Overview

Enjoy the beauty of one of Namibia's most photographed sights on a 3-day express safari from Swakopmund to the Soussusvlei region. Journey across Ghaub Pass toward your first night's lodging: an en suite desert camp near Sesriem. Watch the sun set behind the Naukluft Mountains, then start day two en route to the world's oldest desert and its iconic red dunes. Climb the impressive Dune 45, meander among camel thorn trees and bask in the area's supreme peacefulness. Spend your final morning tracking cheetah in the company of a trained biologist.

It's an incredible experience. Gregg was very patient and nice during all the tour. We completed the scheduled on time.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hi Leslie, thank you so much for the review. Very very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience of Namibia, with such a patient Chameleon as Gregory. Come join us again soon, exploring more of Namibia with friends and family. Jordan-Rohi

What a wonderful tour!...

shirley_s, Jun 2024

What a wonderful tour! Our guide was Mr. Kennedy, who is a genius at driving and leading, most importantly, full of humor! I think his episodes are a part of scenery in Namibia, should be as well-known as the Sossusvlei. We really enjoyed our journey and had so many good memories with other new buddies. Personally speaking, the experience was one of the highlights in Namibia.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for the kind words! We're happy you enjoyed the tour and had such a memorable experience with Mr. Kennedy. He'll be delighted to hear your praise. We hope to welcome you back to Namibia soon!
