Amazing trip

Namibia between 8 Jul 2014 and 16 Jul 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"Our Namibia trip was so interesting and absolutely gorgeous in the red desert ( my favourite ) and Etosha was almost too much to believe. I found the big waterhole almost like a Disney movie. Never seen anything like it!

Everything went well. Our scenic flights were wonderful even with some fog/haze. All the accommodation very beautiful. The people and history most interesting.

Very well organized by Maruska . We felt very well taken care of.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Sorry it was too well organized."

"Lovely setting"

2 nights Arrived 9 Jul 2014
"Our guide was fantastic! The best of the whole trip. I forget his name unfortunately but he reminded me of Eddie Murphy, the American actor / comedian. Very knowledgeable, very funny. Learned a lot from him.

It was difficult getting the meals clarified even with prior information about my food restrictions. This lead to some awkward (for staff) pre meal discussions. Could have been avoided.

I'm a sensitive person so perhaps I would feel this more than others but I didn't get the feeling that the staff enjoyed their work or working in that environment . There was a tension in the place I didn't experience elsewhere. While I was using the computer next to the office I heard on several occasions one staff person (manager?) scolding another very loudly."

"A different experience"

1 night Arrived 15 Jul 2014
"This was a large operation and didn't feel as personal as the other places. Beautiful facility. Very nice and hardworking guide. I was surprised how hard it was to find cheetahs and the next day how hard to find leopards. In the literature it makes it sound like they're everywhere.

We had a problem getting into the property as the gate wouldn't open. We sat in the very hot sun with cars lining up behind us and with not much information from the people we called. Eventually they did come and open the gate and we did have a good time there. But probably liked it the least of all the other places we stayed. But it was still very nice. We did finally see cheetah cubs and the next day my daughter finally saw a leopard"
