A memorable trip !
Namibia between 30 Aug 2023 and 16 Sep 2023
Accommodation everywhere was excellent. Food for a carnivore was outstanding.
Be aware that many of the gravel roads are very poor and challenging to drive on, especially in an SUV."

Wolwedans Dune Camp
"Wolwedans Dune Camp review"
Breakfast and lunch were good but evening meals were disappointing - food was luke- warm and one evening they forgot Julia's food and commented that "well. you don't eat much anyway". They managed to put something together but it was cold. Our understanding is that the food was cooked at the main camp and transferred by jeep on a 15 minute journey.
The camp was in a beautiful setting and the drives and guide (Tabitha) were superb."

Hoodia Sossusvlei excursion
"Hoodia Sossusvlei excursion review"
4 Sep 2023 • All-day excursion
The scenery was mind-blowing.

Strand Hotel
"Strand Hotel review"
The room was good, however, some of the power points did not work and we were unable to book into one of the hotel restaurant of our choice on one night, even though we were guests.
At breakfast, we ordered eggs with mushroom and tomatoes. The latter were both served cold as we hadn't asked for them to be heated. Most strange !"

Coast and Sandwich Harbour
"Coast and Sandwich Harbour review"
6 Sep 2023 • All-day excursion
Only negative was that Julia was served Oryx Lasagne for lunch, despite her having previously requested no red meat.

Mowani Mountain Camp
"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
Food was excellent and our guide, Rosie, was outstanding. She even has a herd of Desert Elephants named after her !
Only drawback was the terrible gravel road, D2612, off the C35 to get to the camp. It was totally unsuitable for an SUV. We'd have been better off taking a long detour and staying on the C35. Future gests should be warned of this."

We did 2 Sundowners, which were both good although the number of wildlife sightings was poor.
We did a morning game drive into Etosha which was outstanding."
