What people love about Namibia Tours from Windhoek
- 8-Day Sossusvlei, Swakop, Twyfelfontein & Etosha (Lodging)
Guide did not have good lunch options
- Journeys: Wonders of Namibia National Geographic Journeys
Great things we saw!! A pity was the mistake in Etosha ( wrong dates in booking) forcing us to go to a run down camp. But also the planned camp (next day) was of low quality, with rather unfriendly personnel.
