"The included trip to Sossusvlei was excellent, including time to climb dune 45 and extended time to take in the splendour of Deadvlei.

The great lunch laid out under a shady tree before we returned to Hoodia was particularly memorable as we were the only guests and it was our wedding anniversary!

Our guide was very good." Read more about this whole safari

"Excellent. The guide was knowledgeable and made it a special experience by going out of his way to avoid the crowds.

For example, instead of providing a lunch stop at the main dune walk he drove to another stopping point where we were the only staying visitors for the duration.

Oryx and Ostrich strolled by in the distance whilst we lunched a delicious sit-down meal with wine in excellent company.

As good as it gets!" Read more about this whole safari

"The trip to Sossusvlei was great and the guide very knowledgable.

Really loved the walk up the dunes away from the crowds and the search for animal tracks and spiders in the sand. Lunch out was unique and well catered.

Felt the walk to Sesriem canyon was a bit touristy and was just a walk in and out but interesting nonetheless." Read more about this whole safari

"Hoodia is about a 40 minute drive from the park gates. Only those people staying in the park are able to see the sunrise from the dunes. Once people staying outside are let in the sun is up. Nevertheless, the landscape of the red dunes is majestic.

Daniel, our guide, stopped and took us a short distance off road to see some of the tiny creatures living in the sand, including the dancing spider. Further on we climbed up a smallish sand dune. We were told that the many oryx that live in the park can sometimes be found on top of the dunes cooling themselves down. It was extremely hot.

For lunch our guide took us away from the crowds. Stopping under a shady tree, tables and chairs were set up, and a proper lunch laid out. This was again very professional and very enjoyable." Read more about this whole safari

"The Sossusvlei Excursion was more than just a trip to the dunes.

The guide was excellent and explained the geology and wildlife, including the dancing white lady spider.

The picnic lunch was also quite extravagant." Read more about this whole safari
