My Jul 2024 trip

Namibia between 1 Jul 2024 and 11 Jul 2024

Trip rating: Excellent
"The trip of a lifetime and Expert Africa is the way to do it especially planning it last minute like we did!

No problems or hiccups and we have memories for life that can’t be explained in any word other than INCREDIBLE!

This was one of the best trips we ever took!

Only sad it had to eventually come to an end!
Time to plan the next one

Everything was amazing and we would use you guys again!

Thanks for an amazing trip!"

Hoodia Desert Lodge

Hoodia Desert Lodge

"Hoodia Desert Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 2 Jul 2024
"Loved our 2 nights at Hoodia!

The staff were amazing - shoutout to Lukas our guide to Sossusvlei - he went the extra mile every chance he could!

The facilities were amazing and the main lodge area superb!

The room layout could have been slight better and the food was not as good as Kalahari Red Dunes but we would stay here again!

Loved the outdoor shower and the pool was cold but lovely to use!

Where Hoodia shines it the tour to Sossusvlei and the FANTASTIC lunch table under the dunes!"

Strand Hotel

Strand Hotel

"Strand Hotel review"

2 nights Arrived 4 Jul 2024
"Lovely hotel - location is amazing and the rooms were great - they also were able to accommodate us in moving closer to the elevator!

It felt larger that I had hoped which is it’s only downfall as many tour groups were at the property too and it lost that intimate feel! Granted it is in a bigger city!

We would stay here again and were very happy with the hotel"

Life changing experience - and the best guide anyone could ask for - Rudy was beyond amazing!

This tour should NOT BE MISSED - can’t say anything bad about it and can’t say enough good things about it either! WOW!

"Doro Nawas review"

1 night Arrived 6 Jul 2024
"What a stunning lodge and amazing experience!

The only downsize is the difficulty for my elderly parents in getting to and from the main lodge for meals and activities but the staff did everything to help and accommodate us!

The activities and the food and the service - singing welcome was so great - all deserve high praise!

Sleeping under the stars was perhaps my favorite thing to do on the entire trip"

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

1 night Arrived 8 Jul 2024
"This lodge is all about the watering hole!

The accommodation being the premier chalets overlooking it - was amazing! So spacious and lovely!

Some smell from the bathroom but honestly couldn’t care because the views were so brilliant!

The food at the lodge isn’t great but again - the waterhole experience will change ur life forever!

Must stay and must see!"

Galton House

"Galton House review"

1 night Arrived 10 Jul 2024
"It was a perfectly great hotel but hard to compare it to the lodges we stayed at during the whole trip!

The staff - amazing - but the rooms felt closed in more than usual with it being a house and in the city!

Security was great and we felt safe and the food was lovely!

We would stay here again - a perfectly great above average guest house for a city and details in making us feel at home are clear and special!"
