Wonderful tour!

Daniel_K, May 2024

This was an excellent tour. Leonard was a great guide and he was knowledgable, helpful, punctual and funny. He was also easygoing and accomodating. Some of the trip is long car rides, but they are fine as he was a great driver. I would book this tour again in a heartbeat!

AMAZING trip to Sossusvlei, with hiking, camping, and four wheeling!

I had an AMAZING three day journey with Leonard! We hiked sand dunes and went four wheeling and visited the ocean and camped in an amazing place (with showers, bathrooms, and plenty of hot water). We ate delicious food the entire trip, and Leonard was an amazing host. The trip included a fair bit of driving. I felt really safe in the vehicle provided and with Leonard at the wheel. He’s an excellent driver. He handled all the logistics (lodging, where to eat, pre-arranged four wheeling tour). It was so nice to experience the Namibian desert without having to worry about any of the planning details. I was a solo female traveler and I felt really safe with Leonard as my guide and everywhere we went. I’d for sure do it again.

well managed tour

Hiroyuki_K, Jun 2023

3 Days - Windhoek- Sossusvlei - Windhoek Camping Guided Safari It was well managed 3days tour for Dune 45, Big daddy, Deadvlei Sossusvlei, and Sandwich harbour. Guide: Fanuel had enough skills and experiences for this tour. He knows well about persons around the camp site of the park and it’s restaurant and thus he is reliable. He is friendly to everyone and willing to help with other travelers as well. I respect his attitude. Drive: Total driving distance of this tour was over 1,000km. And around 40% of them are gravel roads. You need to be prepared for them. But Fanuel’s drive was good because he drove safely and not too much speed. I was very comfortable with it. Scenic points: Sun set at Dune 45, Sunrise at Big daddy and view of sandwich harbor were magnificent. These are like another planet. Fanuel knew well about the timing of each points to go and thus I could smoothly see them without troubles. For example, if you see sunrise at Big daddy or Dune 45, you need to be in front of the gate at the time of gate open. To do this, you have to stay lodges or camp site inside the park. You also need 4x4 car. Fanuel well prepared for them on behalf of me, which was very convenient for me. Camp site: Although the tour was just me and the guide of Fanuel, he prepared 2 tents for each other and I could stay there comfortably. I expected the night time was freezing cold but it was okay for me. I could sleep well without problems. We had dinner at the restaurant/bar of the camp site and the food was actually very good. Overall: I will definitely recommend this tour for the person who wants to view scenic points smoothly without stress.
