Our honeymoon

Namibia and 2 other countries between 5 Jan 2019 and 19 Jan 2019

Trip rating: Excellent
"We loved our honeymoon and couldn't have imagined a better trip!

We made sure we spent as much time as we could out-and-about to see as much wildlife as possible, but we still feel we were very lucky with the number of species we saw at what is considered low season!

We have so many amazing memories which we will cherish forever and can't wait to plan another trip!!"

"Elegant Guesthouse review"

1 night Arrived 5 Jan 2019
"Such a beautiful guesthouse in Windhoek.

We were treated very well and staff couldn't have been more helpful at giving us directions and advice on where to go. We didn't get chance to see much of Windhoek.

Went straight to Joe's Beerhouse for dinner."

Okonjima Plains Camp

Okonjima Plains Camp

"Okonjima Plains Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 6 Jan 2019
"We absolutely loved Okonjima Plains Camp. We were slightly worried after arriving that we'd never be able to beat our wildlife-viewing experience here!!

We couldn't believe how many species we'd seen within only 24 hours. Everything was so close and the guided trips were excellent. We did leopard and cheetah tracking and also went on a night drive. All were excellent in different ways.

When we had a little down-time, we did some of the walking trails which we really enjoyed."

Okaukuejo Camp

Okaukuejo Camp

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 8 Jan 2019
"We completely understand the appeal of Okaukuejo camp with the waterhole on-site and very easy access into Etosha. The waterhole was very quiet whilst we were there, but we really enjoyed sitting there after dark and watching the owls etc. flying around. The accommodation was a little tired and could perhaps do with some updating, but to be honest we spent very little time there as we were out from sunrise-sunset in Etosha!

Unfortunately, we didn't receive particularly good service whilst at Okaukuejo camp. It was very difficult to get useful information from staff both during check-in and at other times. We were told when we checked in that we would need to book a table at the restaurant for dinner. We went to the restaurant to book and they sent us back to reception to book. This happened several times and in the end our details were scribbled onto a piece of paper in the restaurant. When we arrived for dinner, no table had been booked and the staff we fairly rude to us, implying this was our fault. They reluctantly (even though there were lots of free tables around), gave us a table but we ate pretty quickly as we didn't feel that welcome! We were probably unlucky in our experience because we were treated well the next evening.

The location definitely made up for any short-falls in service quality!"

Ndhovu Safari Lodge

"Ndhovu Safari Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 13 Jan 2019
"We got a little bit lost driving to Ndhovu! The accommodation was quite basic, but we enjoyed being so close to the Mahango Park. The location on the river was lovely.

The staff at Ndhovu were very friendly and welcoming and guided trips were good.

Staying at Ndhovu was different to everywhere else we'd stayed on our trip - a little quirky!"

"Ilala Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 17 Jan 2019
"We had a lovely stay at Ilala lodge - the perfect end to our honeymoon!

We were upgraded to a suite which was very special and we were treated very well. Staff were very courteous and helpful.

We went on a breakfast cruise which was brilliant and our guides were excellent.

The lodge was well-positioned to visit the falls, but was also a lovely place to spend some time relaxing."
