My Oct 2011 trip

Namibia and 1 other country between 17 Oct 2011 and 3 Nov 2011

Trip rating: Good
"This was our second visit to Namibia with Expert Africa.

It was a well-planned itinerary and we found that although the distances looked vast on the map, they were feasible. A fascinating trip.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Mrs. V felt that provision of hairdryers where possible would have made the trip even better."

Arranged By Sabina Hekandjo

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 20 Oct 2011
"Although room was clean and pleasant, the bathroom was basic and there was no hot water at any time.

Food was reasonable but unimaginative; vegetables overcooked but good selection of meats."

Namutoni Camp

"Namutoni Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 22 Oct 2011
"Renovated since our last visit but showing lack of general maintenance: wooden walkway had number of loose planks and bathroom taps were coming away from wall.

Food did not live up to setting of restaurant court - had to complain about toughness of meat; vegetables again overcooked."

Nkwazi Lodge, Namibia (this camp has since closed)

"Nkwazi Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 24 Oct 2011
"Experience in such 'open' accommodation somewhat marred by strong winds and thunderstorms throughout the night. Mosquito nets near end of useful life!

Good overnight stop on the way to Caprivi. Friendly and helpful hosts."

Namushasha Lodge

"Namushasha Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 27 Oct 2011
"This lodge had the feeling of being somewhat run-down. Although we were in the 'best' accommodation, pillows were smelly and on complaining they were replaced with equally smelly ones!

Chairs in bar were shabby as were those on our balcony. Meal staff were obliging but dozy. Good wildlife safari to Bwabwata.

Uneasy about river safari as it verged on teasing the hippos."

Nxamaseri Lodge

"Nxamaseri Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Oct 2011
"Although a range of activities are advertised, this really is a fishing lodge.

Having said that, Dave's venture into fishing was very successful; Mrs. V felt a bit isolated as she was the only woman there apart from staff. Staff very friendly and hospitable."
