Extremely Stressful Experience Before a Once-in-a-Lifetime Trip

I booked a 3-day Sossusvlei and Namib Desert tour for December 24, 2025 with Beyond Africa Safaris on August 13, 2025—more than four months in advance. The booking was confirmed by their agent, Raymond Kabura, who acknowledged receipt of payment and confirmed our seats. On December 23, 2025—just one day before departure—the same agent contacted me via WhatsApp to say that the shuttle bus was full and that there were no seats available for my wife and me. He suggested either rescheduling or canceling the tour. When I asked how this was possible given that our seats had been confirmed months earlier, I received no response. As our Africa trip had been planned well in advance, changing dates was not an option. After a prolonged and stressful exchange of messages, the agent eventually arranged transport to the desert lodge through a questionable third-party cab company, allowing us to proceed with the tour. Being informed just one day before departure that a confirmed booking could not be honored is unacceptable, unprofessional, and deeply disappointing. Based on this experience, I would strongly advise others to avoid this tour operator.

Nambi desert experience

A fantastic experience spending time in the desert and the lodge was wonderful with great trails from just outdide the lodge. But the most wonderful experience was climbing big daddy dune then being met with the view of deadvlei which are amazing

Loved every moment

It was an amazing tour. First of all it was very easy to find the driver at Windhoek Truckport and he drove us directly to the Namib Desert Lodge. In the evening we did the Namib Desert Safari and saw many Oryxes, Gnus and Antillopes and could take amazing pictures with the Sunset. On the Second day we started early at 6 to go to the Big Daddy Dune and Dead Vlei. We had 2 hours and it took us 1.5 hours to climb up Big Daddy. Afterwards our guide took us to a picnic and gave us a lot of amazing food for lunch. And afterwards we visited the Sesriem Canyon. All in all the tour was totally worth it and the staff at the Namib Desert Lodge are very nice and helpful and I enjoyed our stay there

A wonderful and enriching experience

This is a wonderful experience. From departure from Windhoek to each of the excursion, I was impressed by the professionalism of drivers, guides, and hotel staff. Viva is an outstanding tour guide. He took care of every detail in a dilligent manner. Viva is knowledgeable and safety conscious. Not a single flaw could be identified. Very friendly guy who always walked the extra mile to make us experience the most wonderful tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Good package, with time for climbing Big Daddy's Dune

Good package of shuttle, accommodation, meals, tours. Could have been cheaper if booking everything myself.
