Fabulous road trip
Namibia between 15 May 2018 and 1 Jun 2018
Top marks to Josh for his overall efficiency and very engaging personality. It was always a pleasure chatting to him and nothing was too much trouble.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
To be honest I'm finding it difficult to suggest anything and that is because everything was perfect. The service we received from yourselves was exceptional and I say this as someone (not trying to sound big headed) who has travelled a lot since I began in 1973 ! Just keep up the good work. I'll be back !
Just one small point. I don't know what is happening with the proposed newsletter which I signed up for but I would recommend that you get it up and running as a priority. I think this is an ideal way of keeping past customers informed and a very effective way of getting new ones."

Olive Grove
"Quality stopover"

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch
"Room with a wonderful view"
I'm glad we had a 4WD car otherwise we would have struggled with the sandy parking area near the chalet.
The D road that accesses the property was one of the most challenging we encountered on our whole trip."

Fish River Lodge
"Amazing location"
The day trip down in to the Canyon with Engelbrecht was one of the outstanding highlights of the trip."

Desert Horse Inn
"Great location and food"
The food in the restaurant was the best we had on the whole trip and the price of the wine the best value for the quality as well.
Very well placed for visiting Kolmanskop and Luderitz."

Namib Outpost
"Tranquil location"
We were in Chalet 8. The view was great but it had limited clothes storage facilities and was quite a walk from the main building.
Breakfast was good but the service was slow and on the second morning was a bit slapdash. For example the woman who opened up (slightly late) for breakfast didn't say anything, she didn't leave any milk with the cereals and I had to plug in the toaster myself. Small points I know but telling ones for the quality of accommodation it promotes itself as being."

Cornerstone Guesthouse
"Quality accommodation"
Great service from all the staff especially Robyn and Peter.
Highly recommended."

Cape Cross Lodge
"Relaxing stopover"
Well appointed and spacious room with a great view of the Atlantic ocean.
The communal areas were quite cold during the evening."

Mowani Mountain Camp
"A real highlight"
The sundowner bar was a huge plus and we really enjoyed it both nights. Dinner/breakfast service was a bit erratic at times but overall very good. The elephant safari was excellent and our guide willy was outstanding.
The absence of internet access/wi fi is a big issue and a negative. Every other property (no matter how remote) we visited had it. Several other people we spoke to shared our concerns about this. It really does need addressing."

Okonjima Plains Camp
"Too short a stay !"
On arrival we wee upgraded to a View room which was massive and very well appointed. Indeed the view was excellent and we could watch loads of wildlife from our terrace.
The visit to the on site AfriCat Foundation Conservation Centre was a highlight.
Highly recommend overall."

"Nice B&B"
The personalised breakfast on the balcony was a nice touch.
Was good for a one night stopover prior to flying home but I wouldn't have wanted to stay longer."
