August 2017 trip to Namibia

Namibia between 4 Aug 2017 and 19 Aug 2017

Trip rating: Excellent
"Our trip to Namibia exceeded our expectations. The only hardship was the bumpy roads which made up about 2/3 of the roads we travelled on. Apart from that all the accommodation was really really good, the food was always great and amazing considering how remote some of these places are and the service was always very good. We can definitely recommend an Expert Africa trip to Namibia. 2 weeks is a good length of time - you may want to consider staying somewhere for 3 nights so you have a little breather - maybe in Swakopmund."

"Room was lovely if a little over the top. Restaurant was great for dinner and breakfast. Sundowner view was superb. Packed lunch was more than enough. Lovely place to stay."

Wolwedans Desert Lodge

Wolwedans Desert Lodge

"Wolwedans Dune Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 6 Aug 2017
"This place is extraordinarily fantastic. We were happy to just sit and soak up the ambience. Can recommend the massage and just sitting and enjoying the view. We did a morning drive on the day we departed - nice to have a look around but not many animals if that is what you are looking for, great scenery tho.The only negative was that the staff seemed incapable of booking scenic flights or balloon flights - there are brochures advertising these activities but it seemed impossible to organise either."

Ongava Lodge

"Ongava Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 14 Aug 2017
"A bit bigger than the other lodges we stayed at but comfortable and a great view over a waterhole from the restaurant - saw many animals come and have a drink including giraffe and black rhino. The game drives were some of the best we did - saw white rhino and lions. The staff are little disorganised but friendly."

1 night Arrived 18 Aug 2017
"Great location but a little contrived. It was nice to see leopard and cheetah but felt a little bit like it was cheating as they were so easy to find with the collars. We walked right up to 2 cheetahs - almost felt like they were tame. If you want to see these beautiful creatures then it is a great option but if you want the feeling of seeing them in the wild then maybe give it a miss."
