Add your own reviewA Land of Diversity
Namibia did not disappoint, it is a land of diversity, deserts, small towns, nature, animals, friendly people. Although I dislike camping, it really was the only way to do it, it felt raw as if Namibia was outside my tent. Most of the campsites were okay. There were alot of early starts and long drives but it was the only way to get to places. The stops were interesting along the way.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first waterhole at Etosha Park. There were so many animals to see during the day, a herd of elephants with babies playing in the water giraffes, zebras, so many different types of unglazed. So many different types of birds. Both nights we were there black rhinos came down to drink one had a baby. Naturally during the day we saw more animals, highlight was seeing a pair of lions mating. Wonderful park with so many different areas to enjoy.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ronny was a super leader. He always had a smile on his face, even when he was asked the same questions. He was very proud of his country and loved to show it. He was so knowledgeable on history of the country. He was able to spot so many different birds even while driving safely. He with his Assistant,Mr Happy organised the camp very well.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take advantaged of the rest stops in hotels. Drink plenty of water walking sandals for the evening. Waterproofs if going in the rainy season. Take moizzie spray. Be prepared for anything. Take old clothes for most of the trip, pack a torch. Don't get stress at the airport in Ethiopia, as there is about 1 hr to catch tge connecting flight.
Suggestions
It's a long flight, niot really enough time to transit going. It is tge best way to see Namibia.
Fantastic moments
Namibia is a wonderful country, and in our experience full of happy people smiling! There has to be a lot of driving to see the main places, but it’s worth it.
Most Inspirational Moment
The trip to the desert, and to Etosha were magical. Some of us took a 4x4 vehicle over the sand dules which was very much worth the payment. Watching the wildlife come to you att he Okaukueja waterhole was excellent. We wended up having two nights here, and only one at Namutoni. This was good as the latter's waterhole is hardly visible and we never saw animals there.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gabriel was excellent at helping us get the best out of all the activities.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take eye drops for dusty eyes. And a plastic bag for your camera in the desert - if you drop it the iron oxide will damage the electronics. Your clothes will get incredibly dusty, but just accept that! The best place if you want small souvenirs is day 7 after you leave Brandberg - the craft market on the last day was disappointing.
Suggestions
There was a disappointment at Brandberg on the mornng before setting off. We were told we weren't doing the Painted White Lady trip as so many guides didn't rate it. Instaed we had a very average walk through the savannah. Even a rtiver bed walk (which we saw the previous evening on the game drive) would have had flowers and birds. Plus you are too far from the Brandberg location to actually appreciate it.

Amazing trip
The trip is a good a mix of seeing different destinations in Namibia and finding a lot of wildlife, particular in Etosha. The route is well planned and the long drive have a few stops with some good thought on why you stop there. The optional activities in Swakopmund where good (we did the boat tour and dune bashing, which was excellent)! I would recommend adding it to the main itinerary as it was probably our best day.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the only desert elephants in the world, which is an optional excursion (£17.50), should definitely be included in the itinerary. Sitting at the waterhole in Okaukuejo camp was unbelievable with constant wildlife (giraffes, elephants, rhinos, jackals, zebras, wildebeests etc) there for you to view.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gabriel was a very helpful and kind leader. He was extremely knowledgable about Namibia and all the wildlife it had to offer. He also had a good sense of humour and cooked good meals throughout the tour. The only thing to improve on would be the information on optional tours as we wouldn’t know until a few hours before and the clients would always bring it up. A simple sheet with trips, days and prices would have been perfect.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Ensure you pack good walking shoes and a thick coat/hat in winter as it gets very cold of a night. Food was good throughout and restaurants/cafes were mostly really good. Would be difficult for a vegetarian as most dishes are meat based.
Suggestions
The airline choice needs to change as Ethiopian airlines are the worst airline I have ever been on. They lost both check in bags on arrival, which took 4 days of the holiday to return. They then lost one of the check in bags on the return flight. On the flight I was served chicken which had completely gone off which was very clear from the look and smell. Check in staff were rude and unorganised in some of the airports. Not much more could have went wrong as the flights were so poor.
