A Wonderful trip to Namibia & Botswana
Namibia and 1 other country between 19 May 2025 and 1 Jun 2025
"Our 2 week trip to the Caprivi Strip, Chobe and the Delta was absolutely wonderful and we saw so much wildlife. Some we had expected to see, some we had hoped to see and some we didn't think we would see but did!
All arrangements were excellent, all guides excellent, and all of the staff in all of the lodges friendly and very welcoming. The standard of accommodation was very good and we felt very well looked after.
We well may do a third visit to another part of Namibia in a few years time!
I would just like to say that I have already recommended Tracy to a friend!"

"We only got to the guest house at about 6pm and left straight after breakfast, so a flying visit enroute elsewhere, but it was a very nice Guest House and comfortable and spacious room."

Ndhovu Safari Lodge
"Ndhovu Safari Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
21 May 2025
"Ndhovu Safari Lodge was a lovely lodge and well positioned on the river.
The Manager was very welcoming and informative.
On the first morning we did a self drive into the Mahango National Park which was well worth doing and took a couple of hours. Later we did a game drive and had our first sighting of a lion on our holiday!
There were plenty of animals and birds both morning and afternoon. A very good two night stay."

Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge
"Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
23 May 2025
"Lovely setting overlooking a channel of water and within a few minutes of arrival a warthog and a troop of baboons came in to drink.
A couple of baboons wandered through the camp to get to the water!
We saw quite a bit of wildlife from our balcony as well as the communal area.
We did a night safari, guided walk and a river trip and all were very good and the guides were all very knowledgeable.
We saw a lot of wildlife from the boat including hippos and elephants."

Lianshulu Lodge
"Lianshulu Lodge review"
1 night
Arrived
25 May 2025
"A lovely lodge and the dinner was superb! We arrived early at the lodge 10.15am as we were only 45 minutes from the previous lodge, and within half an hour we were out on a 2 hour safari, and a river trip had been organized for us for later in the afternoon!
At that stage we were the only couple of the lodge but more arrived later in the day. Both trips were excellent and the guide was very informative.
Should have stayed longer than the 1 night!"

Chobe Elephant Camp
"Chobe Elephant Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
26 May 2025
"We have renamed this lodge as The Chobe Giraffe Camp as we saw many more giraffes during our safaris than elephants!
The lodge was very nice and our room spacious though we did not have adequate hot was during our stay.
The staff thought they had fixed it for us but unfortunately the shower was still not anywhere near warm enough. Apart from that everything was fine.
Our guide/driver Lee who we were with for all activities was excellent and went out of his way for us to spot the cheetah."

Pom Pom Camp
"Pom Pom Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
28 May 2025
"Pom Pom was a lovely camp and a fantastic three nights at the end of our holiday.
We saw so much wildlife it was incredible and seeing so much of it very close to our jeep was breathtaking especially a leopard about 5 feet away laying in the grass with a very full stomach!
Ryder our driver/guide was excellent, and our spotter Zuma who sat on a chair on the bonnet of the jeep for much of the time was very good too especially spotting another leopard up a tree."
