So many wonderful memories

Namibia between 16 Oct 2009 and 1 Nov 2009

Trip rating: Excellent
"No preparation could have prepared us for the sheer beauty of the desert, the dunes and the wide open African scenery. I had long wanted to go to Namibia and it far outshone our expectation and would return if i could.

We shared the wilderness cairport shuttle with another E.A. costomer and she said we'd find it addictive ----it sure is. Weve been far and wide over the years and this holiday is right up there amongst the top places.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Got the impression you are experts in Namibia and Tracy went out of her way to help us ----thank you"

Hilltop House, Namibia (this camp has since closed)

"Hilltop House review"

1 night Arrived 17 Oct 2009
"Made very welcome after arriving. We feel we had the best rooom with the largest veranda and a good view. Someone even made us a snack which saved us going out and finding that Windhoek was all closed down on a saturday afternoon.

Downside--- they advised us not to walk back from Joes Beerhouse after dinner in the evening and gave us the card of an in house taxi driver who conned us into paying a lot of money for what was a five minute ride! Innocents on our first night in Namibia ---we should have known better and asked the price before we got in the van."

Kulala Wilderness Camp, Namibia (this camp has since closed)

"Kulala Wilderness Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 20 Oct 2009
"Once again another wonderful spot and ideal camp for Sossuslie. but the guide should have advised us that it would be very cold in the Safari vehicle early in the morning as the rocks at the back of the camp keep in the heat and give a false idea of actually how cold it was driving out at 4/5 oclock across the plains .----We froze ---seriously until the sun rose . The van had an open roof and the guide made no effort to close it. Not impressed at that point but enjoyed the day."

"Halali Camp review"

1 night Arrived 28 Oct 2009
"Not terribly impressed compared to every thing elsewhere. Accomodation wasnt up to much and neither was the food.

On top of that there werent any animals at all at the waterhole. We came away thinking it was a waste of time."
