    I enjoyed this tour from the beginning till the end. Shawn, my guide and driver, was always on time, he was very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms and lodges met all my expectations: clean, spacious, comfortable, and very eco-friendly. The food was delicious and healthy and the restaurant service was spectacular. The landscapes that you see driving from Windhoek to Sossusvlei are breathtaking. You will have many opportunities to take memorable pictures.The next day, you can climb one of the highest dunes on Earth, Big Daddy. Dune 45 is a great option if you want a less challenging climbing. This is a must do. Swakopmund, a coast town, offers you plenty of activities. You can walk around town and enjoy the seaside, restaurants and stores in the area. Since I like adrenaline and intensity, Shawn booked two optional activities, sky diving and the sandwich harbor tour.That was amazing!!!!! I spent the last two days in Etosha. The biodiversity that you will see during the visit to Etosha National Park will blow your mind away. If you don't have enough time and you want to see and explore Namibia, this is the right tour for vou.

    We did 5 days in Namibia; from Windhoek to the desert to the coast and then to Etosha. It was a lot of travel in the car, but the sights were totally worth the ride. Our guide Shawn was incredible. He made the trip magical. He is well connected, knowledgable, and truly cares about giving guests the experiences they dream of.

    This tour was the perfect way to experience Madagascar. It truly is an amazing and unique country. The roads are difficult to navigate but my driver (Pierre) did a great job. The Itinerary was exciting and full of once in a lifetime moments. My tour guide Tahiry took care of everything and was knowledgeable, and informative. I really couldn't ask for better lodgings or meals as we moved from destination to destination. There were a few stops at local artisans that I like better than others, but I was happy they were all included in my tour.
