"Fantastic Holiday - highly recommended"
I visited Namibia between 17 Jul 2016 and 26 Jul 2016
"Maruska selected very nice but reasonable accommodation. It made it hassle free by having car, accommodation, most meals and a few tours all packaged up for us. Well done.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Just one - on your guide book it states the closest fuel station to refuel the hire car is Windhoek. Well the good news is a new one has opened right near the airport and its 24 hour service." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"Days to Remember in Namibia"
I visited Namibia between 8 May 2016 and 30 May 2016
"This trip was truly a most rewarding experience, we both were enthralled by the journey and the sights we were able to see.
The trip was very well planned and organised, and offered a really in-depth insight into Namibia and its wildlife and stunning scenery.
We covered a lot of ground in our in Namibia, and whilst distance itself is not a problem, the state of the roads can make road travel very demanding. If we are able to return again I would seriously consider flying in and out to the lodges.
Our thanks go to Elizabeth for producing a very detailed travel plan and itinerary" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 22 on a Namibia trip

"Another wonderful holiday"
I visited Namibia between 26 Apr 2016 and 8 Jun 2016
"This was our third trip arranged by Maruska, and like the other trips, the arrangements were excellent. Maruska gave us some great advice on our route and places to stay. We were provided with a map showing our route with driving times were were spot on. We did have a GPS with us but probably did not need it as the directions provided were very clear. The trip went very smoothly, all arrangements went as planned.
If you've noticed a 2 week gap in our accommodations it's because we spent that time after Upington in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park which we booked ourselves.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Spell check on the feedback form does not work.
When proof reading reviews I discovered that if I made changes then clicked ""Back to previous page"" to proof another review, the changes were not saved. Could this be fixed?
Everything else is great! We love getting the brochure and the information on the website is very good." Read full review: 43 nights in Africa; 27 on a Namibia trip

"A too short visit to an amazing country"
I visited Namibia between 7 Feb 2016 and 16 Feb 2016
"An excellent trip. We loved Namibia and the people. The scenery is second to none. Of course, a few more days would have been even better, but the amount of driving was easily copable in the time available.
Many thanks to Tracey for supporting an excellent itinerary in a reduced time span at relatively short notice.
We were surprised but pleased to be met at Windhoek Airport by Costa from Wilderness safaris, who helped us through the vehicle pick up process. And the choice of vehicle was excellent (Toyota 4x4)
The marked route map was very valuable and we were also very pleased to have the Bradt Guide.
One small route point - the C12 from Fish River to the Keetmanshoop - Aus Road has now been rerouted to meet the main road 12 km from Seeheim - the old D545 - presumably to accommodate the traffic for the vast agricultural project. So Seeheim is now even more off the map but we had a good lunch stop there (or, rather ,coffee and apple cake!) and were well welcomed.
And a very minor point - most places don't provide hair dryers. It didn't matter to me but might affect others." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia Feb 16"
I visited Namibia between 6 Feb 2016 and 25 Feb 2016
"Generally all the hotels and lodges suggested by EA and we stayed at were very, very good on the whole. It was a good itinerary but some of the drives between stops took longer than we thought they would.
Great views great scenery. Beautiful game-but its not like the Mara or some where like that-because its very different climate." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"3 weeks in Namibia"
I visited Namibia between 5 Feb 2016 and 25 Feb 2016
"Namibia 5th-25th February 2016.
Amazing holiday, we will be back.
Holiday exceeded our expectations in almost every aspect. Stunning varied country. Charming people. Self driving much easier than expected regardless of the 3000km covered. Felt safe and secure at all times, Friendly well stocked garages. The exchange with GDP made this an extremely reasonable holiday.
Highlights.Nice Restaurant, Windhoek. Wolwedans Lodge. Anchors Restaurant, Walvis Bay. Doro Nawas. 3hr old baby elephant.
Lion kill, Hobatere. For comfort we recommend, Ongava, Musharraf & Okonjima Lodges. Grootberg was a disappointment and Oyster Box let down by it's staff." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"Self drive round Southern Namibia"
I visited Namibia between 31 Jan 2016 and 10 Feb 2016
"This was a hugely pleasurable trip - self drive proved fine ( we enjoyed being able to go where we wanted and when - and we didn't break down!) - and the desert scenery was magnificent. The lodges were all very good and all had charming and helpful staff.
Our only suggestion is that our itinerary could have been improved so that we could have fitted in a trip to Swakomund in the same 10 day period." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip
