Namibia between 22 Nov 2010 and 26 Nov 2010
"With only 4 days available I feel that with the help of Sabina Hekandjo I have had a perfect, albeit short, taste of Namibia.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not a one.
However having, it seems, run out of space to comment [Ed: earlier in this 'form' for our traveller's feedback], I would like to add that my trip to Namibia was a last minute thing and all I knew I wanted was 'Dunes', Kayaking and a lodge somewhere convenient. This lack of purpose could have been a recipe for disaster.
Thanks to Sabina, who literally planned every minute of my schedule and got me to Cape Town when I needed to be there, I have literally had the trip lf a lifetime."

Kayaking with seals
"A Namibian 'must do'"
23 Nov 2010 • Morning excursion
This was definately one of the highlights of the trip. Jeanne is an outstanding guide and clearly knows and loves the area. The salt water pools in amazing colours (green and pink) were extraordinary, the bay beautiful and we saw flamingo, jackals and of course 100s of seals. The Kayaking was fabulous and the whole trip perfectly organised from the clothing/equipment provided, instruction provided and commentary to the welcome and warming hot coffee and picnic provided at the end. Anyone visiting Walvis Bay must do this trip!

"The main lodge is delightful and the room/cottage spacious, confortable and beautifully decorated in a Namibian style with a private terrace giving access to the spectacular views. All the staff were very welcoming - nothing seemed too much trouble.
My guide, Robert, was outstanding, excellent company and added hugely to the trip with his extensive knowledge of the area and wildlife."

Room was light, airy and spacious. House boasts a pretty little garden. Owners were away and temporary host, Monica, could not have been more helpful. Staff also very attentive. Excellent breakfast.
Would recommend to those looking for a quiet location almost in the heart of town and well placed for restaurants, stores, the beachfront and general exploring.
Whilst here, we arranged a morning kayaking at Pelican Point for this traveller. She commented:
