    My husband and I had a wonderful 3 day trip March 2-4, 2024 with Motema Tours. We were picked up at our hotel in Windhoek and the first day was spent driving out to the Namib Desert. Rodrig was a fantastic guide. We stopped at Spreetshoogte Pass and the town of Solitaire, and spent the night at Elegant Desert Lodge, which was a wonderful hotel. Day 2 was jam packed with going to Namib-Naukluft Park where the big red sand dunes are. Pictures can't convey the size and beauty of the desert. We climbed Dune 45 and visited Deadviel, Sossuslvlei, and Sesriem Canyon. We took an optional plane flight over the desert which was very worthwhile. The third day was spent driving back to Windhoek and admiring the beautiful scenery of the Naukluft mountains, as well as seeing zebras, a hyena, meerkats, ostriches, and other animals. This is a great private tour if you only have a few days to see the sand dunes.

    Amazing diverse landscape with a knowledgeable and professional guide made this a memorable tour. Highlight was seeing a pride of 11 lions in Etosha nature reserve. From the jaw dropping landscape to enthralling dune 4x4 racing to the luxurious African sundowners eating great food outside under the stars.
