My Sep 2023 trip
Namibia between 15 Sep 2023 and 29 Sep 2023
"I was completely impressed with how well all the details of our travels were handled. Everything worked like clockwork. All the moving parts fit together and timing was superb.
Maruska set up and helped us with our trip at every turn, great advice, great execution, couldn’t be more pleased.
Wilderness Camps deserves high praise, well run company, efficient, on time, dependable.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No suggestions for improvement, none needed"

"We enjoyed our stay here ,clean, great staff, region is very austere, glad we only planned on one night here, guide took us to big daddy dune walk, none of us new what to expect or how long it would be, he let some of our group go without taking water along and I thought it was his responsibility to make sure we were prepared better, but I liked him and was happy with everything else"

Andersson's at Ongava
"Andersson's at Ongava review"
3 nights
Arrived
25 Sep 2023
"Great property, clean and modern rooms, great food, staff not as motivated as those at Wilderness Camps but still great, trip to Etosha park was least favorite part of trip because of traffic, dust.
Too many people for me so we only went once but did see a lot of animals. We felt that staying in Ongava itself was more interesting so the rest of our rides occurred here.
Walk tracking rhino was fun and got very close to 2 of them"
