While in Walvis Bay overnight on a cruise ship, we used Alex of Okangala Tours for two days of private tours. Our experience was outstanding.
On the first day, we went to Dune 7, Namib Naukluft National Park, Swakop River basin, and Swakopund. The tour was repeatedly punctuated with interesting stops for plants, history and geography. We felt like we had a very enriching experience.
The second day we headed south to Sandwich Harbour. Besides seeing lots of pelicans, we saw a jackal eating its kill, ostrich, and other wildlife. We had a fabulous dune buggy experience, and had magnificent views of dunes, lagoons and the sea. Alex had many more interesting tidbits and stops for the highlights of the area. His commentary and knowledge added significantly to our experience.
Okangala Tours was top notch in every respect. The two vehicles we were in were well maintained, Alex's English was quite good, and his knowledge was top notch. The company was very responsive in arranging the tours and Alex was very prompt in meeting us. Overall we considered the two day experience to be a good value and one of our top tour company guides and companies on our trip.
