He always meets our requirements and schedules, was on time and very kind. He took us all of places we wanted to visit!!

3 day budget camping trip to Sossusvlei
We did a 3 day budget tour of Sossusvlei from Windhoek. Our guide Matheus was amazing. His knowledge of everything we encountered was impressive. He was very accommodating and allowed us the time to see what we wanted to see. He also made great suggestions to ensure we saw the highlights. The camping set up was pretty basic, but we have done lots of rough camping so we were completely fine with that and loved the idea of camping in Africa. Matheus worked hard to make sure we were looked after. Sesriem is the closest town to Sossusvlei and in this package it allows you to camp inside the first gate, giving you earlier access in the morning. Sesriem is a fairly long drive from Windhoek, but allows you the chance to see some amazing sites and experience natural Namibia. Sossusvlei is an incredible experience. Absolutely worth the effort to get there.

Wonderful tour!
This was an excellent tour. Leonard was a great guide and he was knowledgable, helpful, punctual and funny. He was also easygoing and accomodating. Some of the trip is long car rides, but they are fine as he was a great driver. I would book this tour again in a heartbeat!

Unprofessional Company
My friend and I recently booked a camping trip with People Tour and Safaris, and unfortunately, our experience was not what we had expected. Our guide was extremely unprofessional throughout the duration of the trip. Not only did he make us (two women) feel extremely uncomfortable with his borderline sexist remarks and weird comments, but overall just did not seem enthusiastic whatsoever about his job or the fact that he had to be there. He complained when setting up the tents, then again when we brought up the idea of building a fire. Plus, in the evenings, we noticed him drinking (alcohol), although we have since learned this is against company policy. When we raised these concerns to management after our trip had ended, they simply denied the allegations we had raised and then just stopped responding to our emails altogether. While the camping itself was enjoyable, be warned when booking with People Tour and Safari that the experience may not be exactly what you expect.
Response from the operator: We are very much delight to hear that you have enjoy your Safari. We would like to inform our travelers out there that we have never experience such immoral behavior from our guides, and that you safe to travel with us. Kindly please note that our guides never consume alcoholic beverages its against our company policy. We would like to advise you that unfortunately the same guide who went with them on their Safari has resigned and no longer working for our company. Our message to all our travelers out there is to book with us to have the best experience and remarkable safari with us.

3-Day Sossusvlei & Deadvlei Shared Desert Tour from Windhoek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Windhoek.
How much does 3-Day Sossusvlei & Deadvlei Shared Desert Tour from Windhoek cost?
+
Prices start at $1499 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Windhoek usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Day Sossusvlei & Deadvlei Shared Desert Tour from Windhoek take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Windhoek is not rushed.
Is 3-Day Sossusvlei & Deadvlei Shared Desert Tour from Windhoek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Windhoek, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Sossusvlei & Deadvlei Shared Desert Tour from Windhoek?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3-Day Sossusvlei & Deadvlei Shared Desert Tour from Windhoek suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Sossusvlei & Deadvlei Shared Desert Tour from Windhoek?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Windhoek can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Windhoek and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Sossusvlei & Deadvlei Shared Desert Tour from Windhoek start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Windhoek within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Windhoek?
+
On Outty we rank every Windhoek experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Windhoek City Tour, Windhoek Historical City Tour Plus Township Tour !, Half-Day Windhoek City and Township Cultural Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Windhoek?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Windhoek?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
