Namibia - August 2013
Namibia between 3 Aug 2013 and 18 Aug 2013
"Amazing experience. It is a great country with lovely people. The ideal first African experience.
We only wish we could have seen the Caprivi strip/push it to the Victoria falls instead of going back to Windhoek."

Okaukuejo Camp
"Go for the waterhole"
2 nights
Arrived
12 Aug 2013
"We were going to Okaukuejo for the waterhole and did not have high expectations for the camp itself.
We saw many animals (Rhinos, elephants...) so stopping there is a must at least one night. The camp was slightly above our expectations i.e. the room was clean and the swimming pool area ok, however, it is much less authentic than most lodges in Namibia.
The food is not great and the overall service/management is not a very pleasant experience (not helpful at all).
The night drive was an exceptional experience."

Onguma Camp Kala
"One word: Perfect"
1 night
Arrived
14 Aug 2013
"The concept is great, the camp very small and the food amazing for such a remote location.
We stayed only one night but it is well worth staying longer should you want to take a few days to rest."

Frans Indongo Lodge
"Good place to rest n the way back to Windhoek"
1 night
Arrived
16 Aug 2013
"It is a nice lodge but I would not shorten my trip to stay there.
It is more a lodge where people can have a nice afternoon/night on the way from/to Windhoek should the drive to/from the North seem too long."

Perhaps the swimming pool could be heated with solar panel so that it could be enjoyed during the whole year."
