My Sep 2014 trip

Namibia between 23 Sep 2014 and 9 Oct 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"An excellent itinerary which, after discussion with the very knowledgeable staff at Expert Africa, we tailored to fit our interests. The only thing they got wrong was the pick up point for Entendeka Camp but that did not cause any problems.

The quality of accommodation was very good value.

Driving was very easy with so little traffic. Wherever we stopped people were friendly and helpful.

One of our best trips."

Feedback response

We apologised for the mistake in our description of Etendeka Camp's pick up point. This feedback prompted us to swiftly check on the changed location, and to update our extensive notes for future travellers.

Etendeka Mountain Camp

Etendeka Mountain Camp

"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 29 Sep 2014
"The one error on our itinerary was that the pick up point for Entendeka is now at Palmwag Lodge not as given in our notes.

However, the camp and staff were superb. Dennis was an excellent host and Bonny an excellent guide with his knowledge of the local area. All the staff were excellent as was the food. Dennis has a telescope set up and we twice had the opportunity to share his knowledge of the night sky. The guided walks were very good with the fascinating geology of the area and evidence of wildlife.

On the game drives we saw elephants (distant), lions (closer), as well several giraffes and lots of mountain zebras and various antelopes."

Okaukuejo Camp

Okaukuejo Camp

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 2 Oct 2014
"Having read some of the reviews we were doubtful about staying here but were very glad that we did.

The food was good value, the room had all that we needed and the service was good plus the big bonus of the floodlit waterhole. One evening we watched 4 rhinos and their young, the next day a large herd of elephants visited as we got back in the late afternoon.

An excellent base for exploring the western side of Etosha."

Okonjima Plains Camp

Okonjima Plains Camp

"Okonjima Plains Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 6 Oct 2014
"An excellent end to our trip. The activities were good value and our guide was very knowledgeable - the chance to get close to cheetahs (on foot) and leopards (in the safari vehicle) was superb.

Although obviously a tourist attraction the enclosed areas are large enough that there is no feeling of a safari park experience. Very comfortable room, we stayed in a Bush View room which was an apt description as it had uninterrupted views of the bush, and some wandering wildlife. Some areas with walking trails which were good.

The emphasis has changed from rescuing to an education and conservation programme."
