Namibia 2019
Namibia between 14 Oct 2019 and 25 Oct 2019
Due to the landscape we found our Namibian safari totally different to the others that we have been on. An amazing place with amazing people, animals and lodges - they all contributed to make this a memorable holiday experience

Olive Grove
"Overnight stay at Olive Grove"

Desert Rhino Camp
"Great Rhino tracking camp"
Our guide Moses was excellent and, together with a great team of trackers, we were lucky enough to get close, on foot, to a black Rhino (we made sure that we were even closer to our Safari Truck!).
Great game drives, great staff and food and we ended up with a camp fire meal out in the bush."

Ongava Lodge
"Luxury at Ongava Lodge"
The adjacent waterhole attracted plenty of animals and it was a pleasure to dine whilst watching them drink. Food was excellent and, as with everywhere we went, the staff were very helpful and courteous.
Franz was our excellent guide and our Safaris included a visit to Etosha National Park.
Maybe visitors should be warned that the number of steps can be quite trying, especially as, some days, it was over 100 F."

Onguma The Fort
"The desert fort"
Thoroughly enjoyable drive from Ongave to the fort. Pandu, our excellent driver, took us through Etoshi and stopped whenever we saw something interesting.
David our guide was extremely knowledgeable and he, along with the staff at the fort, could not have treated us any better."

Okonjima Bush Camp
"Okonjima, our final camp"
Again everything was brilliant - our guide Opari, the staff and the food. Had a great morning at the Africat centre to see the rescued cheetahs, etc. In the afternoon we tracked, on foot, two white rhinos. Got pretty close but we were always confident that our tracker knew what he was doing. Plenty of wildlife in this area as it was not as dry as the areas of the other camps.
Our day finished with a close up encounter between a leopard and a brown hyena. A lot of growling but nobody got hurt."
