ウィントフックの6日間の砂丘と野生生物に対応したサファリ

We had an unforgettable eight-day journey through Namibia, from the red dunes of Sossusvlei and the Atlantic coast to the wildlife of Etosha National Park. A special thanks to our driver, Simon P Sheya, who accompanied us throughout the trip and helped make the whole journey smooth, enjoyable, and memorable! Day 1: We arrived at Windhoek Airport and checked into our hotel smoothly. In the evening, we went to the well-known Joe’s Beerhouse to try some local Namibian food, which felt like the perfect way to officially begin our trip. Day 2: We drove south from Windhoek to the Quiver Tree Forest near Keetmanshoop. In the late afternoon, we first visited the Giant’s Playground, an impressive landscape filled with unusual rock formations, before continuing to the Quiver Tree Forest and checking into a nearby camp. At night, the sky was filled with stars, and the Milky Way was clearly visible overhead. Day 3: We left the Quiver Tree Forest and headed toward the red dunes of Sossusvlei, staying at a hotel near the national park. In the late afternoon, we joined a sunset tour through grasslands and mountainous scenery, spotting springboks and zebras along the way. We eventually reached a hilltop, where we enjoyed a spectacular sunset over the vast Namibian landscape. Day 4: After sunrise, we entered the Sossusvlei area and climbed the towering Dune 45. The sunlight created striking contrasts across the dunes, highlighting their elegant curves and ridgelines, while endless stretches of red sand extended into the distance. We then visited Deadvlei, where the dark, ancient dead trees stood dramatically against the white clay pan and surrounding red dunes. After finishing our visit to the desert, we continued on to Walvis Bay. Around sunset, we could already see large flocks of flamingos near our hotel, providing a beautiful ending to the day. Day 5: In the morning, we took a catamaran cruise from Walvis Bay and enjoyed the fresh Atlantic breeze and coastal scenery. Playful seals climbed directly onto the boat looking for food, while white pelicans flew alongside us and came remarkably close to the passengers. In the distance, the beaches were covered with large colonies of seals. The biggest surprise of the morning was spotting a humpback whale, which surfaced briefly and revealed the smooth curve of its back. In the afternoon, we headed to Sandwich Harbour for a 4x4 dune-driving adventure. With the vast Atlantic Ocean on one side and towering sand dunes on the other, bouncing across the dunes and driving along the coastline was a truly unique experience. Day 6: We left Swakopmund and drove to Etosha National Park. After arriving, we went into the park for a short evening game drive and were lucky enough to see elephants drinking at a waterhole—a perfect preview of the safari experience to come the following day. Day 7: We spent the day on a full safari in Etosha National Park. Not long after entering the park, we heard the exciting news that a lion had been spotted nearby. When we arrived, we saw a male lion slowly walking across the grassland toward a waterhole, occasionally letting out a deep roar. Throughout the day, springbok, zebras, and many other animals appeared along the roadside. We also watched herds of elephants gathering around the waterholes and were even lucky enough to see a black rhino coming down to drink. It was easily one of the most exciting and wildlife-filled days of the entire trip. Day 8: We left Etosha and returned to Windhoek Airport, bringing our journey through Namibia to an end. In just eight days, we had travelled from red deserts and the Atlantic coast to vast African grasslands, experiencing an incredible variety of landscapes and wildlife along the way.

An amazing tour. Our energetic guide Simon was highly professional - reliable, knowledgeable, astute and always very personable. We would not hesitate to travel again on a Simon-led safari. J&T

Everything was perfectly organized. The places we visited were even more beautiful than I could have imagined, magical. Our guide, Anton, was a perfect driver, as well as a great cook and guide. This trip was an experience I will never forget.

