"The guide was very good and we appreciated that due to a lack of tourists still (Covid) we were just the two of us with him."

"The excursion to Sossusvlei was good - wasn't expecting a pond in the desert with flamingos and avocets.
In retrospect, I would probably have chosen to drive myself rather than going on the group drive." Read more about this whole safari

"Driver got stuck in the sand, but it made the excursion better because we had time to walk on our own!"

"Knowledgeable guide that went above and beyond. Enjoyed getting out in the dunes, tracking scorpions, white spiders, etc. as well as climbing them.
We had our lunch spot all to ourselves. A lovely picnic lunch complete with tables, chairs, linens, and dishes as well as an oryx nearby. Fun to watch the weaver birds flit about in the tree.
At the end of lunch our guide poured out the water onto the log. The birds, a gecko and lots of beetles all came to drink. Fun to watch." Read more about this whole safari

Based at Hoodia Desert Lodge on 14 Oct 2019
"The Sossusvlei excursion was absolutely brilliant.
Our guide Lucas was incredibly knowledgeable and we loved the fact that he deliberately took us away from the crowds to find quieter spots. The lunch and 'bar' was super, I think we were all slightly drunk by the time we got to the canyon in the afternoon (a lovely German man took charge of keeping everyone's glasses topped up during lunch) but we were all hugely enjoying ourselves."
