My Oct 2024 trip

Namibia between 2 Oct 2024 and 20 Oct 2024

Trip rating: Excellent
"Outstanding.

Sabina was remarkably good about tailoring this to our requests and interests.

She always had good suggestions, and arranged a last minute change to our itinerary at our request.

Sabina was clearly knowledgeable and most helpful in every way."

Tommy's Living Desert Tour

"Tommy's Living Desert Tour review"

6 Oct 2024 • Morning excursion

Guides were excellent and attentive, especially considering that we were the only English-speaking members of the group.

They clearly appreciate the area and love their job.

Okonjima Bush Camp

Okonjima Bush Camp

"Okonjima Bush Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 7 Oct 2024
"Pangolin tracking was a highlight of trip: our guide grabbed us from a late dinner and took us into the dark night and we found a pangolin and followed it for 30 minutes -- amazing!

We saw cheetahs -- and we got close enough to hear them purring.

The leopards were elusive, but our guide was intent on finding them until we succeeded.

The room was beyond great. We saw wildlife, even giraffes, from our room."

"Doro Nawas review"

2 nights Arrived 9 Oct 2024
"Staff was so exceptional that this was a highlight of our stay.

Their singing and joyfulness and pride in their place and their work was a true delight. The lodging was incredible, and they rolled our bed out on our deck for two wonderful nights sleeping out under the stars.

The desert elephant trip was impressive.

The click language was a sound to behold and remember."

"Spectacular, spellbinding location. Gorgeous. Wish we would have stayed longer.

Sunset on the boulders above the lodge was awesome.

Very well-run, great staff. Boulder-side pool was beautiful.

Tour to rock art was good."

Etosha Safari Camp

Etosha Safari Camp

"Etosha Safari Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 12 Oct 2024
"This wasn't originally scheduled for us, but we made a last-minute change to go here (to reduce driving on bad roads to the far north).

This was more of a mass tourism roadside stop and not so much an experience in itself like everywhere else stayed.

It was adequate but crowded and unexceptional. No internet during our two-day stay. Food and service were mediocre.

The best thing about the place was the evening music by a local group.

We drove ourselves to Etosha for one day where we saw a wide variety of wildlife."

Ongava Lodge

Ongava Lodge

"Ongava Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 14 Oct 2024
"Our longest stay of the trip was three days at Ongava and worth every minute.

We spent a lot of time at the hide where we observed the steady close-up coming-and-going of numerous antelopes, elephants, giraffes and rhinos.

When we weren't in the hide watching animals, we could see them from our dining room perch over the waterhole.

Our on-foot trek to find a couple of rhinos was among the highlights.

Staff and guides were excellent. The room and our deck were perfect."
