We will only have access to the rim, but the views are spectacular.Transport - Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.Activity - The Quiver Tree takes its name from its Afrikaans name, Kokerboom, which is a reference to the indigenous San peoples’ practice of hollowing out the tubular branches to make quivers for their arrows (they’re known as choje in the San language). All of the trees in the forest are naturally occurring and self-propagating. You’ll find young trees growing out of rock crevasses. The oldest trees in the forest are estimated to be between 200 and 300 years old. The unusual micro-ecosystem this forest creates also attracts a surprising abundance of wildlife, most notably a large population of rock hyrax, which hikers will almost certainly find (or hear) scurrying among the rocks.Activity - Close your eyes for a moment and imagine a group of young giants frolicking amongst stone formations. Leaping from pedestal to pedestal and crouching behind the stones during a game of hide and seek. This geological phenomenon is named Giant's Playground because of the way the series of dolerite boulders have been packed as though someone was playing a really over-the-top version of Jenga. Visit this series of formations and a rock maze just outside of Keetmanshoop.Accommodation - Quiver Inn Guesthouse

The itinerary was too quick and I felt I didn't get to experience Namibia. The days of travelling were longer than stated. It seemed that times stated on the itinerary were driving time but when you factor in stopping for breaks/lunch the travelling days were much longer. There was no cultural aspect to the trip. I left without knowing anything about Namibia or Namibian people.

The entire experience was absolutely fantastic! Our CEO, Bryson, was top notch. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and an absolutely outstanding leader for the trip. He went above and beyond in every regard to make sure the trip was outstanding. Beyond that, the trip was well organized and we made stops at all of the destinations I was interested in going to. On another note, Bryson was excellent at helping us to book excursions as well as making sure that everything was running in a timely manner. 10/10.

An important decision in selecting a G Adventures tour is to carefully determine the age group, the length of the tour and itinerary and the cost factor. Our group aged from approx. 35-75, the length of the tour was just right, and the cost was very competitive.
