My Apr 2022 trip

Namibia and 2 other countries between 22 Apr 2022 and 24 May 2022

Trip rating: Excellent
"The entire trip was incredible, none of us wanted to go home. The planning was excellent and everything went flawlessly. The guides inNamibia and Botswana were excellent. It was wonderful being in these countries and meeting the people who are very happy to have tourists returning.

Maruska designed a trip for us that matched all of our goals. She was outstanding during the pandemic in rescheduling a couple of times and kept us informed of everything she was working on and changes. She is the best travel consultant we have ever worked with. She is timely and precise in her dealings with suppliers and companies in Africa. She was very responsive throughout the 3 years of planning. We highly recommend her. Thank you Maruska!"

2 nights Arrived 24 Apr 2022
"Room was nice with limited wifi in room due to its location in the complex.

The staff was outstanding and took care of all of us as we arrived in Namibia. A great place to stay at start of our trip. Staff recommendations for restaurants and arranging taxis was very helpful. Taxi necessary for getting around in the area without a vehicle."

"Camp Sossus review"

3 nights Arrived 27 Apr 2022
"Wow, this camp was very special.

We were spoiled by the staff. They went all out taking care of us. We have never stayed anywhere before that has had such a high level of service. Everything here was excellent.

The safari tents were comfortable and the upstairs bed made night sky viewing a special treat. Night skies were the best we have ever seen in the world.

All of the activities were designed to meet our goals for the trip. We love this camp!"

"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"

3 nights Arrived 30 Apr 2022
"We stayed in the apartment. It is big and roomy with lots of space for two couples. We would have preferred staying at the smaller B&B for the ambience and location of the smaller B&B.

We only interacted with staff at breakfast and they were very nice. It is a convenient place to stay in the area for exploration of the dunes, coast and desert."

"Huab Under Canvas review"

3 nights Arrived 4 May 2022
"A wonderful camp to stay at and explore the area. The staff are outstanding and made our stay very special. Food was excellent. The location is in a beautiful remote area.

Rough road to get there was well worth it. Camp was in process of updating batteries for solar system which should improve battery charging capabilities.

Tracking rhinos with the rhino rangers was a fun and interesting experience. They provided information on rhino behavior and shared their experiences with us.

A delightful way to see their daily protective work."

Okaukuejo Camp

Okaukuejo Camp

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 7 May 2022
"A great location to stay to explore Etosha. Rooms were nice and big. Staff was not very helpful, not customer service oriented. It seemed they might have had a staffing shortage during our visit.

Food was adequate. Grounds are nicely maintained. Lots of big tour groups stay here so some areas were crowded at different times of the day.

The watering hole at the lodge had lots of activity day and night. Lions roaring all night was a treat. The location is wonderful for the daily safari drives. We saw many types of wildlife and many species of birds."

"Mundulea Reserve review"

3 nights Arrived 9 May 2022
"A very special place to explore on foot. The camp was created to blend with the environment. The special touches and design are nice.

Sitting in the blinds and watching wildlife behavior was one of the best experiences of our trip. Bruno was wonderful in sharing his preserve with us on daily hikes. He is very knowledgeable. He shared his extensive experiences with us and provided a view into the world of managing preserves. The staff are very helpful and took great care of us."

3 nights Arrived 20 May 2022
"Upscale camp. Huge safari tent rooms.

Elephants surrounded our tent on the first couple of days. Staff were very helpful and nice. Beautiful location.

Big emphasis from this camp is to see the big predators almost to the exclusion of watching other wildlife. Guide did adjust his tours to try to meet our goals.

Food was excellent and there was always a lot of it."
