Surprising trip!

5.00Loved our tour guide Stefano and the spitzkoppe experience. A guide took us to a place where we met our tour guide. There were only 3 of us on the tour so it was like a private tour. Our guide was very polite, spoke English very well, answered all our questions, gave us a great tour, even helped us climb the rocks and took us back to port on time as agreed upon. Highly recommended!

5.00Another great day out with Stephan who again demonstrated his knowledge of the local area, geology, flora and fauna. Loved his stories about movies made in Namibia.
Perfect Spitzkoppe Day

5.00We had a perfect day to visit Spitzkoppe and Winton, our guide, made it extra special. He was so engaging and knowledgeable that we talked the whole day without stopping. It was one jaw dropping view after another and so thrilling to see 2000 year old paintings from the San People. We had an absolutely delicious picnic lunch under one of the granite mountains. As we are in our mid 60’s it was so nice of Winton to show us the easy way up to the famous arch!
A very nice visit!

5.00Guide Ludwig picked us up on time at the cruise port in Walvis Bay. It was a great day with unforgettable impressions. He told us a lot about culture and landscape, we had a great picnic in the shade of a tree. Thanks again for this fantastic tour.
Our enthusiasm for Namibia was aroused on the tour.

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
