My Jan 2014 trip
Namibia between 22 Jan 2014 and 1 Feb 2014
"Trip as a whole was memorable. We took a few cd's as suggested for the car but didn't open them as the changing landscapes were fantastic and we didn't want to miss anything. It all made for a very exciting and relaxing time and everything 'fitted'.
We've already recommended it (and EA) to others.
We would love the opportunity to return
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Perhaps an improved route map."

"We were not expected until following day; hence under-staffed a bit of a slow start...it did get better. Irritating mistake over charging on departure. Resolved but at the cost of a phone call from Swokupmund.
Excellent trip to Sossulvlei."
