“Nice visit to himba village (popular to tourists) and spitzkoppe mountains. Guide offered us drinks and food, was very sociable and explained us a lot about life in Namibia. The description of the tour mentioned a visit to the mine, but that was not the case. (Because there was no permit) All in all too expensive, for something you can probably do by yourself.”

Promptly picking us up from our guesthouse in Swakopmund, JP was extremely courteous and attentive, providing an informative unhurried service throughout and proved great company for my husband and I as we learnt more about life in Namibia whilst being shown some interesting and amazing places en route to Spitzkoppe that we simply would not have seen without him. The full day out amongst the most wonderful scenery neared conclusion with a exquisite savoury and sweet spread accompanied by a bottle (for us!) of fizz in a spectacular setting. Marvellous. Thank you JP!Read more”
