We are thrilled! I definitely recommend it to everyone! An exclusive program. The work of the guide is 24 to 7.
Our trip took place in October 2023. I liked the professional approach to the organization of the tour, a well-thought-out program down to the smallest detail, the best hotels and an erudite guide, a lot of surprises and bonuses, and just a sincere and friendly attitude. For us, tourists from Russia, it was difficult to solve the issue of prepayment. I want to thank Vyacheslav for finding a compromise solution to this issue. We are planning a new trip this year.
We just returned from a New Year's trip to Namibia.
Vyacheslav fully organized the trip: he made up the route, picked up fantastic hotels along the way, prescribed detailed recommendations, and organized car rental.
And he was always in touch, reminded and suggested where not to miss🙂
It was our first self-drive tour and our first trip to Africa. We were very satisfied. The tour was very balanced: after long journeys, we stayed for 2-3 days in one location for a break.
Lots of impressions and no problems along the way!
Now, if you go to Africa, then only through Vyacheslav!
Vyacheslav was contacted 2 times to organize tours in Africa. With its help, 6 African countries have already been viewed. Both trips, despite the difficult logistics, went perfectly and without failures. A couple of times we were helped in the most expeditious way to solve our own force majeure, one of which happened on New Year's Eve (the flight was late and the entire chain of movements collapsed). Always well-chosen lodges and hotels. Reliable recommendations from local guides. Africans' concepts of reliability and punctuality are not very similar to ours. Vyacheslav's people are as reliable as Swiss watches. In short, if you want to see Africa, by yourself or with guides, feel free to contact us here! 6 stars out of 5👍
We booked a tour with a girl for 6 days and 5 nights. Everything was done in a hurry, and as a result, a belated understanding came that it would be problematic to make the best route, build logistics and take into account all the pitfalls. Vyacheslav and his company turned out to be a real salvation. The English-speaking Durr guide deserves the highest reviews. We had at our disposal an excellent four-wheel drive car and literally a minute-by-minute painted as bright and eventful a trip as possible, in which we managed to see almost the whole country, despite the very limited time frame (lay down at least 10 days for the trip). We visited different parts of the Namib desert, rode quads and jeeps there. We reached the Atlantic coast, sailed on a yacht among dolphins and fur seals, visited flamingo Bay and enjoyed local seafood of excellent quality. Finally, we visited a private nature reserve north of Windhoek, where we went on a very intense safari, and also stayed in a hotel where many wild animals can be found right on the territory - something we have always dreamed of. All the places for overnight stays were selected very carefully and taking into account the most demanding taste. We travel the world a lot and we have something to compare it with. Believe me, the professionals in their field are working. Many thanks for your hard work and attention to all wishes! We are not saying goodbye to you, but we are talking until we meet again)
Vyacheslav promptly responds to all customer requests for the formation of the tour. The best guide in Namibia is Charles!
Thank you for a wonderful vacation! 🧡
We were in Namibia from November 6 to November 21, 2021. The impressions of the trip subsided a little and we decided to write a review. Usually long texts are difficult to read, so a short summary at the very beginning: Everything turned out very well, even better than we expected! And if we hadn't arrived in Namibia, we would have been late for the whole spring)
Thanks to Vyacheslav for the excellent organization and invaluable tips and life hacks. From transfers to the purchase of barbecue products. Not once during the entire trip has there been a single malfunction. It is very valuable and rare! And thank you for always being in touch and resolving any issues promptly and efficiently.
All hotels in the Gondwana chain are excellent. Our favorites:
Fish River Lodge - it is impossible to get used to the opening landscape;
Eagles Nest - a chalet in the desert, attached to a cliff and overlooking the sunset is something!
Namib dessert is the first experience of spending the night in a tent and oryx at arm's length;
Swakopmund delight - interior and breakfasts and sunsets at The Tug;
And Afrikan Kwela unexpectedly met us at the end of the journey with a real Russian tablecloth-a self-made one).
The lodge in Okaukueho turned out to be the most lame, but Diana, the owner of African Kwela, explained to us what was what.
All additional excursions on your recommendation are super. Predators in Naancus, red sands in Kalahari, aloe trees. The descent into the canyon by jeep from Fish River Lodge was especially impressive (expensive, but definitely worth the money). Catamaran and dunes in Sandwich Harbor with oysters and champagne - see the best!
We marveled at the landscapes of the country the whole trip. They are so different and everyone is beautiful in their own way. But the road to Sosusvlei from Aus was especially amazing (on the advice of Pete from Eagles Nest, we even made a small loop to see more beauty). And the Sosusvlei Park itself is certainly extraordinary. Only the sandy road to the dead forest was worth it) The local Django told us that Dune 45 is for mothers with strollers and pensioners, so we climbed Big Daddy dune along a long way (we accidentally went to it). It wasn't easy, but it was cool! We regretted that we did not fly in a hot air balloon. Next time, definitely.
In addition to antelopes, zebras and giraffes, which are there at every bush, on the very first day we were lucky enough to see whole families of bathing elephants, lions, and rhinoceroses. There are dolphins and whales in Swakopmund. We decided that we were incredibly lucky)
Perhaps, only the seals disappointed. I really wanted to see them up close, but the colony in Cape Cross left a depressing feeling - the animals turned out to stink too much and generally unpleasant. We didn't go to the skeleton coast after the seals.
We got to know the Namibians, learned a lot of interesting things. Diana also told a lot of interesting details.
In general, we wanted to go back and spend more time in some places. And be sure to buy a camera with a good lens for the trip) We hope that this will happen one day.
