I've done many group trips as well as a lot of independent travel but this was simply one of my best travel experiences. A fantastic group and wonderful leader team obviously helped but even without those this is an amazing country with spectacular vistas, ever surprising and wonderful wildlife and all under the bluest of blue skies. There is some amazing variety from the dry salt pans to the mountainous shifting dunes, huge landscapes that reach past the horizon, the strange charm of the coast and Swakopmund, the ever smiling people, the ease of travel, the facilities at the campsites and the wildlife...seeing the waterhole in the Etosha camp for the first time was a hairs on the back of the neck moment.
An excellent adventure. We had a exceptional guide and 2 fantastic cooks. The scenery was out of this world and even the long journeys were interesting and full of wildlife spotting.
We enjoyed the experience but the accommodations were disappointing. Johannes is a great guide. The itinerary did not match up to what you advertised. All in all a good experience despite the downfalls but this doesn?t mean you shouldn?t improve the areas that need improvement.
