Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs S from Wilmslow
My Oct 2008 trip
On this trip, I visited Namibia & South Africa between 15-Oct-2008 and 12-Nov-2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.
First of all we must say thankyou for such an excellent holiday. We had a wonderful time and Namibia in particular was everything we hoped and expected for our second visit to the country. Throughout the accommodation was excellent and the food made a considerable impression at many of the places we stayed - we have the extra pounds to prove it!
In short a very ejoyable and successful holiday with lots of highlights, too many to mention, although the Baboons at Augrabies Falls and the three days of Whale watching at Hermanus will be remembered for a very long time. Oceans Eleven at Hermanus and Camps Bay Retreat were very good recommendatins so thanks Tracy for all your good ideas and helpfulness.
It was a super holiday and getting back to reality is proving very hard We are already working on the next trip to Nambia. What more can we say!
