Our 2016 Namibian Trip

Namibia between 18 Mar 2016 and 28 Mar 2016

Trip rating: Excellent
"Our trip to Namibia was amazing!

We fell in love more deeply with the country with every place we went to. The guidance from Expert Africa was invaluable! I gave them a task of helping me to plan my trip to Namibia on relatively short notice and they made it happen for me. All the lodges were unique, fun experiences and truly wonderful.

Even though we moved around a lot on our trip, we felt we were lucky to have visited so many places and got to experience each of them for their uniqueness.

Definitely one of the best African vacations we've taken! Thank you for everything."

Sossusvlei Lodge

Sossusvlei Lodge

"Sossusvlei Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 20 Mar 2016
"Beautiful lodge. Great location right outside the gate of the park.

My only concern is that despite offering the lodges we stayed at with some requests for more kid friendly foods, it was not granted.

For adults, the food was wonderful and very, very good."

Babson House

"Babson House review"

1 night Arrived 26 Mar 2016
"This was by far our most favorite experience. We were treated like gold and given great access to what CCF does and how they do it. We got to help run the cheetahs for exercise. We helped to feed more than 15 cheetahs and got an up close encounter with one of the Ambassador cheetahs. We were so impressed by the work that CCF is doing and the great access to see if up close.

Having also visited AfriCat, which we thought was a very commercialized animal experience, CCF is a much better place to visit if you really want to know what goes into rescuing, caring for and helping to save an animal species.

Best experience of our lives!"

Okonjima Plains Camp

Okonjima Plains Camp

"Okonjima Plains Camp review"

1 night Arrived 27 Mar 2016
"The accommodations and main reception and dining areas were exquisite. It was a very nice place.

Having visited CCF the day before, we had a very different idea in our minds as to what AfriCat would be like considering they too rescue, rehabilitate and help African cats. We had a great safari guide who located several leopards and we got an up close look at these very elusive and hard-to-find animals. That was amazing!

Other than that, I felt like AfriCat was more of a theme park than an important organization doing great work to help African cats. I would have liked for there to be more of an emphasis and opportunity to experience the behind the scenes of the work they do just like we did at CCF."
