My Mar 2025 trip
Namibia between 17 Mar 2025 and 3 Apr 2025
"Namibia was a great country to visit and we enjoyed the overall trip. We had the misfortune of travelling during one of the wettest periods in recent years which really impacted wildlife viewing and a few other experiences. But overall we enjoyed our time there."

"Although being located within Etosha is a great locational advantage, this is a very large, and out dated property. Ignoring the increased cost, staying outside the park at a our superior location might have been a better option."

Morning Drive
"Morning Drive review"
31 Mar 2025 • Morning excursion
Our guide Ronnie was knowledgeable and personable. We learned a lot about the plant life in the area. There was virtually no wildlife seen, but the rock paintings while limited were quite interesting.
We elected to day trip from here on our own to Spitzkoppe, which was also quite interesting.
