What people love about Namibia Tours from Windhoek
- 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.
- 7 Days / 6 Nights Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park ( Comfort)
Try and get Kenneth to run your tour - he is excellent
- 7 Day Taste Of Namibia Accommodated Safari
Excellent tour. Everyone at Chameleon Tours was a pleasure to deal with. Tulimo was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable about all relevant areas and a great all around person. Namibia is a beautiful and diverse country.
