What people love about Namibia Tours from Cape Town
- Cape and Namibia Adventure
Fantastic scenery, great tour leader and nice mix of travellers from around the world. The negatives for me were early morning starts and camping in the heat.
- 11-day Cape Town to Namibia (Camping)
This tour was amazing from start to finish. Elton and Davies were excellent guides and always had smiles on their faces. I'd definitely recommend Acacia, and Elton and Davies to others!
- Cape & Dunes Northbound: Wildlife & Starry Night Skies
I had a fantastic time on my tour. Prince and Wellington were brilliant CEO's ensuring we all had a great time. The food was brilliant and Prince always ensured I had gluten free meals and another girl always had a veggie option. Wellington was a brilliant driver and always ensuring the Lando was taken care of and stayed calm when there were any technical issues. Both CEO's were full of useful information, Welly knew lots about animals which was great in Etosha. There was a lot of driving but the CEO's ensured we had regular comfort and photo breaks. At times there was no water at the camp sites but the CEO's tried to get this sorted for us. I really like the Lando and am glad we had this vehicle and not one like other tours such as Intripid. I ended the tour in Windhoek, it may have been useful to have a full day in Windhoek to allow for sightseeing and to give the CEO's time to prepare for the next leg of the trip and sort out any issues - for example Lando problems. I will definatly look to travel with G adventures in Africa again and would be more then happy to have Prince and Welly as my CEO's. I would recommend the tour to people.
