Namibia: reviews from our travellers

"There is not one place that we would have omitted or reduced the length of our stay.

To improve the trip would involve increasing the length of the trip by adding additional locations - not really possible this time.

"Memorable and trip greatly helped by mine and Judy's previous knowledge of where to stay. Exhausting from a driver's perspective - wouldn't even do it by 4x4 until roads get sorted - they are truly terrible now

I think Sabina dealt with a 'demanding' client - that's me Alison - expertly - I'm never easy when organising stuff like this and she really pulled out all the stops. I would definitely book through you guys again" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Overall the trip went very well, some places we enjoyed more than others but that is to be expected. We did feel that we should have been encouraged more to take a 4x4, as we did find that we had to drive quite carefully, which added to the journey times and it would have been more comfortable and less tiring on the gravel/sand roads.

Although we do not have any mobility problems, I do think advise should be given about the unfriendly approach and general uneven terrain at Doro Nawas." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"We really enjoyed our trip and all aspects (except those listed in the box below) went smoothly. The folder that contained all the vouchers and key information together was useful.

With hindsight we should have booked accommodation with AC throughout the trip because if you go out early it is valuable to have somewhere cool enough to rest in the heat of the day before going out again in the afternoon. We probably should have worked this out for ourselves but I hadn't expected to want to be in much at midday and had not appreciated how hot tents can get!

We would definitely recommend Namibia at this time of year to any wildlife enthusiasts and your advice helped us to make the most of it." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"We had a wonderful trip. We got what we came for, a lot of wild animals, great nature and an exciting holiday.

A beautiful country with friendly people. It was very easy driving on good roads and no problems occured.

We are very excited and will certainly make another trip in the future.

When we entered Etosha, we saw that big areas were burnt down. This probably affected the wildlife, and we would want to have some info about these conditions in forehand, if possible of course." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Good. The 3 camps were chosen to give us three different environments which worked well.

It proved almost impossible to re-confirm our return flight with Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Edinburgh. Please bear in mind that not everybody flies through London.

The information we were given about our private charter flights bore little relation to the actuality." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Tracy had worked really hard to put together a wonderful itinerary, building to a great climax. All our venues had a wow factor and it would be hard to choose a favourite.

Travelling through Namibia, Chobe And Zambia gives an amazing variety of experiences.

One needs to watch the waistline as one is fed relentlessly on delicious fare.

Many thanks for great service, best wishes, Jane Westermann

Luggage allowances were a problem as we were given different advice. Photographers need to know that they won't be separated from their precious stuff. There is obviously a difference between v small flights and the Proflights to Mfuwe. This doesn't necessarily relate to you but it was the only thing on which we were unclear."

"The four of us had a really good time. With the benefit of hindsight, we would perhaps have preferred to spend only one night at Doro Nawas as we went on to North Damaraland and an extra night at Erongo and it would have been good to spend an extra night in Swakopmund and do another activity with Turnstone, but this is comment and not complaint. We would also think twice before using a Wilderness Safaris property again after Ongava.

I do think that 4wd, or at least high clearance, is essential in North Damaraland, and generally adds a good deal of flexibility to the trip.

We would love to go back and see some of the more remote areas in the North West. The holiday offered something for all interests and lots of time out of vehicles, walking and so on. as a result, it felt a lot longer than the 15 nights we had. Namibia is very beautiful and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip
