5.00We had a wonderful day in Namibia. From the communication beforehand to the pick-up at the harbour in Walvis Bay to the picnic on the way, everything went perfectly. Our guide Ludwig Kieck was super nice and provided us with a wealth of information about the country, its people, flora and fauna. We can wholeheartedly recommend this trip 👍🏻
Best daytrip we could have/best experience Swakopmund!!

5.00We had a full day tour with Tongai and I can't stop smiling because we had such a lovely day. He did everything to make us happy: tell a lot about the country, people, plants and nature here, answered aaaaall our questions, which were quite a lot :), took perfect pictures from us as a couple everywhere we stopped and time just went by so fast. All in all, the day was so good, we directly booked another tour for tomorrow :) also the way he was talking about the company and Uwe not only as a boss, but as a gentle human and friend gave us even a better feeling about anything :) can only recommend to take this company when in Swakopmund! We had a day trip with Tongai and I just can't stop smiling because we had such a nice day. He did everything he could to make us happy: He talked a lot about land, people, plants and nature, answered all our questions, and that was quite a lot:), everywhere we stopped, took perfect photos of us as a couple and time flew by. All in all, the day was so nice that we booked another tour for tomorrow:) Also the way he talked about the Enterprise and Uwe, not only as a boss but also as a friendly person and friend, made us feel even better :) I can only recommend this Enterprise if you are in Swakopmund!
Special and very individual

5.00We had a great day trip to Spitzkoppe over Henties Bay me Gerald. The rock formations and the view over the green, blooming expanse was impressive. We had two American rock experts on board, a great companion. The Bushman paintings are definitely worth seeing. We can highly recommend this day tour.

5.00We went on two brilliant tours. The first to Spitzkoppe with Winton was just incredible. The views were stunning, and Winton's friendly and informative guiding made you appreciate the landscape all the more. Could have happily stayed all day. A special thank you again to Winton for your care after my clumsiness, haha. Our second tour was with Dennis, who took us on an exhilarating ride to Sandwich Harbour. It was a wild ride but made extremely fun due to complete trust in Dennis's experience and superb driving skills. And so so worth it. Lunch on both days was excellent and far beyond a normal packed lunch. Can't recommend either of these tours enough, frankly, some of the best I've experienced in many years of travel. Thank you !!
Awe-inspiring breathtaking

5.00We were left in awe at the beauty of Namib Desert during this tour. The ever changing terrain from Henties Bay, to Spitzkoppe, to the Moonlandscape, as pointed out by our guide Japie. It was breathtaking to hear the Khoisan language at the Small Bushman Paradise. My father also enjoyed playing the ting-ting rocks. Truly a marvelous day.
A trip in the life time
