    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.
