My Sep 2018 trip
Namibia and 1 other country between 4 Sep 2018 and 17 Sep 2018
Josh was very helpful when we needed to contact him and in his communications with us.
We feel that EA delivered a trip experience that was just what we had requested. We are very pleased with the service we received."

Onguma Etosha Aoba
"Onguma Etosha Aoba review"
The food was well cooked, presented and served in very impressive surroundings.
Our room was comfortable and the communal areas inviting. We didn't do any activities based around the lodge itself (choosing to spend our time in the Etosha National Park) but spotted the animals noted below during our drive through the Onguma grounds. Did dik also visited the waterhole overlooked by the dining terrace.
Although it was brief we enjoyed our stay here very much."

Staff were friendly and efficient. The room was very comfortable.
Our evening meal - in the Boma area - could have been better. Breakfast was good."

Hakusembe River Lodge
"Hakusembe River Lodge review"
The location overlooking Angola and not far outside Rundu was good with interesting views across the river. The check in was well managed and our room was comfortable. The grounds of the lodge were well kept and easy to stroll in.
Our buffet evening meal included a singing and dancing performance by some of the lodge staff, some of whom appeared to be more enthusiastic than others about their participation."

Nxamaseri Lodge
"Nxamaseri Lodge review"
Our guide was very helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed the activities we participated in particularly a trip to the nearby Tsolido Hills. There are excellent opportunities for spotting birds.
The atmosphere around the lodge was friendly and relaxing but the staff at the same time were professional and efficient. Meals are served at a communal table which can lead to good interaction between guests."

Lianshulu Lodge
"Lianshulu Lodge review"
It is a shame that no drinkable water was provided free of charge but had to be purchased.
The check out was not well managed and there were discrepancies in the billing of couples in our group (of 3 couples) with some items finding themselves on the wrong bill."

Jackalberry Tented Camp
"Jackalberry Tented Camp review"
The Camp has a spectacular view across the flood plain to the river and into Botswana. There are good opportunities for wildlife and bird spotting. We enjoyed the activities we undertook, an early morning game drive and a river trip.
The meals were good. The staff were friendly and efficient - very eager to please.
It was quite an adventure to visit Jackalberry but one that was most worthwhile."
