A very nice day tour

Our driver Kevin told us a lot about the region and Namibia. We had enough time at all stations to enjoy the very beautiful nature. We were alone with Kevin and always had a safe feeling. The sights were as described and by no means crowded. The day was just really nice and we can only recommend this tour.

Operator response

He’ll be very happy to know his stories and knowledge about Namibia made your experience even more special. It’s wonderful to hear that you felt safe, had enough time to enjoy the beautiful landscapes, and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for another unforgettable adventure!

Dune Bashing with Mr. Oby (Obed)

My friend and I had an incredible and breathtaking experience. The guide is well informed and also knows how to maneuver the car well yet he looks so young. I was scared at first but quickly got comfortable. The professionalism of the ladies responsible for bookings is unmatched. I will definitely be coming back for round 2.

Good time but..

The experience, the guides and most of the staff were amazing but we had a disastrous experience with one of the person in charge of the booking/organisation. Communication was difficult and unreliable, she was the most nonchalant person I've ever seen.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. While we’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour itself and had a positive experience with our guides and most of the team, we are truly sorry to learn that the booking and communication process fell short of your expectations. Please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration this caused. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and your feedback is being taken seriously. We are currently reviewing the situation internally to ensure we address this issue and improve the consistency of our communication and professionalism across the entire team. We value your input and appreciate the opportunity to do better. If you’re open to it, we’d love to hear more details privately so we can ensure this doesn't happen again in the future. Thank you once again for your honest feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your full confidence in our service. Warm regards,

Great day in Walvis Bay

Dennis was great from the pickup at the port to the drop off. We enjoyed our full day with him seeing flamingos, seals and assorted other animals. He even found a gecko for us. Riding the dunes was so much fun with Dennis. He is an amazing driver. And the views were beautiful of the dunes over the ocean. The included picnic lunch was delicious and plentiful. Thank you for a great day.

Thrilling and educational. Don’t miss it.

Fabulous fun-filled day trip in and around the Namib desert. We saw flamingos, the desert gheko, black backed jackals and ostriches, the salt factory and more before heading out to the sand dunes. It was a real thrill to zip up and down, somewhat like being on a giant roller coaster. A lovely lunch was served atop one of the dunes. All in all a great day. Highly recommend!

It's indeed like being on a giant roller coaster! We're pleased to hear that you savored a lovely lunch atop one of the dunes, adding to the overall enjoyment of your day.
