Amazing Namibia
Namibia between 14 Aug 2009 and 10 Sep 2009
"Wonderful trip. Namibia is a great place for a holiday. It has amazing scenery and wildlife, excellent accomodation and a good road network. We found traveling around by car easy and safe.
There is very little traffic, even on the major roads. Any problems we did have, mainly punctures, were quickly solved. Even though we were there in the main tourist season none of the places we visited seemed crowded.
Suggestions for improvements:
No. Tracey gave us excellent advice when we were planning our trip and very helpfully answered our numerous questions."

Sossus Dune Lodge

Arrived
19 Aug 2009
"A great place to stay inside the park so you are able to enjoy sunrise and sunset without having to dash to or from the gate at opening and closing times.
Only thing that lets it down are the dining arrangements. The kitchen is so far removed from the dining area food arrives cold which is a pity because the food itself is good."

2 nights
Arrived
29 Aug 2009
"Although not up to the same standards for food and service as many of the private lodges this is a great place to stay while visiting Etosha. The waterhole is a fantastic place to spend a few hours especially after dark.
Breakfast and dinner were buffet style. Food was plentiful and of a reasonable standard."

Arrived
1 Sep 2009
"A lovely place to stay and relax for a few nights and very convenient for visiting the eastern side of Etosha.
Although small the waterhole can be very good at anytime of the day and can be enjoyed from the bar, dining area and your own tent.
The wine cellar has to be seen to be believed."

"Sadly no rehabilitating Cheetahs were present during our stay but this was made up for by wonderful sightings of a leopard and a cub.
The night hide was well worth the trip especially the views of the porcupines."
