Highly Recommend! CrissCross delivered a personalized & absolutely magical trip to Namibia!
André and Michelle impressed us immediately! Before they suggested our itinerary, they took the time to get to know our family and really listened to what we were looking for in our trip to Namibia. Traveling with teens, we needed to balance safari with active adventures - CrissCross delivered a fantastic itinerary to enjoy the wonderful diversity of Namibia. The lodges / accomodations, food & hospitality were excellent! André & Michelle also organized a couple of special surprises for my boys at the lodges to celebrate their birthdays.
We spent 12 days in Namibia with our amazing guide, Maddie. As a local, she shared all about the history of Namibia, while showing us the beautiful landscape & pointing out game. She also added some personal touches like taking us to a local vinyard - a wonderful and special treat! And it was a very special time to visit Namibia as it had just rained after a 7 year drought. So we had the opportunity to see "green" Namibia. It made it a bit more challenging to see game, but the landscape was absolutely breathtaking!
Our trip was a perfect balance of game drives and adventures in the dunes. We started off with the safari portion of our trip heading to N/a'an Ku Se, Okonjati, Onguma and Etosha - each with their own private game drives and special activites (lion feeding, sundowners, bush dinner, etc.). Then we headed to Damaraland and the spectacular red rocks & cave art before starting our dune adventures. Our teen boys especially loved the adventures that had been organized out of Swakopmund & Sossuvlei - 4X4 in the dunes, fat biking in the dunes, quads & a hot air balloon ride. My teens were ready for more, so they ran up Big Daddy Dune and "skied" down while we visited Deadsvlei. Our last stop was the Kalahari desert before our guide took us to one of her favorite restaurants in Windhoek.
We absolutely loved our vacation and highly recommend CrissCross to deliver a truly personalized vacation!
