Absolute amazing tour to beautiful Spitzkoppe mountains! We had a great day with our guide JP from the Red Dune Safaris. JP was very welcoming, funny and friendly guide. Great driver too. He took us to different interesting places along the way, shared his knowledge and made great conversation. Everything was greatly planned and yet relaxed. We would definitely recommend his services.

Wonderful tour to Spitzkoppe with JP Koch of Red Dunes Safaris on 21st November. 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!

We would highly recommend this tour to young and not so young alike!!

Jean Pierre ( JP) was an outstanding tour guide ...where nothing was too much trouble! We did the Spitzkoppe Guided Tour and marvelled at the rock formations, cave paintings and scenery. He tailored our itinary not only to what we wanted to see but our physical ability! He provided an excellent lunch with wine and beer in an awesome location. If you are visiting Namibia...then Red Dune Safaris are highly recommended ! Thank you JP
