My Aug 2022 trip
Namibia between 28 Aug 2022 and 30 Sep 2022
The gravel roads aren’t for the faint hearted but the country as a whole makes up for it!
Stunning scenery, a great variety of experiences and many very happy memories.
The tok tokkie trail and Ongava were our highlights"

Not sure about the waiting on staff wearing, in some cases, ripped jeans; I think they could have been provided with trousers."

Mowani Mountain Camp
"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
Unfortunate to only find one elephant on our nature drive (not usual) but our guide worked hard and we had a relaxed long time with him. The guide’s knowledge was very good and her bird spotting and identification was excellent.
The excursion to see the ancient rock art was interesting and informative."

Ongava Lodge
"Ongava Lodge review"
Loved the water hole visible from the main lodge and (at an angle) from our veranda. We saw 11 rhino there one evening, the average being about 3.
We spent two mornings at the hide by the water hole and saw a great variety of wildlife; an elephant herd spent 55 minutes there one morning as well as giraffe, oryx, kudu, black backed jackel, warthog, impala and hundreds of comical Guinea fowl.
We found three rhino whilst on foot as well as others from the vehicle."

Etango Ranch Guest Farm
"Etango Ranch Guest Farm review"
Clean and well situated for the airport but rather cold with no facility to warm the room.
Dinner was good and as we were leaving early in the morning a breakfast pack was made up for us the evening before."
Breakfast limited to a platter brought to the table, not buffet.
Excellent evening meal"
