Testimonial: Magic in the desert

Oct 2025 • Friends

We had a wonderful trek in the Naukluft National park and the moon valley and khan river valley. My favourite camp was at Spitzkoppe although it’s so hard to choose. The scenery and magical places were spectacular. Ellen and her fantastic team all worked so hard to enable us to camp and eat in style. Fancy having pancakes in the middle of a desert. Sockets in trees at one camp. The tents were large and spacious and the bed comfortable.
I wouldn’t have made the olive grove boulder walk without Uno who helped us all. There were challenges which make you feel proud of yourself.
Thanks also to Theo our fabulous team leader.
Our group was supportive and such fun.
Unmissable holiday for everyone.
I’m 71 with a pacemaker but still climbed Big Daddy and the chains to the cave paintings.
Try it yourself one day.

Testimonial: Khan river adventure

Jun 2025 • Business
Wild Cherry Adventures did an outstanding job organizing our recent class trip. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well planned, allowing both students and teachers to relax and fully enjoy the experience. The team was fantastic with the kids. They were patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in making the trip special for everyone.

Our journey through the Khan River, hiking through the breathtaking canyons each day, was a true adventure. While the hikes were challenging, they were made manageable by the thoughtfully planned breaks and the stunning natural surroundings. The students had a wonderful time and made memories they’ll never forget.

Thank you to the entire Wild Cherry Adventures team for providing such a meaningful and unforgettable experience!

Testimonial: Simply unbeatable!

May 2025 • Friends
Wild, bright and adventurous. Wild Cherry Adventures lives up to its name. The 12-day tour was simply marvellous. From Windhoek we went hiking in the Naukluft Park, on to Big Daddy, the highest dune in Sossus Vlei. This was followed by Dead Vlei, Kuiseb Canyon, Swakopmund, Moon Valley and Khan River - through gorges and desert, stony valleys, ever-changing rock formations to end in the Spitzkoppe Mountains. All the destinations were well chosen and easy to manage. Ellen, Uno, George, Steve and Matthew were an incredible crew, relaxed, always friendly, the best guides, cooks and organisers. They showed us their Namibia and made our souls shine. You are in the very best hands with them. And of course, no evening is complete without a sundowner!
