Spitzkoppen - A perfect day out

How lucky we were! Huge thanks to Stephan for an absolutely epic day out! We experienced the grandeur of Spitzkoppe, rising proudly against the vast Namibian sky, truly unforgettable. From breathtaking views to ancient Bushman paintings and even visiting the filming location of Mad Max; every moment was special. Incredible scenery, great company, and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you #Desert Dunes & Dusk Tours.

The tour was canceled by the operator.

The operator canceled the tour because it was a holiday and they only had one client.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry for any disappointment caused. We would kindly like to clarify that our tours are not canceled due to the holiday. As stated in our booking policy, this experience requires a minimum of two or payment for two. Unfortunately, as there was only one booking and this requirement was not met, we were unable to operate the tour as scheduled. We hope to have the opportunity to host you in the future under the right conditions 😊. Thanks Uwe

Surprising trip!

Loved our tour guide Stefano and the spitzkoppe experience. A guide took us to a place where we met our tour guide. There were only 3 of us on the tour so it was like a private tour. Our guide was very polite, spoke English very well, answered all our questions, gave us a great tour, even helped us climb the rocks and took us back to port on time as agreed upon. Highly recommended!

Spitskoppen day tour

Another great day out with Stephan who again demonstrated his knowledge of the local area, geology, flora and fauna. Loved his stories about movies made in Namibia.

Perfect Spitzkoppe Day

We had a perfect day to visit Spitzkoppe and Winton, our guide, made it extra special. He was so engaging and knowledgeable that we talked the whole day without stopping. It was one jaw dropping view after another and so thrilling to see 2000 year old paintings from the San People. We had an absolutely delicious picnic lunch under one of the granite mountains. As we are in our mid 60’s it was so nice of Winton to show us the easy way up to the famous arch!

Best daytrip we could have/best experience Swakopmund!!

We had a full day tour with Tongai and I can't stop smiling because we had such a lovely day. He did everything to make us happy: tell a lot about the country, people, plants and nature here, answered aaaaall our questions, which were quite a lot :), took perfect pictures from us as a couple everywhere we stopped and time just went by so fast. All in all, the day was so good, we directly booked another tour for tomorrow :) also the way he was talking about the company and Uwe not only as a boss, but as a gentle human and friend gave us even a better feeling about anything :) can only recommend to take this company when in Swakopmund! We had a day trip with Tongai and I just can't stop smiling because we had such a nice day. He did everything he could to make us happy: He talked a lot about land, people, plants and nature, answered all our questions, and that was quite a lot:), everywhere we stopped, took perfect photos of us as a couple and time flew by. All in all, the day was so nice that we booked another tour for tomorrow:) Also the way he talked about the Enterprise and Uwe, not only as a boss but also as a friendly person and friend, made us feel even better :) I can only recommend this Enterprise if you are in Swakopmund!