Fantastic trip
This is fantastic holiday, don’t hesitate to book it, this trip has varied landscapes, with the deserts in the south and national parks, with its varied wildlife in the north. There is a lot of long drives involved with this trip, up to 6 hours on some days, but that is part of the experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
There are a number of highlights in this trip, climbing the large sand dunes, feeding ostriches, seeing springboks bounding across the Etosha NP and other animals including Rhino, Zebra, Giraffe, Elephants, because of the rain in the park before we arrived we didn't see many animals around the water holes,
Thoughts on Group Leader
Shane was a great group leader, he was very informative, funny and well organised, he looked after us very well, nothing was to much trouble for for him, this was my 15th trip with exodus, and I think he was the best guide I have had, I would also like to thank Jonas, our cook for the week, he served up some great dishes during our trip, him and Shane worked well together, we had a big downpour of rain while they were packing up the tents, and they did it with a smile and a joke.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for some long drives and early starts, but it is worth it.
Suggestions
book it ..... its a fantastic place to see!
Highly Recommended
Busy holiday that introduces you to the delights of Namibia from the sand dunes to the Skeleton Coast and game drives in the national parks. We saw loads of wildlife but due to an extended rainy season the waterholes at the campsites were not remotely busy or active, and the big cats were not seen at all. However, the tour guide was fabulous, and I loved every minute of the trip. My only wish was that we had more time there!
Most Inspirational Moment
There are too many: climbing the sand dunes, seeing Deadvlei, flight from Swakopmund, Dune explore and sand boarding, sky dive, getting up close to ostrich, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, rhino, warthog, dikdik and many more. I also had a great time chatting to the stall holders at the craft market.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Shane was fabulous. Tireless in keeping everything running smoothly and constantly cheerful. His knowledge of his country and of the flora and fauna is excellent.
Suggestions
This is a fabulous country to visit. The people are very friendly and happy to have a chat, or to sell you their crafts and all speak English. Sense of humour essential!
Wowed by the beauty
Great trip for wildlife and desert scenery. I was wowed by the beauty of the Namib desert colours and by the wide variety of animal life we saw both in the desert and Etosha further north.
Most Inspirational Moment
The sunrise in the Namib desert seen from the top of Dune 45.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide was friendly and enthusiastic and most importantly very knowledgable about the animals and country and a great animal spotter as we drove along!
Advice for Potential Travellers
July is a good time to go despite the freezing cold nights as the animals come to drink at the waterholes. Do buy souvenirs directly from the Himba and Herrera people when you get the chance as they have the best range of the things they make. You won't be able to get them in regular shops. Useful to have earplugs (for snorers) really warm jackets, and something to protect your face from dust during game drives in open sided vehicles.
Excellent Trip
Good company, good leaders, good food, good experiences.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the family of sixteen lions playing at the waterhole.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ronney was excellent. Understated but friendly, worked extremely hard, informative and a very good driver.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take warm clothing because sleeping in the tents was cold at night in June.
Excellent trip
There are quite a lot of long drives on bumpy dusty roads but this is unavoidable with a trip that takes in so much of the country. The itinerary keeps you busy with a good mixture of culture and wildlife. Camp sites all had excellent facilities and toilets were first class. Tents were comfortable
Most Inspirational Moment
Etosha game park was fantastic and we were able to spot most types of animals. Floodlit water holes were excellent. Dunes, canyon and rock paintings also very interesting
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ronney was excellent. A mine of information on every subject and always trying to please. His ability to spot wildlife from hundreds of meters away was astounding. Cook, Jonas had a lovely personality and created some fantastic dishes over an open fire
Advice for Potential Travellers
Prepare to get dusty and windswept when traveling
Suggestions
Only disappointment was the design of the truck whereby you were unable to see out the front. Felt that you may be missing some of the scenery
AZN
Amazing desert sand dunes and night sky, astonishing ancient rock paintings, beautiful diverse wildlife
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking sand dune 45, rock paintings, black rhinos at night waterhole, elephants, and elegance of antelopes.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very good. Would have liked more info about various aspects of Namibia. But layout of minibus was counterproductive, as we were sitting much higher, leader was driving in separate cabin area, and spoke with microphone.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Check temperatures before going
Suggestions
Minbus was not good design [see above]. Also the front window between driver and passengers was split in two horizontally, so we could see very little through the front, as top window was too high and bottom window was too low.
