Namibia Camping Safari
The 6 day camping safari in the Namib Desert was brilliant. Excellent value for money. Organised through Chameleon Safaris. Our guide and driver Simon really made a difference. His knowledge of the environment and animals was very good, as was his his general knowledge and history. Enjoyed some fascinating discussions over dinner.
The campsites were very well organised. Great amenities.
Who could go to Etosha and not be impressed.

Amazing desert colours, the night sky heavy with stars
Mighty nature that grabs you and make you feel as small as any grain of the desert sand.
Amazing desert colours and velvet vibe of the sunset touching not only the eyes, but the soul too. The night sky was heavy with stars that seemed to pour down on the Earth.
Gloomy, stormy ocean, cute giraffes and baboons...
Delicious meal, cossy desert camps, attractive people friendly and positive.
Art, crafts and souvenirs you buy from everywhere will keep your memories more live and colourful.
Namibia is in my heart.

Brilliant Contrasts

at Cape Cross including routinely clubbing thousands of seal pups. I'll end on a brighter note. Our private guide Leonard with People's Tours was exemplary. He showed flexibility and consistent sensitivity to our needs, thorough knowledge of the country and animals, and even an appreciation of my twisted sense of humor. I highly recommend a private tour with him.

We experienced a raw, scenic beauty driving through the deserts and wildlife rich regions of Namibia
From entering Namibia at the Orange River, to The Fish River Canyon, Sossusvlei, Grootberg, Etosha and Kalahari, we enjoyed unique landscape and wildlife experiences. I can highly recommend Namibia as an incredible country and destination.

Beauty untold
My trip to Namibia was absolutely a fantastic experience from the word go. The tour was well planned and we had an excellent, informative guide. We stayed at really wonderful guestfarms and lodges and the food was really great. Namibia is truly beautiful with a lot of contrasts and history. Etosha was a highlight as well as the dunes at Sossusvlei. I will do it again in a heartbeat.

A beautiful, safe and interesting country with a variety of places to visit and friendly people.
Namibia is a safe and interesting country with great highlights. The sand dunes, Soussusvlei and the desert offer an unforgetable experience. The people are very friendly and prond to share their culture with turists.

Namibia is beautiful and you will fall in love with the people!
Best experience was walking with the San people. Explaining their culture and how they live in the bush was incredible! Also visiting the Namib Desert and Sandwhich Harbor was absolutely beautiful.

Such a diverse range of experiences - from scenery to coast, wildlife, culture and hiking.
We visited Swakopmund, but didn't have time for any of the sea activities - however,

the town itself is well worth a walk around. The architecture is interesting, with the German heritage, and we found a terrific bar - Bar Zonder Naam (the Bar Without a Name) - and also ate at the Blue Grass Restaurant, where the food and atmosphere were equally good. It was just a shame it was foggy and raining, so we didn't get the sea views! We did visit the Crystal Centre - again, well worth it, some stunning displays of a huge range of crystals, all mined in Namibia.Our final destination was Etosha National Park, where we stayed at the Namutoni Lodge. Such a nice place - a good restaurant, swimming pool, clever design of the accommodation, with palisades around the front and back of each room, so you feel as though you're in a native compound or village. There's also a viewing platform overlooking a watering hole - great for a sunset visit to see the wildlife, while drinking a beer. We went on several safari drives - one memorable moment was when nearly 30 elephants slowly made their way past us, at a watering hole, and lined up in one long row to drink. Lots of zebra, impala, springbok, oryx, wildebeest, kudu, warthogs, some glimpses of leopard and rhino. But, most memorably - lions. Or rather, one lion and his mate, relaxing under a bush.
One small thing to note - most of the public toilets en route require a payment of just 2 or 3 rand. Also at the supermarket and restaurant carparks and petrol stations, it's customary to give 3-5 rand to the parking and fuel attendants. This means you need to change a larger note down to small notes or coins, so you have a kitty.
Obviously, if you have longer to visit, you could see more, or stay longer in one place - we did cover a lot of miles in a short space of time. But it's perfectly do-able to get a really good taste of Namibia in a week, with a night either end to allow for flying in and out of Windhoek.
Overall, we had a really lovely time - Namibia is certainly a great country to visit.

Very interesting and varied
Learnt a lot about deserts. Liked the Skeleton coast (but it was cold!). The safari in Etosha was a highlight. Most of the lodges were good and the food good also.
