Amazing!!
What an amazing trip! Everything was perfect, from the camping to the dunes, the safari and the food! You will eat the most delicious food done by our driver, chef and guide Anton! I would recommend this to anyone who can only do 6 days to travel but I wis I could have stayed longer!

EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
I cannot recommend this trip enough. It was truly the experience of a lifetime, and every part of it exceeded my expectations. The views were absolutely breathtaking, the itinerary was incredible, and the entire experience was unforgettable.
What made the trip especially memorable was our guide, Shaka. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and made everyone feel completely comfortable from the beginning. He took on the role of chef, driver, guide, paramedic, photographer, storyteller, and entertainer. By the end of the trip, he felt less like a guide and more like a good friend. Shaka brought so much energy and personality to the experience, and it simply would not have been the same without him. I am incredibly grateful for all the memories and will truly miss him. This was easily one of the best trips I have ever taken.

Hi Brett,
Thank you for this generous review. We are so glad the Sossusvlei and Etosha experiences with us exceeded your expectations and felt like one of the best trips you have taken, from the views through to the itinerary itself.
Shaka will be deeply happy to read this. It means a great deal that he made everyone comfortable from the start, carried so many roles along the way, and felt like a friend by the end, not only a guide. We will pass your thanks, and your goodbye, on to him.
Thank you for travelling with Chameleon Safaris.
Kind regards,
Gavin

6 wonderful days on the Sand, Sea & Etosha Budget Camping Safari
The 6-day tour was incredible and, thanks to our guide Skaka, absolutely perfect!
He took us safely to all these beautiful places and had so much to tell us about everything. The camp was always perfectly organized, and the food was absolutely delicious. He made sure, that all our needs were taken care of during the tour. Skaka even cooked vegetarian meals for me - it was just great! We had so much fun as a group, and I would travel with Chameleon again anytime- especially with Shaka as our guide. A huge thank you for this unforgettable experience!

A perfect escape
It was a great escape, camping through Namibia for 6 days was a great experience, walking on those sand dunes waiting for the sunrise was very peaceful. In Walvis bay where the desert meets the ocean was amazing. Our guides/drivers Chaka and Simon were great always making sure we were enjoying our trip, this was a very small group only two of us and two more guys that joined toreare the end of the tour, we all got along well and we had a great time. By the way Chaka is a good cook.

Sand, Sea and Wildlife
Was an amazing experience exploring 3 different parts of this beautiful country called Namibia. Our tour guide Smithley made all difference, he never let us down, always aware with the group, polite, full of knowledge and also an amazing chef. The camping experience was incredible and even in hard moments because of the heat, Smithley was there to support us. Highly recommended

Amazing well-organized tour through Namibia
I’m super grateful for this adventurous trip!
Kennedy was an excellent and professional guide — always helpful, resourceful and eager to share his extensive knowledge about Namibia’s flora and fauna. He also took our personal wishes into account which made the experience even more special.
Although the drives were long, they were absolutely worth it, as we got to witness a wide variety of breathtaking landscapes (like dunes, pans) and incredible wildlife (on safaris).
I would definitely recommend this trip to friends!
