My Oct 2008 trip
Namibia and 1 other country between 17 Oct 2008 and 8 Nov 2008
"An excellent holiday all round
One big plus was that we stopped off on the way in order to meet some local people, who gave us a real insight into the pleasures and problems of living in Namibia.
The one hiccup came at Cape Town airport when the car failed to materialise. We therefore had to take a taxi to the vineyard.
Can I send you the receipt for reimbursement?"

"Wonderful setting; very friendly service which was not always very efficient.
Fantastic situation for visiting Sossusflei, but travelling in the early morning in an open Land Rover, we were as cold as we have been in years."

"We really enjoyed it in Swakopmund.The trip to Sandwich bay was superb, and the guide, Ernst, really informative.
Good local restaurants, and a really interesting musem.
The owner and his wife ran the place with a rod of iron, but believe it or not this, perversely, seemed to add to the enjoyment."

The guide was friendly and relatively informative.
Service was effusive but not always efficient."
