My Aug 2012 trip

Namibia between 6 Aug 2012 and 17 Aug 2012

Trip rating: Good
"it was very well organized in terms of logistics. Given our particular interest, Swakopmund could have been skipped and the stop over in Windhoek reduced. The visit to Bushman land and activities a must . A visit to the Himbas was missed.

Very good choice with the hotels and the lodge in spite of the food. As noted, a 2 W drive car is not recommended.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Everything went as expected. I appreciate you help."

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 6 Aug 2012
"pretty good overall. slightly away from downtown Windhoek although an attentive service, nice and comfortable rooms and good food more than compensate for the short trip. very pleasant and relaxing environment. moreover, the sister Boutique Olive hotel next door even nicer. we had breakfast last day and was really good.
great choice."

Nhoma Camp

Nhoma Camp

"Nhoma Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 7 Aug 2012
"An A+ to Nhoma Camp. In addition to very decent facilities i.e tents, bathroom, dining room, Arno and Stelle's hospitality, attentiveness and awareness of little details made the stay very pleasant. it was cold at night (minus 2 -3C) and beds were warmed up with bottles of hot water.

Food quite good and service simple but also attentive. Definitively a great choice.

The visits to the village and the activities very rewarding as well."

"Charming hotel with a great common area, very decent food and great wine selection. Rooms comfortable but no frills. We had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay and Sam was very helpful. A little far from downtown Swankopmund."
