We did the Highlights of Namibia 11 day tour as part of a group of six, plus our very knowledgeable guide and driver, Gerhardus, who we highly recommend. We travelled in a modified long wheel base Toyota Land Cruiser, with a pop top for game viewing.Be prepared for driving on unsealed roads for much of the trip, which is part of the African experience. The lunch time picnics on travel days were amazing and there were plenty of stops to break up the journey. It was wonderful to arrive at our luxurious accommodation in the most interesting places, with delicious food and friendly staff to attend to our every need. Staying two nights at each destination was ideal.This tour takes in the magnificent landscapes and landforms of Namibia as well as game viewing and is well punctuated half way in the coastal town of Swakopmund.We highly recommend Bench Africa in Australia and Ultimate Safaris who operated the tour in Namibia and would not hesitate to travel with them again. There were many personalised touches before, during and after our tour, which made our experience even more memorable.
