My Dec 2016 trip
Namibia between 12 Dec 2016 and 31 Dec 2016
"We had a fantastic trip to Namibia, were pleasantly surprised by the standard of accommodation, helpfulness of the staff in all but one of our stops.
If Planet Earth II has not convinced you to visit then you should go anyway as it has much more to offer than what was shown in the short time that the BBC allotted to the Namib desert.
If you are looking for something totally different look no further."

Grootberg Lodge
"Grootberg Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
24 Dec 2016
"The rooms themselves were good.
Although No.6 is right on the edge and no good for anyone who suffers from a fear of heights like I do!
Luckily we were able to swap with our travel companions
Service and food were poor, staff seemed disinterested with the exception of the girls who performed the 'meet and greet' process."
