My Jun 2013 trip

Namibia between 27 Jun 2013 and 13 Jul 2013

Trip rating: Excellent
"The whole experience was very enjoyable.

On reflection we wouldn't have done as much driving, some of it was tedious and although there isn't much traffic driving on the gravel roads was quite tiring. Having said this it was our choice and we wouldn't have seen as much as we did without the driving"

Erongo Wilderness Lodge

Erongo Wilderness Lodge

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 28 Jun 2013
"All the staff were helpful and it was some of the best food we had whilst in Namibia. Good toe Roger the owner standing in as a manager.

We went on one guided walk which we enjoyed and it was tailored to suit our ability. We attempted a walk on our own but the terrain was difficult and it was too hot."

Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani Mountain Camp

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 1 Jul 2013
"We particularly enjoyed the trip to track the Desert Elephants, the guide was knowledgeable , it was unhurried and gave us plenty of time to watch the elephants.

We felt that the camp lacked positive management which reflected on the service in the dining room. When taking the bags to the room one of our bags was damaged due to lack of care."

2 nights Arrived 5 Jul 2013

The breakfasts were good and they made us a packed lunch at short notice/"

Hoodia Desert Lodge

Hoodia Desert Lodge

"Hoodia Desert Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 7 Jul 2013
"This was possible the best lodge we stayed at and the owner was very anxious to make sure our stay was a good experience.

We decided to take the trip to Sossusvlei to save us driving and we were very pleased that we did. The guide was very knowledgeable and the lunch overlooking the dunes was an experience we wouldn't have missed. The trip was unhurried and the driving excellent."

Zebra River Lodge

Zebra River Lodge

"Zebra River Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 9 Jul 2013
"This was the most rustic experience and seeing the warthog eating the grass around the swimming pool made our day. The owner and the staff were lovely, the staff provided us with entertainment on the last evening they had formed a choir and sang traditional songs after dinner.

We went on a guided walk , unfortunately the walk was too much and the guide was unaware of our capabilities. We think the guide had recently been trained and he did not tailor the pace to suit ( Matthew kept up with him but w were unable to do so). We feel he could do with more training."