I recently completed an unforgettable Namibian Highlights with Chameleon Safaris, and it was indeed an unforgettable experience. Perfectly organized (from start to finish), timely assistance and our fantastic tour guide - Gideon. From the start Gideon’s way to keep the trivia & knowledge information about every spot we traversed along our journey was something that sticks with me and stays memorable about Namibia. Gideon’s driving was always top notch, safe, smooth (to perfectly counterbalance the African Massage experience) and the customized vehicle which made it feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the journey on long distance drives. One of the qualities that stood out the most was Gideon’s punctuality and excellent time management. Every day ran according to the planned schedule, like a clockwork and he ensured that we maximized our time at each destination without ever feeling rushed. Gideon’s sharp attention to timing helped us enjoy every activity while staying organized and stress-free. Gideon is incredibly humble and easy-going, positive and accommodating (special thanks for bringing us on-time to have one final sunset timelapse opportunity). His friendly personality, wild sense of humor and relaxed attitude created a wonderful atmosphere within the group. He was always ready with an interesting story (trivia), making even the longest travel days enjoyable. Throughout the safari, Gideon shared valuable information about Namibia's wildlife, landscapes, culture, and history. His knowledge added significant depth to the experience and helped us appreciate the country far beyond its diverse landscape. Another impressive aspect was his resourcefulness, especially when it came to lunch preparation. The meals were delicious, thoughtfully & timely organized, showing his versatility and commitment to ensuring everyone was well fed and not just the Game :D Most importantly, Gideon created an amazing and welcoming bond within the group. He brought our group together (Dinner at Swakopmund), encouraged positive interactions (suggesting us to switch seats, so that everyone gets to know each one better) and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. His genuine care for the group's well-being fostered a strong sense of camaraderie that became one of the highlights of the trip. Overall, this Namibian Highlights package exceeded all of my expectations, credit goes to Gideon & Team Chameleon Safaris (fantastic & clean accommodations all throughout). Gideon's professionalism, safe driving, punctuality, knowledge, humility, resourcefulness, and ability to create a positive group dynamic made the experience truly special. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an enjoyable, safe, and memorable adventure in Namibia.

Wonderfull experience. Our guide Simon show me Africa from the best perspective. Had a lot of knowledge and tell us a lot and answer each question - also recommend great additional activities. We always had something to do, saw amazing places and everything went really smooth. 10/10 recommendation to everyone

Started by getting collected from our hotel and going through a briefing which was all very clear. At this point we headed off to Etosha National Park, quite a long drive but beautiful scenery. We arrived at the park and did a game drive that evening and all day the following day. Absolutely amazing, we saw lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes and much more! The Taleni cabins the second evening were brilliant :) We then headed for Swakopmund and saw a famous shipwreck, went for a great meal at Tug that evening. Following this we headed for sossusvlei, the cabins there and lodge were fantastic! We saw Deadvlei, did a drive with picnic in the sand dunes. The whole experience was great, our guide and driver Gregory was absolutely fantastic, cannot recommend highly enough 👍🏻

Excellent from start to finish. The game drives were brilliant, the guides very knowledgeable and switched on and the rest of the activities were really fun and varied. The cheetahs were a personal highlight. All the accommodation was awesome, especially the two nights in the Desert Quiver Camp. Our main guide and driver, Gregory, made the whole experience really relaxed and enjoyable.

An unforgettable 6 days with Chameleon! I really cannot explain how special this experience was for me- the friends I made on the tour were brilliant and a bit thank you to Chaka and Simon our tour guides for their amazing hospitality. Some brilliant landscapes and most of the big 5 were spotted. The only thing I would change is the football team both Chaka and Simon support but nobody is perfect.

Anton was a very friendly and helpful tour guide who shared his excellent knowledge about Namibia with us. He took great care of us, and we had a wonderful time together. It was a beautiful trip filled with unforgettable moments.

Unforgettable 6-Day Safari – A Truly Unique Experience! ​I recently completed a 6-day safari with Chameleon Safaris, and it was simply outstanding. Even though I ended up being the only guest on this trip, it turned into an incomparable and deeply personal journey. ​My Guide: Kennedy – Highly Recommended ​A huge thank you goes to my guide, Kennedy. He made the entire safari incredibly comfortable, safe, and informative. What sets him apart is his impressive linguistic talent: whether at the lodges or in the heart of Damaraland, Kennedy could converse with everyone we met. This opened doors to authentic and fascinating encounters with the Damara, Herero, and Himba people—experiences I wouldn’t have had without him. ​Wildlife Highlights ​The wildlife sightings were breathtaking: ​Etosha Pan: I was lucky enough to observe elephants, lions, rhinos, and giraffes. ​Solitaire: Getting to see cheetahs from such a close distance was a dream come true. ​Value for Money ​While the price may seem high at first glance, the quality of the accommodations and the level of service provided make it an excellent value for the money. You truly get what you pay for—and more. ​Bottom line: I can warmly recommend Kennedy as a guide and would book with Chameleon Safaris again in a heartbeat! .
