My Oct 2012 trip
Namibia between 5 Oct 2012 and 25 Oct 2012
"A great trip, very varied & we feel that we've seen as much of Namibia as we could have done in the time available.
Advice re itinerary, locations & alternatives (after the fire) were innovative & faultless.
Only suggestion we'd make is to stress the importance of getting the correct electrical adaptors (our "alleged" international one didn't work) in your pre holiday paperwork.. Thank you."

"The facilities, food & activities were all great, however, felt the overall experience was slightly less brilliant than other experiences.

Wolwedans Desert Lodge
"Wolwedans Dunes Lodge review"
3 nights
Arrived
16 Oct 2012
"Great experience & although relatively close to Kulala a completely different environment & set of activities. The scenery was breathtaking & our guide (Alpha) was excellent in showing it to us.
Damaged my back on the 3rd day, however, the staff were very helpful, attentive & caring (e.g. dinner in the tent).
Fascinated by their "Eco" efforts & their garden.
Food was excellent, however, meat dishes need to be more varied rather than just various types of steak."
