My Nov 2010 trip
Namibia between 27 Nov 2010 and 11 Dec 2010
"Absolutely fantastic - one of the best holidays we have been on! Namibia was a beautiful country with spectacular scenery and wildlife and lovely people. We will definitely go back.
Gwynneth couldn't have been more helpful with advice. Ellie was also helpful when our flight was delayed in giving us advice and booking us another hotel in Windhoek. Many thanks!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It may have been good to have more info on camping in Namibia. We met a few people doing that and this would be useful as a cheaper option as this is quite an expensive holiday!"

"Beautiful location and hotel. Fab swimming pool! Staff very friendly.
We did not do the activities via the hotel as easy enough to do ourselves.
We really loved this place."

4 Dec 2010
"Fantastic place - probably our favorite of the trip. We loved that you can sleep outside under the stars (although I was a bit afraid of porential leopards!).
Peter our guide was fantastic - really knowledgeable and friendly. We saw a Cheeter eating an ostrich it had recently killed as well as lots of desert elephants thanks to his tracking skills.
The views were fantastic from the hotel - perfect for sundowners."

"Great location next to waterhole - excellent for wildlife viewing although being the start of the rainy season less animals came after the heavy rain one night.
We didn't have high hopes for the food after hearing the reviews but we actually thought it was very good. Some of the steaks we had there were excellent."

"Lovely camp - quieter than the previous which was nice.
The waterhole was very nice - bit scary walking up there after dark though!
The restaurant staff were excellent. We arrived late for breakfast having done a 3 hour game drive and they made us sandwiches and drinks which was very kind."

"Again, a lovely hotel in a great location. We really enjoyed the sundowner walk.
It was a shame we had to go home and didn't have more time there. The managers were new and very friendly and helpful.
Fab place to end our trip."
