Sossusvlei Tours & Trips
Picture Namibia's most iconic landscape — Sossusvlei's towering red dunes. You're climbing Dune 45 before sunrise (the light on red sand is unreal), exploring Deadvlei with dead trees against orange dunes and blue sky, visiting Sesriem Canyon. The dunes are massive, with some over 300 meters, and the colors shift throughout the day. It’s hot, dry, and one of those landscapes that photos can't quite capture properly.

We booked this trip with Across Africa Tours and Travels at the last minute as the agency we had previously booked with had gone bankrupt. I was very anxious because we had lost a lot of money but the team at Across Africa Tours and Travels went above and beyond to ensure we had all the information we needed at all times. In particular, Megan was really nice and caring and always answered my questions quickly and in full. Our guide in Namibia, Shawn, was very nice and knowledgeable and also very caring. He wanted to make sure we had the best time and saw the best of Namibia. He even showed up at the hotel at the end of the tour to take us the airport as the person that was supposed to come couldn't make it. So we really appreciated him taking responsibility for ensuring we had transportation even after the tour had ended! The only thing that I wasn't crazy about (which is not a negative reflection on the trip, the guide or the agency) is that it may have been nicer to have additional stops as sometimes it feels like you spend a lot of time in the car driving from place to place.

From the moment we stepped on Namibian soil the company looked after us. Shuttle services were excellent, and once we hopped aboard our shuttle to Swakopmund Mr. Gregory began to tell us about Namibia! It was my third time to this area and there is always more to learn. From Swakopmund to The desert we enjoyed our Guide Gideon who was a very good communicator in the bus and equally adept at preparing delicious meals. Thanks as well for sharing your lovely sense of humor with us. Accommodations were lovely. We also did the Nama Flava tour with Simon and Raymond and enjoyed it as well. Very impressed with Chameleon!
