“Waylon was a great resource - history, wildlife, birding, photography help and a lot of fun.”
This 18-day guided safari took two travellers on a wide-ranging journey through Namibia, travelling in a Prado with their private guide, Waylon. From the iconic dunes of Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei to the rugged landscapes of Damaraland and the cultural heart of Kaokoland, the route showcased the country’s remarkable diversity before continuing east to Etosha and the central highlands.
Highlights included time at Dead Valley Lodge near Sossusvlei, remote stays at Madisa Camp and Palmwag Lodge, wildlife encounters around Hobatere, and a comfortable finish at Villa Mushara and Otjiwa Mountain Lodge. The itinerary allowed for unhurried travel days and generous downtime at lodges - something the travellers came to appreciate as part of Namibia’s rhythm.
Exceptional guiding by Waylon added depth throughout the journey, with his knowledge of history, wildlife, birdlife and photography enhancing each day. Combined with consistently high standards of hospitality, service and infrastructure, the trip delivered a relaxed yet immersive experience that exceeded expectations.
