A very good holiday
Namibia and 2 other countries between 3 Sep 2011 and 18 Sep 2011
"An excellent trip - we enjoyed all the places we stayed & everything went smoothly.
We were really helped by the advice we had from Gwynneth - she was knowledgeable and pragmatic about what we could do and what would be most fun."

Mazambala Island Lodge, Namibia (this camp has since closed)
"Mazambala Island Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
9 Sep 2011
"A lovely site, & we really enjoyed opur river trip. Our game drive was taken by a guide new to the lodge, who didn't appear to know the park (or how to drive the vehicle in difficult terrain) very well yet.
Although another guide sat at the back to watch & assist/prompt him, it meant the trip was overlong & not as informative as elsewhere."

Shinde Camp
"Shinde Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
13 Sep 2011
"A great place. We really liked the personal approach - adapting both timing & content of activities to fit our preferences and timetable, and even running an extra game drive one lunchtime because the morning drive spotted a leopard.
The camp itself was really comfortable & welcoming & all staff friendly and helpful."

The River Club
"River Club review"
2 nights
Arrived
15 Sep 2011
"A very nice place, with big comfortable rooms & a friendly attitude We did have one problem - they did not warn us that the window screens did not keep flies & moths out, so we left lights on while changing for supper & attraced a roomful. Staff came to kill them but the dead bodies littered the floor till next day.
We did an excellent trip from here to Livingston Island to swim on the edge of the Falls - a brilliant end to the holiday (though not for swimmers who lack confidence!)"
