3 Days - Windhoek- Sossusvlei - Windhoek Camping Guided Safari It was well managed 3days tour for Dune 45, Big daddy, Deadvlei Sossusvlei, and Sandwich harbour. Guide: Fanuel had enough skills and experiences for this tour. He knows well about persons around the camp site of the park and it’s restaurant and thus he is reliable. He is friendly to everyone and willing to help with other travelers as well. I respect his attitude. Drive: Total driving distance of this tour was over 1,000km. And around 40% of them are gravel roads. You need to be prepared for them. But Fanuel’s drive was good because he drove safely and not too much speed. I was very comfortable with it. Scenic points: Sun set at Dune 45, Sunrise at Big daddy and view of sandwich harbor were magnificent. These are like another planet. Fanuel knew well about the timing of each points to go and thus I could smoothly see them without troubles. For example, if you see sunrise at Big daddy or Dune 45, you need to be in front of the gate at the time of gate open. To do this, you have to stay lodges or camp site inside the park. You also need 4x4 car. Fanuel well prepared for them on behalf of me, which was very convenient for me. Camp site: Although the tour was just me and the guide of Fanuel, he prepared 2 tents for each other and I could stay there comfortably. I expected the night time was freezing cold but it was okay for me. I could sleep well without problems. We had dinner at the restaurant/bar of the camp site and the food was actually very good. Overall: I will definitely recommend this tour for the person who wants to view scenic points smoothly without stress.Ambassador192178

The site itself was such a unique experience, a pace like no other. red sand dunes, the baked clay flats the location is just fabulous. Fanuel was outstanding at spotting animals on the drives to and from sossusvlei. My only recommendation is to provide a two-day option as there are limited activities once the site is visited.ParkH161
