What an astounding safari. In the twelve days we were with Steinner and Klugger we got to experience unforgettable sights and sounds of Namibia. They are friendly and really wonderful hosts, taking charge of driving the 4x4 jeep as they showed us different species of wild animals, breathtaking landscapes and incredibly intreresting cultural visits. The food and lodging camps were top class and really authentic African camping. What an amazing adventure
