Wild camping out in the middle of nowhere where the stars lit up the night sky and there were no other humans for miles around. Watching a huge herd of elephant bathing and playing in the waterhole. Finding a family of desrt elephants and wathcing the eat and play.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hans was incredibly well organised. He lead the team well and the way they set up the camp each night and the amazing food that they created over the camp fires made the holiday experience exceptional. Mathias was the guid in my vehicle and he had eagle eyes for spotting the wildlife, he was very knowledgeable about all things Namibia; there were no questions he couldn't answer and he had a great sense of humour so there were lots of laughs on the long drives.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for all extremes of temperatures, we had some very cold nights but also some warmer evenings and some hot days.

This was an amazing holiday that I will never forget. Namibia is extraordinarily beautiful and I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for wildlife, wilderness and scenery.

Coming across the desert elephants in the Palmweg concession, and the lions, giraffes, mountain zebra and all the other wonderful animals.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hans was a star. Even when we had technical problems with vehicles he was calm and confident.  He's a great cook!  

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take thermals for ice cold nights under canvas in the desert.  Mornings were cold up to about 11am. 

Suggestions

This was a five star trip.  Not only did we see the whole range of animals in Etosha where animals gather at watering holes but we saw a wonderful selection of wild life in the completely wild conditions of Damaraland. Our co-leader Charles was a bird expert and the long-lens boys took photos of a lifeltime.  The atmosphere of the trip was relaxed and friendly.

We saw a lot, but could perhaps have done with a couple more 2 night stays. This would make the trip more relaxing, and also easier for the camp assistants.
