My Jul 2022 trip

Namibia and 1 other country between 30 Jul 2022 and 17 Aug 2022

Trip rating: Excellent
"Good trip overall, a lot of variety and different environments/wildlife to see.

Flying made it a lot faster to get around, which made it easier to see more things (worth the cost)."

Kulala Desert Lodge

Kulala Desert Lodge

"Kulala Desert Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 30 Jul 2022
"Good camp, but the location is the key here.

Private entrance to the park will give you more time with the dunes.

Rooms and food are decent, wildlife is a little hit/miss, but that's not the attraction here.

Comment on private guide at Kulala:

Excellent guiding and helped with photographic locations/positions."

Desert Rhino Camp

Desert Rhino Camp

"Desert Rhino Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 2 Aug 2022
"Excellent camp with amazing staff.

The rhino tracking is great (assuming they don't run away immediately).

The staff at the camp is amazing and will do whatever is needed to give you a great stay.

Comment on private guide at Desert Rhino Camp:

Excellent guiding with a lot of patience (needed here).

We spent multiple days looking for the elephants and the guide was always willing to help and do his best (despite lack of luck right up until the end)"

Andersson's at Ongava

Andersson's at Ongava

"Andersson's at Ongava review"

3 nights Arrived 5 Aug 2022
"Great camp with good staff. While it is next door to Etosha, the private reserve here is just as good, if not better.

Saw at least 20 rhinos (black and white) over 3 days, lots of cats, and other animals, but none of the crowds in Etosha.

Comment on private guide at Anderssons':

Good guides with passion and patience and good knowledge of camera positioning for wildlife and lighting."

Onguma Tented Camp

Onguma Tented Camp

"Onguma Tented Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 8 Aug 2022
"Nice camp, but it felt a little off. Didn't seem to have the charm and authenticity of other camps.

Food and rooms were nice, wildlife on the reserve was very hit or miss (barely saw anything in the reserve itself, especially compared to other private areas around Etosha like Ongava, which has a lot of wildlife)."

Nambwa Tented Lodge

"Nambwa Tented Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 12 Aug 2022
"Gem of a camp in a quiet park.

Amazing staff and rooms/facilities, as well as a lot of wildlife and almost no crowds. 4 of the big 5 (no rhinos, but the rest of Namibia has a lot of those), as well as dogs and lots of birds.

One of the best stays on my trip across Namibia."

Chobe Elephant Camp

Chobe Elephant Camp

"Chobe Elephant Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 14 Aug 2022
"Good camp and location, though not as upscale as many of its neighbors (though plenty nice), but the park can be quiet crowded (20+ cars around or waiting to see lions).

Comment on private guide at Chobe Elephant Camp:

Good guide, though the park limits the abilities to find wildlife away from the crowds."
