My Jul 2024 trip
Namibia between 1 Jul 2024 and 11 Jul 2024
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!"

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!"

The guide - the lunch - the service - the location - the knowledge and patience of the guide - everything was way beyond what we expected - loved this sooooo much

Strand Hotel
"Strand Hotel review"
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"

"Doro Nawas review"
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"

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!"

TRULY a gorgeous lodge and such a fantastic way to end the trip! Loved everything about our experience here!
The main lodge is gorgeous too and the inclusion of mini bar and drinks like kalahari red dunes makes it feel so special!
Beyond amazing"

Galton House
"Galton House review"
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!"
Might be our favorite of the trip! From the staff to the luxury accommodation to the best food and service - we felt so welcomed and it was truly top tier in every way!
Saw lots of annimals too!
Our only regret it that we didn’t stay here longer!"
