It is very difficult to get the information and feel for the country you have never been to, and how things are done in each location. In that sense, the details were not communicated well to our needs.
It is easy to say, "please ask any questions if you have", rather than " please check this," or " did you know this?" to make sure that we understand the same thing. Many things are assumed to be understood. The communication was always initiated by me.
The child age should be considered individually by the height, not by age. Our daughter had never been a problem to any lodge. Given her age is 11.5 and she is tall." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

not to mention the breathtaking scenery and the fantastic wildlife.
Tourist numbers are noticeably down - so more people should visit !" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip
"Zambia"
Can't wait to go back and explore further afield and maybe Malawi. We can't recomment Robin Pope Safaris highly enough." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"My trip to Africa"
I drove through bush fires and was chased by a bull elephant! Man, it was exiting! And I was followed by a baboon for an hour during one of my walks. Probably thought I looked a bit lonely. :-D The only niggly thing was not getting vegetarian food on the flights as that had not been specified. Apart from that, I am definitely going back as soon as I can.
For a woman driving on her own, I had few problems except with the usual, i.e. men with far too much testosterone. I know how to handle that though so it wasn't a problem. I loved driving around on my own for three weeks. Best thing I ever did.
Next time, I won't bother with Swakopmund though. The only place I disliked despite the kind and friendly people. Just too weird for me (i.e. German town in Namibia) and in any case, I was in Namibia for the flora and fauna, not towns and buildings. I'm glad I went though as I wouldn't have known that had I not been.
Overall, a great holiday! Me = Happy! :-D" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My Jun 2012 trip"
Our only regret is that we didn't have more time - next time, we'll have to head south as well.
