Fantastic tour of Namibia especially for first time in Africa
As a solo traveler embarking on my first trip through southern Africa, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect introduction to the continent than this incredible tour of Namibia. What began as a four-day photography tour quickly transformed into a six-day, life-changing adventure, all thanks to the outstanding team at People Tours and Safari.
The exceptional service began well before I even landed. With just a month's notice, I was in communication with Emilia, who was an absolute lifesaver. She seamlessly extended my trip from four to six days to accommodate my travel schedule and expertly sorted out all the logistics in what felt like an impossibly short amount of time. Her professionalism and prompt communication provided immense peace of mind, and I am so grateful for her hard work in making this trip a reality.
My journey truly began when my guide, Leonard, picked me up from the airport. The moment we started the five-hour drive deep into the Namib desert, I knew I was in good hands. Leonard is more than just a tour guide; he's a natural storyteller with an infectious charisma. The long drive flew by, filled with fascinating conversations, his fantastic selection of music, and his expert navigation of the rough gravel roads. Throughout the entire trip, he was not only a great conversationalist but also a patient and knowledgeable companion, always willing to pull over and help me line up the perfect photo or share interesting facts about the local wildlife. His keen eye for spotting animals from a distance was truly impressive and resulted in some of my favorite shots.
Our first major stop was the iconic Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. Leonard's savvy timing was impeccable, as he made sure we arrived early enough to beat the major crowds, allowing me to fully soak in the silence and scale of the dunes in the soft morning light. The sheer magnitude of the red dunes against the bright blue sky was breathtaking, and the stark, sculptural beauty of the ancient camel thorn trees in Deadvlei was unlike anything I had ever seen. While a surprise gust of wind cut our attempt to summit Big Daddy Dune short, the thrill of the climb was an adventure in itself. We then visited Sesriem Canyon, where Leonard pointed out the astonishing catfish that somehow survive in that harsh, arid environment—a truly unique and memorable detail.
The next leg of the journey took us to the coast, with an unexpected and delightful bonus. After a long drive to Swakopmund, Leonard surprised me with a personalized tour of Walvis Bay. He drove me to the salt flats, showed me around the city itself, and took me to a flamingo park where hundreds of flamingos created a stunning pink spectacle against the water. It was a thoughtful and wonderful addition to the itinerary. The following day, we headed up the Skeleton Coast, where we met Leonard's coworker, Froggy. Froggy, another fantastic guide, was incredibly funny and charismatic, taking us on a thrilling tour through the dunes. His sense of humor and warmth made the experience an absolute blast, culminating in a delicious lunch served at the "desert restaurant," a secluded and perfectly prepared meal that felt both rustic and elegant.
The tour's grand finale was at Spitzkoppe, where Leonard timed our arrival with cinematic perfection. We entered the park just as the sun began its descent, bathing the dramatic granite peaks in a golden and fiery glow. It was, without a doubt, one of the most stunning sunsets I have ever witnessed. As twilight deepened, the real magic began. Far from any light pollution, we did some stargazing, and for the first time in my life, I saw the majestic band of the Milky Way stretching across the sky. The trip concluded with a final city tour of Windhoek, where Leonard shared some final insights before dropping me off at my hotel.
For anyone looking to experience the magic of Namibia, look no further. The tour's price was incredibly reasonable, especially considering the expert planning, personalized attention, and unforgettable experiences. People Tours and Safari truly delivers a high-quality, professional, and genuinely personal experience. I cannot recommend them enough and will absolutely be booking with them again on my next trip to Namibia!
Professional.
Leonard proved to be a professional guide with excellent knowledge and comunication skills.

Amazing
Very good and safe drivers.
Amazing Nature and animals
Amazing and well informed with a calm spirit
My experience resumed before we got Namibia,the warmth communication with Emilia was outstanding. She is kind hearted and patient with PTS clients. As we got to Hosea Kutako international airport, we were welcomed by our tour guide Luke Nashongo. Luke took us to meet Emilia and we explored the Namibian market at the china city where we fell in love with the Namibian traditional dresses, very nice. We proceeded to SOLITAIRE with Luke, capturing memories all the way. Luke is very patient considering that we are ladies and like pictures he didn’t mind. We lodged at NAMIB DESSERT LODGE, the next morning we went to visit all Sand Dunes, Mommy Dunes, Dunes 45 and Big Daddy Dunes with our fitness trainer/tour guide Luke😀, he gave us the best experience. What stood out for was his patience when one struggling on the sandy hills of the Dunes, he was very patient and he captured good memories for us at Sossusvlei and Deadvlei at Big Daddy Dunes. We advanced to the Sesriem Canyon🥰nice experience. Luke wanted to make sure that we do not miss out anything. He really created a great experience for myself and my friends. The next day we passed by the Tropic of Capricorn and learned about the Quiver tree, while proceeding to the DareDavil Adventures for an amazing quad bike ride on the Sand Dunes. Walvis Bay was our next destination were we explored the cruise, and we moved to the Pink lake with David also, the best tour guide to the Sandwich harbour, woow, what a drive we explored there on the sand dunes and we had a great time picnic at the Sandwich Harbour by the Ocean, 🌊 I didn’t want to go back. The pink lake is something else, a very nice spot to capture memories. Overall I would like to thank Luke Nashongo, David and Emilia. Luke has a good heart is your go to when traveling with PTS . Good vibes at WalvisBay your go to Man is David😍 he will give you a good picnic ✋🏾. Thanks you PTS 🇳🇦, I enjoyed my stay with you. Thank you Luke for your kind heart ❤️.

