    I had the privilege of having Shawn as my tour guide, and he truly made my experience unforgettable. Even though I was the only one on the tour, Shawn’s passion for his job and his deep knowledge of history and culture made it feel like a private, personalized adventure. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable time, offering insightful commentary, answering all my questions, and sharing fascinating stories that brought the destination to life. Shawn's professionalism and enthusiasm were evident from the start, and his dedication to his work shone through in every aspect of the tour. It’s clear that he loves what he does, and that energy made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He made my trip not just memorable, but unforgettable. I highly recommend Shawn for anyone looking to experience an authentic and enriching tour. You won’t be disappointed!

    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.
