than last time. I feel safe to be with my guide. But he definitely needs rooms of improvement for photo taking skills as the photos are often tilted for no reason.
Also my guide always asked me to help him take photos in my phone and then send him back. I think it’s an inappropriate action. It’s like a few times per day but not one or two times. I sometimes feel a bit annoyed about it as I’m not supposed to be his photographer. I’m the one who paid!