excellent price-quality ratio
Budget safari that provides. We were accomodated in good-quality tents. Lodge area had good facilities: a decent restaurant, clean wc:s and showers with hot water. Our guide Tuhafeni was a helpful, hard-working professional and a generally nice guy. Even when the conditions were not ideal because of the recent rains, we were able to see lots of animals.

The perfect birthday trip thanks to Captain Léo
Having had the opportunity to travel to 25 countries, I decided for the first time to go through an agency to organise my trip. Because of a lack of time, due to professional and personal commitments, I wanted to take this task off my hands.
I have to admit that after so many mistakes during the organisation, I almost didn't want to come to Namibia any more. I was very worried and tired of having had to invest so much time in the organisation, even though I had paid for a service.
Luckily, Léonard was my guide. I really felt like I'd picked the right number in the lottery. Thanks to him, and I'd like to thank him very much, I was finally able to relax and experience the trip I'd dreamed of taking. Right from the start, he took great care of me.
He's very observant and a good listener, and was very quick to spot what we liked and didn't like. We always had snacks and drinks to suit our tastes.
He's not one of those guides who just drops you off and picks you up once the tour/activity is over. He took part in all the visits/activities he was able to do with us. One of the best things about him (and there are several) is that he seems to be discovering the place for the first time. He's not bored by the riches his country has to offer. It's so nice to have a cheerful guide, who continues to immortalise places and moments and who plays a big part in getting you photos worthy of a professional 😊
He experienced things intensely, sometimes more than we did. For example, on our first day of Safari in Etosha Park, he was disappointed that we hadn't seen more animals. We had stars in our eyes at having had the chance and privilege to see giraffes, elephants, a lioness, zebras... He also readapted the timetable on days 3 and 4 to give us even more of a chance to see animals we hadn't yet seen. Luckily he has a good eye (not like BIG EYES 😳 - private joke) and knows how to spot animals from very far away. Without him, we would have missed a lot of them.
He's always looking for ways to give you great, unforgettable experiences, even when it's out of his hands (wildlife is unpredictable and animals are not at our disposal).
Léo constantly readapted the programme (while keeping to what was planned) so that we could make the most of it and so that it suited our desires. He was also able to give us space when we wanted it (not always easy for introverts or people who are used to travelling alone to be with a guide).
Léo is a beautiful person, with a beautiful soul, always looking for something better, always willing to share his knowledge if you ask him to.
I really felt like I was travelling with a friend, who luckily had a sense of humour. For me, a day without laughter is a day lost. There wasn't a single day when we didn't share a laugh, and that felt really good. We all shared the same delusions as if we'd been friends for a long time.
It's also lucky that we have the same taste in music and that he's open to listening to new sounds (I was surprised to find that he had downloaded albums of singers I love so that we could listen to them during the journey).
The restaurants were always carefully chosen. And he sometimes changed his original plans, to please us even more and surprise us.
We had the opportunity to eat in some very nice places where the food was good.
Thank you Captain Veggies for these moments of sharing, for discovering your country and for your kindness. You made my trip pleasant and soothing.
I'll remember my birthday trip and all the moments we shared for a long time.
Namibia really is an extraordinary country, with varied landscapes, each more beautiful than the last, and lovely locals (which is not the case everywhere, believe me).
As we agreed, we'll keep in touch and share our travels...
See you soon - From Strong Girl 💪🏼

The best experience we’ve had in Namibia
The tour was fantastic. The guide was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. The tour started on time, and the food was delicious. The guide took us to beautiful spots for photos and showed us local wildlife. We had a great time and highly recommend People Tours And Safari.
Well-Organized and Enjoyable Tour Experience
The tour was a great experience overall. Leonard was excellent at managing both time and logistics, which made the entire experience feel smooth and stress-free. I appreciated how he kept things moving efficiently while also allowing enough time to truly enjoy each stop.
Namibia itself is absolutely breathtaking, and I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Amazing experience
Our 5 days tour to the Namib desert and the coast has been just amazing!
Emilia has been very professional and helpful during tour preparation, communication with her has been great. She picked up great hotels to stay in and accommodated all our requests.
Our guide, Tuhafeni, has been exceptional – very friendly and knowledgeable, it has been a pleasure to spend 5 days with him.
There was a lot of driving, but we have never felt the fatigue, the landscape is amazing and we had a great time.
Everything was perfectly organised and flawless.
I am very happy I chose to organise the tour with People Tours and Safari, and I would recommend to anyone wishing to visit Namibia!
