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.

A wide variety of activities. Good journeys although some were long but transport was reasonable. Both chef and driver were excellent. A special mention is reserved for the Chef who day after day produced good meals. Our guide was good and ran an effective trip which visited all the sites stated. It would have been helpful if maps could have been provide for the larger camp sites as it was vey disorientating and on 2 occasions I had to be rescued by other campers who had been provided with maps. Overall a very good trip
Cape Town to Vic Falls (19 destinations)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!
Namibian Adventure (Camping) 5 Days / 4 NightsFrom 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!
