Namibia between 10 Sep 2008 and 26 Sep 2008

Trip rating: Excellent
"The trip ran smoothly, all the bookings worked, the accommodation at the rest camps was of a higher standard than expected.

We would recommend this trip to other people.

However, don't let your credit card out of your sight as ours was cloned and money withdrawn. We are not sure where this happened but definitely not any of the places we stayed."

Feedback response

We're pleased to say that this kind of credit card fraud is exceedingly rare amongst our travellers, and (we believe) fairly rare in Namibia. However, we're alarmed that it's happened at all on one of our trips!

We can't help but agree with this taveller: these days, when travelling anywhere in the world, it's increasingly prudent not to let any of your credit cards out of your sight if you can possibly avoid doing so.

"Pity about the dog"

2 nights Arrived 16 Sep 2008
"A convenient place to stay but we feel that the owner did not create a very relaxing atmosphere.

Although promised that the dog would not be in the public rooms when we were there (because of allergies) we had to persuade the owner to keep the dog out of the rooms."

"brilliant waterhole"

2 nights Arrived 20 Sep 2008
"Although we could not see the waterhole from our room inspite of it's name, we were a very short distance away. The crowds round the waterhole were not oppressive or noisy; we saw a great many animals.

Being in the park was a great advantage for night and early morning viewing of the waterhole and easy access to the rest of the park."
