Seriously good. Most enjoyable.
Namibia between 21 Oct 2013 and 7 Nov 2013
"Loved Namibia, particularly its geological diversity. Easy driving. Good food - particularly if you are a 'free-range' meat-eater.
Highlights: walk down the Quiver Tree Gorge in the Naukluft, Sessriem dune walks and Dead Vlei, reptile tracking in the desert, moonlit dinner at Ongava.
Swakopmund rather dull and uninteresting - but we expected this. Enjoyed the tented camps."

"Wonderful location. But regrettably let down by poor staff and average food. Clearly no manager in charge. Room safe was missing. Other guests complained of no hot water and sewage smells.
Excellent day out with guide tracking elephants."
