Travel reviews by Mr and Mrs L - Oxfordshire

When do we return

On this trip, I visited South Africa between 20-Dec-2009 and 4-Jan-2010 and I travelled with 1 other person.

We had a fantastic holiday - lots of relaxing doing not a lot, some sightseeing and some days walking.. We achieved our aim of a hot Christmas and seeing some cricket abroad - A promising recipe to be repeated with or without the cricket.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No - all was fine - if we had a glitches they were sorted out as we went along which is why we will use the company again - our holiday was trully tailor-made for us - thank you.

Please can we go again

On this trip, I visited Namibia between 9-May-2008 and 25-May-2008 and I travelled with 4 other people.

We didn't want to come home, we want to go back, we already have ideas and have started saving - what more can we say.

Things we'd do differently - put in a three night stay somewhere. We were really please only to be staying one night in Swakopmund, it was definitely out of season.

Something to consider is to take Air Nambia flight home to Europe (Frankfurt) and do hop to UK from there rather than Windhoek/Jo'burg/Home. Gives a longer last day and the Air Namibia flight was nicer.
