"my African experience"

"Namibia 2017"

I visited Namibia between 23 Sep 2017 and 18 Oct 2017
"Overall the trip was excellent.

Tracey was very helpful throughout and her choices were sound.

3 lodges in close proximity in the Etendeka area were perhaps unnecessary, although all did bring something different.

The few days layover in Swakopmund at the end were just the thing." Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 25 on a Namibia trip

"A Memorable Trip"

I visited Zimbabwe and 2 other countries between 9 Sep 2017 and 29 Sep 2017
"What made this trip so special was its diverse nature.

Our itinerary was a balance between adventure (self-drive in Botswana and the Caprivi Strip); land- and water-based game and bird viewing; history and culture. All of this using accommodation ranging from the rustic to the luxurious. We always felt comfortable, even in Zimbabwe which was really the wild card.

We would have no hesitation in returning there (though not driving) or recommending it to others. It is a country with great tourism potential which one day will be allowed to flourish." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Excellent experience with one blemish"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 8 Sep 2017 and 25 Sep 2017
"We thoroughly enjoyed our journey through northern Namibia and the Caprivi and our two sorties into Botswana.

Our entry to Namibia at Windhoek was very disappointing and time consuming. Immigration there had recently introduced new systems to photograph and fingerprint all arrivals. Perhaps teething problems with the new technology and certainly the small number of officers on duty meant it took us two and a half hours from exiting the plane to enter the country, all while standing in a small hot room.

This delay meant we could not arrive at our next destination in time for it's afternoon game drive. Those that had prepaid would have lost our financially as well as in terms of enjoyment." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"My Sep 2017 trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 1 Sep 2017 and 23 Sep 2017
"Other than the reservations noted above regarding 3 of the camps, we were very pleased with the holiday.

We would however warn anyone with similar plans, that the drive through the Caprivi strip is long and rather boring. We would not chose to do that part of the trip again.

Mundulea was a new highlight . We only wish that we had visited there on earlier trips." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My Aug 2017 trip"

I visited Namibia and 3 other countries between 16 Aug 2017 and 13 Sep 2017
"We had a wonderful holiday in Southern Africa. There are so many memories- we tried to name our 'top 10 best moments' but it was impossible as each day offered something new and exciting. We will definitely be back to this lovely part of the world before too long.

Thank you to Tracy Lederer for her advice and organisation - everything ran very smoothly and exceeded our expectations." Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
