Another great trip

Namibia and 2 other countries between 20 Jan 2012 and 12 Mar 2012

Trip rating: Excellent
"All went according to plan with no problems. We have highlighted only 2 things that were not up to standard but not of your doing.
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the organisation by yourselves was first class as always.

We asked for our documentation to be sent early as we were leaving our home in Portugal a few days before the part of our holiday that you organised and it arrived even earlier than we expected. Thank you for that.

Can't wait for the next one!



Cannot think of anything."

Damaraland Camp

Damaraland Camp

"Wonderful place"

2 nights Arrived 21 Jan 2012
"A really great camp run by an efficient and very friendly team. The manager Maggy deserves a special mention as she runs what it seems is a very happy place.

We will not forget the first mornings breakfast when we were taken to the top of a hill and everything was laid out including a fire to cook by. All done just for us two. We then had a super game drive with Willem and spent sometime watching the elephants playing at a waterhole. A truly magical experience for our all too short time there and is a place we would love to revisit."

Dolomite Camp

"A very different NWS camp in Etosha"

2 nights Arrived 23 Jan 2012
"This a new camp in the Western side of Etosha and very different from the other government run camps in the park that we have been to.

The accomodation is excellent but we do not think that guests with mobility problems would be too comfortable. There is a golf buggy to take guests from the car park but there are a lot of steps to reception then the restaurant and bar. The bungalows are then very spread out and the paths are steep in places and quite uneven.

However the setting at the top of the hill is lovely with great views as you would expect. The staff are very enthusiastic and quite different to our previous experience at the older camps."

Camp Kwando

"A disappointment"

1 night Arrived 28 Jan 2012
"The staff were very good and helpful but they were let down by a very indifferent management. There was no atmosphere which stemmed from the management who did not seem to have a lot of interest in us or their job.

Our guide Costa was excellent as was the food and the serving staff. It is a shame that they were let down. Please be aware that if you visit in the rainy season there is no roof on the bathroom! A place we would not revisit."

Nxamaseri Lodge

"Great time at Nxamaseri"

2 nights Arrived 2 Feb 2012
"We met our guide at the main road as arranged and he was spot on time wise. As we had 4x4 we followed him to the river and left our car there. The trip then by boat to the lodge was amazing and to come round a bend in the river and see the lodge overlooking the river was super.

The management Justine and Chris (relief) could not do enough for us. We could go out on the river when we wanted. The atmosphere was friendly and very helpful and we felt relaxed and comfortable. The guiding was very good and knowledgeable. On leaving we were given packed lunches for which they refused to charge us.

A definite place to return."

Eningu Clayhouse

"A unexpected pleasant surprise"

1 night Arrived 5 Feb 2012
"We were expecting an average place near the airport for our last night but we could not have been more wrong. It is really wonderful to come across somewhere like this. After 65km on a gravel road we were so surprised to find Eningu.

The rooms were large and well equipped and comfortable. We received a very warm welcome and were only sorry that we only had one night to enjoy this oasis in the desert. We were the only guests on that night but the lodge was prepared as if it was full. Dinner was excellent and breakfast buffet also.

A definite place on our return list to spend longer there."
