What people love about Namibia Tours for Young Adults
The tour was just amazing, well organized and the guides were great.
Cape & Dunes Southbound: Desert Camping & Safari Drives
- 11-day Cape Town to Namibia (Accommodated)
Peri PERI was a excellent guide and very helpful. Food was amazing and he worked so hard to look after us. I upgraded some of the time to accommodation in the lodges ( as like comfy bed over a tent :) ) Some of the tour group sadly were not always sociable and bit disrespectful to mature members of group and bit moody but that's pot luck. I ended up going bars on my own or with the guys from G adventures
- Cape & Dunes Northbound: Wildlife & Starry Night Skies
This trip was exceptional. A camping experience in such wildlife-rich African countries is the best way to really immerse yourself. You don't find such spectacular night skies and unique wildlife in many other countries these days due to sprawling suburbia and agriculture taking over many land areas. You will also really bond with your fellow tour members due to how interactive the tour is. I felt like we were all a close family setting up our campsite each night and cooking together. We saw so much African wildlife, and I'm not just talking about on the safari drive. We also experienced and met with African tribes. I was so sad leaving this trip, it is truly an experience to have and one you will never forget.
