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.

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!

I had the privilege of having Shawn as my tour guide, and he truly made my experience unforgettable. Even though I was the only one on the tour, Shawn’s passion for his job and his deep knowledge of history and culture made it feel like a private, personalized adventure. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable time, offering insightful commentary, answering all my questions, and sharing fascinating stories that brought the destination to life. Shawn's professionalism and enthusiasm were evident from the start, and his dedication to his work shone through in every aspect of the tour. It’s clear that he loves what he does, and that energy made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He made my trip not just memorable, but unforgettable. I highly recommend Shawn for anyone looking to experience an authentic and enriching tour. You won’t be disappointed!

I travelled as an accommodated solo female passenger. The organisation was brilliant, Crispy our tour guide was fantastic, funny, energetic, loaded with the most up to date information and most of all just a top bloke. Zeph was our driver, he was also funny, friendly and very safe, couldn't have asked for a better team. Booking with On the Go I assumed that we were on a tour run by On the Go however the company was Acacia Africa. I think this should have been mentioned earlier in the booking process not just when receiving travel documents 2 weeks prior to departing. No complaints about Acacia as they were fantastic and 100% would use again. My top spot on this trip was Elephant Sands, absolutely beautiful location and accommodation. The least favourite was Zeldas, this place is really tired, broken door locks, no water pressure in the taps or shower, my tour mates who were camping took photos of their bathroom showing mould and filth. Such a shame as the location is stunning. I loved everyday. My highlights were getting within a few meters of elephants on the Mokoros, the Chobe Game drive being so close to Lions and the sunsets and sunrises everyday. You cannot explain the beauty of something so simple as a sunset. If you're a solo female and wondering if its safe to do this tour alone, I say GO FOR IT.
