5.0/5Superb and professional service, making a Namibian experience truly amazing!
The tour operator is a consummate professional. All the arrangements for housing, travel, logistics, etc. were handled with an attention to detail. Because of the care given to the careful planning of the tour, we had no concerns about anything except enjoying the splendid scenery and wildlife of Namibia. A major bonus is that the tour operator is so knowledgable about the history, culture and wildlife of Namibia. It was very enjoyable to experience this tour with him. If you want to have an incredible, mountain-top experience in Namibia, I encourage you to make arrangments with Evolution Travel and Tours.

Knowledgeable guide for unforgettable trip to Namib Naukluft Park, Sossusvlei, Sesriem
Good communication leading up to travel and the trip was certainly something that exceeded my expectations! The whole area is stunningly beautiful, and Scobie was a very knowledgeable guide and willing to answer all my questions throughout the journey (I had a lot). Lots of stops on the way to view wildlife and enjoy the landscapes. Climbing Big Daddy early in the morning was certainly a highlight and well worth it! Reuben is an excellent cook, and I was very happy with the camping experience.
