My Oct 2015 trip

Namibia between 23 Oct 2015 and 8 Nov 2015

Trip rating: Good
"Car Hire by Bidvest. We ask for a car where all the windows wind completely down. As keen photographers this gives the window sill to steady the camera. Bidvest receptionist assured us that the Toyota Etios did this. The rear windows did not wind right down which meant trying to balance our long lenses on the edge of a pane of glass which also was rounded, hence a bit of a nightmare.

Basically we loved the trip but but the generator problem and the window problem detracted a little."

Okaukuejo Camp

Okaukuejo Camp

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

10 nights Arrived 27 Oct 2015
"Receptionist brilliant in getting us nine nights in one room (W9). Room kept spotless by maid.

Sadly the generator varied from inconsistent to non-existent which meant petrol pumps hardly worked and no water, only a problem with flushing. Also no means of paying by credit card. We suspect many people transferred to Halali and Namutoni.

Food was being thrown away in the little shop because it had thawed out. Sad"

Naankuse (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Naankuse ok"

1 night Arrived 4 Nov 2014
"Returned since last year we had an enjoyable walking safari with Caracal cat,wanted to do the same with cheatah this year but it was not on offer.

30 km drive from the main road seemed to go on for ever but the dirt road was good,not sure what would have happen if it had rained. Staff did a great job cleaning the car inside and out. Not sure we would return.

Evening meal average but cheese salad packed lunch fantastic."

Tofts to Namibia

Namibia between 3 Nov 2013 and 23 Nov 2013

Trip rating: Excellent
"All worked out very well. Toyota Corolla was perfectly adequate, the two passes have new surfaces so no trouble,most dirt roads very good but two sections on Klein Aus to Sesriem corrugated.

Discovered at Solitaire we had lost our oil filler cap but mechanic fixed a temporary repair which lasted for the remaining 2500km.

Disappointed the Budget office in Walvis Bay shut since wanted to talk about the cap.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Thought Angela was brilliant,very helpful and quick to reply."

"27 km off the main road but a good choice for the airport. Staff friendly and helpful. Garden lad washed our filthy car to make it look like new.

All animals seen on game activities were in very good health and well looked after. Felt activities were a bit pricey but they have a lot of animals to look after. First time we have taken a Caracal for a walk, lovely."
