Private driver or arranged transfer
Best for a park, mountain, desert or remote arrival point

Best when the destination controls final access
Ask the accommodation, guide or activity provider at Walvis Bay whether it offers pickup from Fish River Canyon or from a nearer gateway.

- Is this one continuous journey to Walvis Bay, or will I change vehicles, terminals, airports, ferries or drivers along the way?
- What is included in the quoted price, and can fuel, tolls, border charges, parking, waiting time or luggage create an extra payment?
- What luggage is accepted for this service, where will it be stored, and what happens if a bag is oversized, fragile or delayed?
- Who is responsible for the final handover in Walvis Bay, and which working telephone number and fallback meeting point should I save?
