everything about our trip was perfect. Dennis our guide full of charm & knowledge. at our first stop to see the flamingoes, he invited us all (4 people in a 4 x 4) to take off our socks & shoes off. the whole of the rest of the trip was barefoot. i cannot recommend a private 4 x 4 trip enough and if you get Dennis as your guide, you have cracked it. Saw all the animals and more, even Dennis could not believe it. Humback whales out at sea, to a juvenile Humback that was stranded on the beach. a very sad site to see as it was clearly in distress. saw Jackals, Oryx, Cormorants, Seals, Flamingoes, Pelicans. lunch provided by Dennis on the sand dunes was superb as was his driving on the beach & over the dunes. scary at times but Dennis handled it all brilliantly. A super day out and deffo recommend it

This was an absolute mind blowing experience. If we could give it 6 stars we would. Once in the road our local guide was excellent in every way. We have traveled extensively and rate this day trip as one of the best we have ever done. Suggest that you hang on :) Thanks guys for all. Arne and Steve

We had a blaste day with Dennis! He is super kind und very good informed about everything. He also managed upcoming problems (like a flat tire) quickly. Thank you so much Dennis for everything :)
