My Jun 2019 trip
Namibia between 25 Jun 2019 and 15 Jul 2019
"We loved our trip. Perhaps in hindsight we would have changed a few things, however that is the nature of any experience.
Expert Africa provided excellent suggestions and Maruska suggested the highlight of the trip."

Robin Pope Safaris Mobile Safari Camp
"Viewing the wildlife on foot."
5 nights
Arrived
1 Oct 2011
"The entire experience as outstanding. The camps were run with an efficiency that is hard to imagine anywhere especially in the bush.
Our guide Jason was not only knowledgeable about the area he was genuinely interesting to talk with on any number of subjects. The tea bearer Jonathan was also a great addition to the experience. Clair the hostess and the entire staff of the mobile safari were great. The bread made in a pit oven was to die for.

Chongwe River Camp
"Chongwe River Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
9 Oct 2011
"The atmosphere at Chongwe was a tad formal for my taste. Again the accommodations were outstanding with excellent views of the Chongwe river. The guide was outstanding once we became acquainted.
The fishing on the lower Zambezi river was one of the high points of the vacation."

Tsika Island Camp, Zambia (this camp has since closed)
"Tsika Island Camp review"
1 night
Arrived
11 Oct 2011
"Very secluded lovely location on the Island in the Zambezi river. It was wonderful at this peaceful secluded camp.
We enjoyed the visit to the village which was educational for us. Seeing an actual subsistence farming village and listening to our guide describe the challenges of life with elephants as the primary pest opened our eyes to the problems of life in other cultures.
The canoe trip back to Chongwe was provided an active way to see the sites."
