Reviews of trips to Fish River Canyon

"We thoroughly enjoyed the trip; it met all of our expectations, for country and wildlife, and above at times. Namibia is a lovely country with nice people. The places we stayed at almost always got a "wow!" on arrival, what more can we say?

We would return very happily.

Fitting Victoria Falls in was good, but perhaps an expensive luxury." Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"It was a good experience, although we did find some of the gravel roads quite hard work, but became more used to them. Perhaps we should have gone for a 4 wheel drive car.

However the landscapes and the wildlife were stunning, the lodges generally very comfortable and it was certainly a truly memorable holiday." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"We had a wonderful three weeks in Namibia.

The accommodation was generally of a very high standard and everything ran smoothly.

I had expected that driving such long distances would be tiring but in a 4WD and with little other traffic this did not prove to be the case." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"Maruska selected very nice but reasonable accommodation. It made it hassle free by having car, accommodation, most meals and a few tours all packaged up for us. Well done.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Just one - on your guide book it states the closest fuel station to refuel the hire car is Windhoek. Well the good news is a new one has opened right near the airport and its 24 hour service." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"This trip was truly a most rewarding experience, we both were enthralled by the journey and the sights we were able to see.

The trip was very well planned and organised, and offered a really in-depth insight into Namibia and its wildlife and stunning scenery.

We covered a lot of ground in our in Namibia, and whilst distance itself is not a problem, the state of the roads can make road travel very demanding. If we are able to return again I would seriously consider flying in and out to the lodges.

Our thanks go to Elizabeth for producing a very detailed travel plan and itinerary" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 22 on a Namibia trip

"This trip is one we have wanted to do for a while. We were invited to a wedding in Franschhoek which gave us the excuse to do it.

We had a good idea where we wanted to go, and Tracy very skilfully interpreted this and put the trip together for us - nowhere did it disappoint.

We would do it again at a different time of year - spring being the ideal time to see the Western and Northern Cape. We'd stay longer at Klein Aus.

If we hadn't been booked to come home, we could quite easily have spent a couple of days in Windhoek and readied ourselves to go in another direction...........hopefully there will be a next time." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"A holiday of a lifetime - so many different experiences on a variety of levels.

Beautiful country, lovely people

Overall - amazing!" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"An excellent trip. We loved Namibia and the people. The scenery is second to none. Of course, a few more days would have been even better, but the amount of driving was easily copable in the time available.
Many thanks to Tracey for supporting an excellent itinerary in a reduced time span at relatively short notice.

We were surprised but pleased to be met at Windhoek Airport by Costa from Wilderness safaris, who helped us through the vehicle pick up process. And the choice of vehicle was excellent (Toyota 4x4)

The marked route map was very valuable and we were also very pleased to have the Bradt Guide.

One small route point - the C12 from Fish River to the Keetmanshoop - Aus Road has now been rerouted to meet the main road 12 km from Seeheim - the old D545 - presumably to accommodate the traffic for the vast agricultural project. So Seeheim is now even more off the map but we had a good lunch stop there (or, rather ,coffee and apple cake!) and were well welcomed.

And a very minor point - most places don't provide hair dryers. It didn't matter to me but might affect others." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"Generally all the hotels and lodges suggested by EA and we stayed at were very, very good on the whole. It was a good itinerary but some of the drives between stops took longer than we thought they would.

Great views great scenery. Beautiful game-but its not like the Mara or some where like that-because its very different climate." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"This was a hugely pleasurable trip - self drive proved fine ( we enjoyed being able to go where we wanted and when - and we didn't break down!) - and the desert scenery was magnificent. The lodges were all very good and all had charming and helpful staff.

Our only suggestion is that our itinerary could have been improved so that we could have fitted in a trip to Swakomund in the same 10 day period." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip
