My Nov 2023 trip

Namibia between 7 Nov 2023 and 20 Nov 2023

Trip rating: Good
"The trip as a whole was very nice.

The only problem was having a bat in our room while we were sleeping for 2 nights in Okakuajo and one night in Kalahari Red Dunes. But that isnt Expert Africa's fault!"

Okaukuejo Camp

Okaukuejo Camp

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 9 Nov 2023
"The waterhole was very nice. However, the hotel itself was not great.

We had the premier waterhole chalet. We were woken up in the middle of the night by a bat on the first night, and the same happened again on the second night, even after we asked the hotel to clear the room. The hotel then suggested it was our fault for leaving the door open during the day, something we had never done (but which all their cleaning staff do).

There was probably simply a family of bats in the thatched roof - bats like thatched roof and I suspect the hotel hadnt cleaned it. Generally, the hotel rooms were not very clean with dust, cobwebs and other signs of dirt."

Hoodia Desert Lodge

Hoodia Desert Lodge

"Hoodia Desert Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 15 Nov 2023
"Everything about Hoodia desert lodge was good, except for the owner Thomas who, although nice, practically told us off for saying that we'd love to try some local Namibian dishes if they have that option over the next three days.

It was a long conversation, but I think he could have been a little nicer about our request, even if he was still going to say no!"
