A fabulous tour which I can heartily recommend.

John | Traveled in October
It was an amazing experience. Everything from booking to accommodation, tour leaders, included activities was top notch. The safaris were wonderful. It was so nice to have everything organized for us. Can?t say enough about CEO, drivers, and general organization. Was a pricey tour but worth every penny, or Rand!

A trip into the deserts of NW Namibia to experience the desert landscapes and wildlife. The emphasis was on desert adapted animals, before moving to the rich wildlife of Etosha later in the holiday. There is a lot of mileage covered, and some long days, but Namibia is a big country. The ability to go off road in a 4WD onto the gravel tracks and dunes when wild camping provided an atmosphere of adventure which you dont get when staying on tarmac roads.
