My Jun 2012 trip
Namibia between 9 Jun 2012 and 21 Jun 2012
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It is very difficult to get the information and feel for the country you have never been to, and how things are done in each location. In that sense, the details were not communicated well to our needs.
It is easy to say, "please ask any questions if you have", rather than " please check this," or " did you know this?" to make sure that we understand the same thing. Many things are assumed to be understood. The communication was always initiated by me.
The child age should be considered individually by the height, not by age. Our daughter had never been a problem to any lodge. Given her age is 11.5 and she is tall."

Olive Grove
"very pleasant, good food, good service."

Camp Kipwe
"This is the review of Mowani Mountain Lodge"
Great location overlooking the red boulders scenery. They also have the sunset view area with a Bar, and a small pool. Our room had a nice view, spacious. The staff was all friendly and service was great. We had 2 guides and both are completely different in style and knowledge, so it is good to go out with different guide each morning, afternoon.
If you ever go to Namibia in June, it is very cold in the morning, and at night so bring a warm clothes."

Anderssons Camp, Namibia (this camp has since closed)
"Nice Tent camp"
The canvas tent was basic, but there was enough hot water for shower, and no complain. The food was delicious, home cooking taste. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had Ramon as our guide, and he was very good in his energy, knowledge and he was very sincere.
Etosha park was a litte drive from the camp, and we wonder why we needed to leave so early when it was so cold and animals were even not at the water pan. He took us to the night drive in the reserve."

Mushara Lodge
"Mushara Lodge review"
After visiting Etosha park from Anderson Camp, we saw some different animals and the east side of the park was more quiet. We saw lions mating and spotted the Rhino."

Nhoma Camp
"Nhoma Camp review"
The walk with bushman in the morning, some demonstrations of making arrows, starting fire, preparing food etc at the village, and watching the healing dance at night were all very interesting and special.
The food was very good, and the canvas tent was nice with a bath tub. This visit was right after visiting Etosha National Park(Big animal park), so we really felt that we were able to see the real things here. Many thanks to Arno."

Okonjima Bush Suite
"Okonjima Bush Suite review"
Okonjima has a private reserve with Leopard and Cheetahs with collars, so it was easier to trek them. We saw Leopard almost killing a warthog, and many many cheetahs, and many more animals.
Our guide Martin was a very good guide, too. The Suite was so nice that we wanted to just spend more time than going out to see animals."
It was a very nice modern place with nice garden and a small "pool" so we kept on saying we did not feel like we were in Namibia. We ate a light meal in the afternoon after walking to the downtown.--It is about 10~15 minutes walk. Breakfast was also good.
Free internet access is in the lounge, and service was excellent."
