My Sep 2022 trip
Namibia between 11 Sep 2022 and 1 Oct 2022
"We had an absolutely amazing time in Namibia, and it was well worth the wait after two years of COVID cancellations.
Sabina was excellent in rearranging our accommodation three times and it was lovely to actually meet her in Windhoek.
We are already thinking about a return journey where we'd like to take in Caprivi & Victoria Falls..."

Waterberg Plateau Lodge
"Waterberg Plateau Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
14 Sep 2022
"Lovely location - basic accommodation & poor food.
Rhino drive was disappointing - guide had very little knowledge when asked questions, and overall impression was he wanted to get it over and done with as quickly as he could.
Concern for the welfare of the rhino’s as many people were arriving at the same time and they were clearly agitated.
Guide was encouraging people to stand close to the rhino's to have their photographs taken which didn't seem quite right for the animals."

Did both the evening & morning game drives which were very good with knowledgeable guides.

Could have done without the 80's disco blasting out from a local restaurant for the best part of 12 hours on our first day though!"
