Too many highlights to pick a clear winner but if pushed the Game park drive at etosha and sunset cruise at chobe were amazing.

MT Sobek (Mountain Travel Sobek)

I always hope that my annual holiday will deliver a "wow" moment. This trip 
delivered three. Firstly, the trip from Sessriem to Walvis Bay was 
astonishing, passing through several radically different environments in one 
day - from the fringes of the Namib desert, via plains and mountains to the 
sea; then the incredible views from Vingerklip - reminiscent of California; 
then best of all the proliferation of wildlife at Etosha - we had 40 
elephants young and old playing at the waterhole just yards from where we 
were sitting at Okaukuejo. Then there were the walking lions, the sleeping 
lions, zebras, springbok, kudu and a dozen giraffes at another waterhole. Oh, 
we finally got to spot a family of wild cheetahs after a long game drive near 
Namatoni. Mustn't forget Dune 45 and Dead Vlei and the fact that often ours 
was the only vehicle on the road.
Etosha, Etosha, Etosha. I guess we were particularly lucky to visit during 
the dry season, but even though I knew our chances of seeing the "big" 
mammals would be good, I could not have predicted the vast numbers we 
actually saw. We ticked off more than 40 species of animal - birds and 
mammals - in Etosha overall.


Shane was quite a character who clearly knows Namibia well and is proud of 
his country. He ensured everyone in the group got what they wanted from the 
trip. Our driver, Benson, was also a star, coping with the harsh African 
roads, despite having to repair a double puncture and a shattered window. He 
also proved to be a decent campsite cook.


If you love spectacular scenery and spotting wild animals, then this is a 
must trip for you.


We took South African Rand to Namibia from the UK and this was readily 
accepted as if it was their own currency. We also flew out a day earlier than 
the group. This gave us a chance to look round Windhoek, but also meant we 
had the opportunity to recover from the overnight flight before starting the 
tour.

How many elephants does it take to fill a waterhole?

Discover Namibia - Camping

Whilst the driving at times becomes slightly tiresome the sights and nature 
where fantastic. The group were wonderful and the guide Ben was extremely 
informative.
At Etosha watering hole where we saw 30 elephants walking with there young


He was incredible


Bring a cushion for the trip and definitely bring some decent binoculars and 
camera


I would recommend it to anyone who loves animals

This trip combines the highlights of the Namibian landscape with game viewing 
in the parks.
The wildlife was the highlight for me.  The most memorable being the night 
drive when we found a lioness at the waterhole nearby, she got up and walked 
down the road in front of our truck roaring on the way. She then met up with 
a male and disappeared in to the scrub. On our return to camp that night, she 
was waiting at the roadside with her mate. My husband and I went to the camp 
waterhole on returning and found the male there.


Ronney was extremely hard working as he also did all the driving on the trip 
as well as guiding and organising. He was warm friendly, helpful and 
knowledgeable. Along with Jonas the cook the leaders made a good team.


Take any cash in South African rand, one Namibian dollar equalled one rand 
when I was there.  Namibian dollars are only available in Namibia and not 
exchangeable outside the country. Also, whilst you are there take advantage 
of all opportunities - you may never go back to Namibian.  My husband and I, 
went on the Dolphin cruise (a bit cheesy but fun) with sea lions and pelicans 
climbing on the boat as well as dolphins surfing in the wake. The flight, a 
very interesting perspective of the landscape. A full day and a night game 
drive and in Etosha, very enjoyable, the night drive was particularly 
interesting (my highlight of the trip). A game drive in Waterbury plateau 
which had rare species such as Roan and Sable antelope and rhino. Finally on 
the last day in Windhoek as our flight was not till the evening - we went to 
Okapuka Ranch - which was a delightful way to end the tour. The restaurant/ 
bar is beautifully designed with the seats viewing the grounds with animals 
grazing.


I travelled at the beginning of April by which time the wet season should of 
and apparently normally would of ended. However, I did have some rain. This 
meant that in the parks the animals did not need to congregate around the 
waterholes as water was available all around. An additional game drive was 
also cancelled due to the weather. On the plus side when climbing for example 
Dune 45 the temperature was cooler than it would be in the summer.

her for almost an hour. She then met up with a male and disappeared into the

her mate. My husband and I went to the camp waterhole when we got back and 
found the male there.  Just the two of us stood in the dark at almost 
midnight watching this magnificent creature!

Very good ,well organised holiday.
Enjoyed the hotel and camping food .
No day was boring.
Seeing a leopard.
Climbing sand dune 45 at sunrise.


Ronney was an excellent leader.
Communicated well with the group and took good care of us.


Take plenty of warm clothing in July August
We were surprised how cold it was at the start of the camping
Temperature in the north much much warmer .We went from one extreme to the 
other.
Camping is not glamping but one step up from my last camping trip as we had 
proper toilets and showers .
Quite a lot of travelling involved ,sometimes on bumpy terrain.


Very good holiday , but I would agree with ‘ not for the faint hearted’

The country is large, the roads are long and bumpy, however not an inch 
should be missed. Etosha and the dunes are particularly magnificent.
So many inspirational moments. Enduring image three oryx racing towards the 
dunes, leaving their perfectly formed tracks in their wake. .


Absolutely great, Not only with his driving which on a rainy day got 
particularly difficult but also with his perseverance in searching for the 
big photo ops. He was also informative with his tips regarding what we should 
be expected to pay for local crafts or even toilet fees. He has built a great 
relationship with local people to ensure the travellers can get the most out 
of their trip.


Make the most of the additional hikes and drives. I  particularly recommend 
the 2.5 hour flight over the sand dunes which was absolutely fabulous not 
enough words to describe how extensive the desert is.


Exodus, please add an extra day at Namib-Naukluft Park Desert, it was great 
and I would have enjoyed spending more time there, as would most of the other 
travellers on my trip.
