"Great Trip"
The accommodation was mostly outstanding - we could hardly believe some of the rooms were ours!
The itinerary worked really well. We were fortunate to see a huge amount of wildlife and to have the opportunity to enjoy the scale of the landscape. The roads were sometimes interesting! The Renault Duster was lovely to drive.
'Solitaire' was well worth a stop.

"My Aug 2019 trip"
We exchanged many emails and she was always kind and thoughtful with her answers. We really liked the leather travel folder and luggage tags. The travel folder was a good location to keep our documents and vouchers.
The booklet on Notes for Travelers to Namibia & The Coast was very helpful and I appreciated having it as a reference. It was good to know about tipping and the infrastructure. And that the tap water was safe to drink!
I found out about your travel organization because of the Namibia travel book written by Chris McIntyre. I'm excited to donate the new book that you sent along with my maps to the library. When I was researching Namibia, our library didn't have any travel books. Now they will!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Namibia trip
"EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME"
Maruska spent a lot of time tailoring the programme for us and answering ALL our questions (and we had a lot!) always in a very timely manner. Once in Namibia, everything went very smoothly and was easy.
We had an amazing time, in exceptional places and this trip would not have been possible without Maruska's help
Thank you!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We should do more advertisement in countries outside UK. I am a French national and my family was very keen using a French agency but after a few exchanges with Maruska I could tell she was more efficient/responsive than people at other agencies.
Great services, thank you so much!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
