Overall Impressions
Fabulous!
Countries Visited
Namibia 5
Loved going back after c.25 years. Hotels/lodges had very high standards, driving fine and game viewing/desert visit exceptional.
South Africa 4
Loved Cape Town, especially seeing friends and following our son's rugby tour, but much harder to relax than in Namibia due to social tensions.
Accommodation Visited
The Olive Exclusive All-Suite Hotel 5
Very comfortable and extremely stylish. Wonderful food.
Okonjima Luxury Bush Camp 5
Comfortable, stylish and wonderful guide - saw 2 adult leopards and a cub plus an adult cheetah with her cub, all in an afternoon and a morning!
Mokuti Lodge 3
Rooms comfortable if a little plain, communal areas and food fine - in keeping with it being a larger lodge than others. Check-in was very slow which prevented going into Etosha on the afternoon we arrived.
Ongava Tented Camp 5
Simply wonderful. Great viewings at the camp waterhole and on drives.
Meike?s Guesthouse 3
Absolutely fine for a stopover night which is what we were doing. Meike very helpful in finding us a table booking.
Agama River Camp 5
Comfortable though plain cottages but very pleasant communal area (newly enclosed under thatch), great food and wonderful views.
River Crossing Lodge 4
Comfortable rooms, wonderful views. Communal areas a little plain. Food good rather than excellent.
Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport 5
Superb in all respects. Extraordinary that an airport hotel could be this high quality. Garden a delight.
Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront, Cape Town 5
Excellent, very comfortable. Watched dolphins in Table Mountain bay during breakfast! Added a lot to be directly on the water rather than a block or two inland.
Staff Review 5
Extremely helpful and a pleasure to interact with.
