    This has been one of the most memorable and unforgettable tour that I’ve ever booked. I enjoyed this adventure from the beginning till the end. Shawn, my guide and driver, was incredible punctual, helpful, and very knowledgeable about each one of the places I visited. The landscapes you see driving to Sossusvlei are breathtaking but the most exciting event is the climbing one of the highest dunes on Earth, Big Daddy. Dune 45 is a great option to experience 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 local restaurants and stores in the area. Since I like adrenaline and intensity, Shawn booked two optional activities, Sky diving and the Sandwich Harbor tour, where the ocean meets the sand dunes and desert, were two of the highlights of the tour. 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 you. I highly recommend it.
