Namibia Sept/Oct

Namibia between 27 Sep 2018 and 11 Oct 2018

Trip rating: Excellent
"This trip was throughly enjoyable. An experience we will never forget.

The highlights for us were the stunning beauty and variety of the landscapes, friendly people, amazing wildlife which we observed on organised game drives( also being able to do self drive game drives in Etosha was a treat) and very comfortable lodges. If you want a real adventure holiday Namibia is a must. Be prepared though for some long drives on dusty gravelled roads.

I would happily recommend Expert Africa and Wilderness Safaris to anyone wanting to visit Namibia.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No. You ticked all the boxes for us."

Okonjima Bush Camp

Okonjima Bush Camp

"Okonjima Bush Camp"

2 nights Arrived 28 Sep 2018
"Excellent lodge, very comfortable, friendly staff and very good food. The game drives were well organised and we had an excellent guide. We saw plenty of wildlife. You did have to drive a long time to find the tracked leopards. The night drive to the hide felt a bit stage managed as left over food was put out to attract the animals.

The visit to the Africat centre was interesting though sad to see some of the big cats would never be realised back into the wild.

Overall a great start to the holiday."

Mushara Bush Camp

Mushara Bush Camp

"Mushara Bush Camp"

1 night Arrived 30 Sep 2018
"We used Mushara Bush Camp as a base to explore Etosha NP. We drove ourselves into the game park and did not use any of the camps activities.

For that purpose the Camp was in a good location not far from the Etosha park entrance. Everything about the Camp was good except the room had no lock on the door and the safe didn’t work. So had to carry cameras and valuables with you at all times about the Camp."

Okaukuejo Camp

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

1 night Arrived 1 Oct 2018
"Rooms and restaurant adequate but not exciting. The waterhole was exceptional especially as we saw our first rhino in the wild.

The camp served its purpose as a base in the Etosha park with a very good floodlit waterhole.

No complaints."

Ongava Lodge

"Ongava Lodge"

2 nights Arrived 2 Oct 2018
"Great lodge with its own waterhole which during the day had many visiting animals which one could observe and photograph from nearby hide. Room ,food and staff excellent. Swimming pool small but very refreshing.

Game drives well organised with knowledgeable guides, not an abundance of wildlife but we did see both black and white rhinos and lions.

Watching 6 white rhinos while having a sundowner is an experience I will never forget."

2 nights Arrived 4 Oct 2018
"If you want a lodge in the wilderness this is the place. Very friendly staff and guides, excellent food the surprise evening BBQ in the bush was a real treat.

Our guide found us the desert adapted elephants on one drive.

The visit to Twyfelfontain to see the rock engravings, Organpipes, Burnt mountain and the working village museum was well worth an outing."

Kulala Desert Lodge

"Kulala Desert Lodge"

2 nights Arrived 8 Oct 2018
"Fantastic lodge and location. Throughly enjoyed the trip to Sossusuvlei and Dead Vlei, the lodge had its own private access to the dunes which meant we got there at sunrise.

The E-bike trip into the desert was an extra we found very enjoyable. Sleeping on the roof of the lodge under the stars was an experience.

As is the norm in Namibia we found, the food, wine and staff were excellent."
