NAMIBIA HOLIDAY REVIEWS
Namibia
Its towns and cities echoing a tyrannical German colonial era, the now independent country of Namibia with its desolate “Skeleton Coast” on the southern Atlantic shores of Africa is an intriguing holiday destination. Namibia is vast but sparsely populated, leaving plenty of wide open spaces filled with contrasting landscapes, from the dunes of themore

Namibia the savage - Gin Greenwood-Warner. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Please do not support Namibia. The beaches are awash with the blood of 80,000 baby seal pups. It is the most barbaric thing I have ever seen. One minute they are fluffy babies drinking on their mothers feeling safe and happy and the next they're been stabbed and worse, skinned alive. They try desperately to get away from this but the butchers hold on until it flops down a little pile of raw flesh. If you want footage I will happily send it to you. It is happening right now.

Namibian diversity - Francis De Wet. Date of travel: Jun 2006
What a wonderfully scenic country! The diversity in landscapes is incredible and a real photographer's delight - from the Fish River Canyon to the dunes at Sossusvlei, the granite massifs at Spitzkoppe, Waterberg Plateau and the rugged coastline, and the 'big sky' over Etosha pan. Unfortunately early mornings are a must - don't miss sunrise at Spitzkoppe (the camping is spectacular and right among the breathtaking rock formations), or at Sossusvlei, and early morning drives in Etosha are the best time to spot animals, including leopard. The driving distances are big, but the scenery along the way is spectacular.

Experience of a life time - Ulrich Dannecker. Date of travel: Oct 2005
My recent trip through the vast and often underrated Namibia, proved to be an experience of a life time. Ranging from the Namib Desert to the Etosha Game Park, the scenery and wildlife is abolutely breathtaking. In Etosha, you can see the Big 5, roaming free as nature had intended them to be. The overnight camps have luxurious cottages and rooms, available to hire at very reasonable prices.

The sights are breathtaking - Ulrich Dannecker. Date of travel: Apr 2005
Our 2 weeks travelling through Namibia proved to be far too short. Starting at the southern tip, on the border with South Africa, we had our first stop at Fish River Canyon. The sights are breathtaking, in fact it beats the Grand Canyon in scenery, yet not in size. At Ais-Ais, we had booked at Guest Lodge which was luxuriously appointed, there was a pool and hot springs. Envigorated, we drove a further 1000 miles to Etosha, one of the worlds' top Game Reserves. 3 days of the most exhilarating game viewing followed, we saw the Big 5, and every evening we sat by our camp fire watching the sun setting over the African bush.

Self drive safari is a great way to see the wildlife in Namibia. We hired a landrover which had a tent on top! You simply drive up to the waterholes, put up the tent and wait for the animals to come and drink. Great holiday!
