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!

Excellent tour operator. Criss Cross organized a fantastic and diversified trip in Namibia,
As we discovered the proposed tour " 16-day Namibian diversity" on Safaribookings, we contacted André and Michelle, owners of Criss Cross.
They were very reactive and always available.
We didn't change anything in the program which is both complete to discover most highlights of the country and to profit totally of each step.
Our guide and driver Dewald, a native Namibian, had an excellent knowledge of the country, geography, history, people and animals and provided us excellent explanation. But, first of all, he's a good, attentive and friendly person, we spent so good moments with him.
Organization was perfect with never any problem.
The choice of the lodges/hotels was also excellent: many were luxurious but not too expansive, some more modest but located in fantastic places and very confortable.
After one night in Windhoek, we spent 2 days at Mount Etjo safari lodge: it's a a very big private reserve where you can see most of wild animals, esp. rhinos during good shared game-drives.
At Etosha we stayed at Overland safari lodge, nice and luxurious, located in a private reserve. you can see rhinos coming very close to the lodge and the swimming-pool.
Grootberg lodge has probably one of the most fantastic view of Namibia,overlooking the Klip river valley. There, we would recommend rhino-tracking experience and the sundowner drive.
Perfectly integrated in the landscape of hills with big red boulders, Mowani mountain camp is one of our preferred lodges with also a fantastic view. They provide desert elephants game-drives with good chances to see them and visit of Twyfelfontein engraved rocks.
Cape cross gave us the opportunity to see thousands of seals, the lodge, comfortable, is located in the middle of nowhere, so exotic!
The Strand hotel in Swakopmund is extremely confortable with a see view. They have excellent restaurants esp. for see-foods and oysters.
From Swakopmund, we had a nice cruise in Walwis Bay and a so beautiful drive into the dunes of Sandwich harbor.
The Mirage is a very comfortable lodge, near Sossusvlei and close to the balloons safari departure. in a first time we didn't choose this balloon adventure, our guide recommended to do it, and it is really exceptional! Then, a drive to the so beautiful dunes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei.
Finally, we spent one night at Bagatelle boutique hotel, an excellent lodge in Kalahari. The last game drive...
It was a dream tour, certainly one of the best of our life.
Thanks Criss Cross, thanks Dewald
