My Apr 2010 trip
Namibia and 2 other countries between 1 Apr 2010 and 2 May 2010
"Wonderful experience from planning stage to returning home. The variety of lodges/accomadation suggested by Tracy were superb, possibly our best holiday ever !!.
Car hire; Tracy recommended a 4x4 when pushed, accepted it was possible in a 2 WD, as indeed all brouchers indicate, not just EX AF. I would happily tell anyone that I made a mistake, and a 4x4 is essential. The gravel roads are so variable in quality throughout Namibia some rutted so badly or loosely laid that grounding is unavoidable at 20Kph, the C14,C19, C27 for example, in Etosha water flooding the road -- how deep?, fortunatly we remained dry.
Thanks Tracy for a wonderful trip
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No --- keep up your high standard of good work."

Due to flooding, we had to arrange for these travellers to be moved from Hakusembe River Lodge to Ngandu Safari Lodge.
