My Apr 2024 trip

Namibia between 26 Apr 2024 and 26 May 2024

Trip rating: Excellent
"A fantastic trip, which exceeded our high expectations. We did a lot of driving of course, which is part of the adventure, roads were good.

Its had to think what we would have done even slightly different.

We came back full plans for next time."

"Fish River Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 3 May 2024
"Stunning location on the rim of the canyon, would be a bit warm in the rooms in summer as there's no aircon, a four wheel drive was a good idea on the gravel road that approached the entrance."

Fish River Canyon day trip

"Fish River Canyon day trip review"

4 May 2024 • All-day excursion

Its a long, but unforgettable drive to the bottom of the canyon.

In May, there was water in the river which was wonderful for a refreshing swim in a beautiful spot.

"In many ways the highlight of our amazing trip.

Sebastian was a fantastic guide and host.

We were snug in our sleeping bags, on the camp beds, staring in awe at the Milky Way, luckily the moon wasn't out."

Hoodia Sossusvlei excursion

Hoodia Sossusvlei excursion

"Hoodia Sossusvlei excursion review"

9 May 2024 • All-day excursion

Sossusvlei is something of a Namibia must see, which does mean there's a bit of a rush for the park gates when they open. The only time in Namibia we felt any concentration of tourists.

The huge dunes are very impressive and Deadvlei, is a photographers dream (wear oranges or bright red to make your photos really pop).

Very nice lunch and chat with Lucas our guide, then a visit to Sesriem Canyon, which is not far away but quite modest.

Etendeka Mountain Camp

Etendeka Mountain Camp

"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 18 May 2024
"This made a change from travelling between lodges, though the walking trail which they offer, would have been more what we needed.

We had two nights and it takes a 1.5hour rough drive from where you leave your vehicle to the camp, the activities were a short attractive walk in the morning, followed by a 5 hour break, then a sunset drive for 4hours."
