Fulfilled all our expectaions

Namibia between 19 May 2008 and 31 May 2008

Trip rating: Excellent
"There is no comments section for internal flights between camps. [Ed: this refers to the 'feedback form' which these trvellers filled out about their trip] These were fine and we had no problems. Our pilot for one of our flights, Eric (or Erich) was particularly helpful.

Really enjoyed the whole trip. The suggestions by Expert Africa were all good, as was the time spent at each location.

We would not do it differently if we planned it now!"

Mountain Homestead, Namibia (this camp has since closed)

"Wonderful view and location"

3 nights Arrived 19 May 2008
"The food needs improvement and was not up to the standard of the camp. Lunches were not always filling.

A very friendly camp where it was easy to meet and mix with other guests.

The activities were 'full on' and there was very little spare time. It would have been helpful to know that we could opt in or out of some of them."

"Great design, good location"

2 nights Arrived 22 May 2008
"The room was in a good location, however it was damp and smelt mouldy.

The rooms were large, yet there was virtually no cupboard space."

Mowani Mountain Camp

"Wonderful view from tent"

2 nights Arrived 24 May 2008
"Most of the camps we stayed in were all-inclusive.

It is unclear why this camp is different and all activities and lunches have to be paid for separately. It seems a bit mean."

Ongava Lodge

"Amazing view of waterhole from our room"

3 nights Arrived 26 May 2008
"The location of the room was excellent, however the design of the room could be improved. The front door was glass, so people walking by can see into the room. Also, the outside shower is overlooked by the next room, so it loses its value.

The activities were from early morning to evening - partly due to distance of camp from Etosha. There was a lot of driving, and, even so, it was not possible to cover much of Etosha. Saw good viewings of game, including an amazing sighting of leopard.

We asked if it was possible to go on a nature walk, which we enjoyed. However, we had to ask for this as it was not offered.

The dining room was a bit chaotic and it was unclear where everyone was to sit at dinner, and nobody seemed to be taking orders for drinks."

Okonjima Bush Camp

"A good relaxing experience"

2 nights Arrived 29 May 2008
"A good place to relax before flying back home. The rooms were very comfortable and beautifully designed and we enjoyed extra touches like our own birdbath.

Although we support the objectives of Africat, we are less convinced that feeding animals, such as porcupines is helpful.

Very friendly camp, and easy to talk to other guests."
