Namibia between 14 Sep 2009 and 24 Sep 2009
"everything during the 6 week trip went like clockwork.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The driving was far easier than expected in both South Africa and Namibia, route 707 is a good road.
The only adverse comment we have to make is it is slightly misleading to make a half board booking without activities when clearly there is no alternative. Where we had booked full board on the days when we did not have lunch,a packed luch was no problem ."

"The whole 6 week trip went like clockwork, the car never let us down and we achieved everything we had planned and more.
Do visit Wabi Game Lodge at Waterberg Plateau on your next visit, we thoroughly enjoyed it and you might be pleasantly surprised. Avoid Clanwilliam Lodge and Trans Kalahari Inn at Windhoek."

We had good welcome on our arrival but the immediate pressure to go on the dessert elephant drive at what we felt was a very steep price, set us off on the wrong foot. The rest of our stay was fine but not outstanding . The Desert elephant drive was brilliant and we spent some time watching a family group which we did thoroughly enjoy but we felt at 1100$ each it was grossly over priced compared with the other trips, equally good, that we took in Namibia."
