My Oct 2024 trip

Namibia between 7 Oct 2024 and 24 Oct 2024

Trip rating: Excellent
"I went to spend time with the Desert Elephants and that exceeded my expectations.

Expert Africa and great with suggestions and organising. I had one hic up when I needed to back track and then come back again so I forfeited that route as the roads in Namibia have deteriorated over the years in my opinion. I think a great deal more lobbying is needed by lodges and tour operators to get those roads sorted out. Certainly back tracking makes no sense.

I love Namibia and this will not be the last time I visit."

Halali Camp

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 19 Oct 2024
"I have been here many times and it is simple but comfortable with the most amazing waterhole to sit at.

The roads in Ethosha are shameful, but you do not need to drive when you can sit at the waterhole and let the game come to you.
And they did in their masses."

1 night Arrived 22 Oct 2024
"This is much bigger than all the other places I stayed (except Twyfelfortein).

It is slightly staged but a very large area and great to bumble around for a night drive and an early morning one to.

Beautiful rooms."

"Tortilis Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 19 Jan 2023
"This camp has too many guests and you are a number not a person.

The staff are fantastic from Zed downwards but I did not take to the English Management. They do not take care to try to match you up with like minded people in your game vehicle. Luckily Zed came to my rescue and in fact I then had drives that were absolutely fabulous with Ali.

Fantastic backdrop with Kili."

This was the best USD15 I have ever spent.

Of course you then donate but honestly this was fun, a delight to listen to and the orphans are captivating. Would visit again.
