We decided to do the 8-day trip across Namibia with Across Africa Tours, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was very well organised, and we had such a great time exploring this incredible country. Across Africa Tours was always responsive and took all our questions and concerns seriously. We also decided to make a few upgrades to our trip, and we were happy with it. A special shout-out to our guide Lukas (and Shaun that occasionally met us with another group along the way) who made the trip even better! Lukas was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and he organised our time very well. Thanks to him, we were able to make the most of every day and truly enjoy the experience. Namibia itself is absolutely incredible. We loved seeing the variety of landscapes, from the desert and dunes to the beautiful Etohsa and all the animals. We recommend this trip and Across Africa Tours to anyone who wants to discover the highlights of Namibia. It was a great experience!Show more
