- AStephen· July 10th, 2023Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Etosha and the CCF. I also loved the dark skies at Etosha and Waterberg. One suggestion is to highlight that possibility in trip notes for tour dates where the moon won't be out at night. All the hotels and lodges were very nice and the food was surprisingly good everywhere, including the picnic lunches. Kastro was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, helpful and fun to be with.Show moreTrip date: June 2023Review collected by Explore!

Asked on February 4th, 2023Can you provide some additional information, please? Namely, what is the standard of single room accommodation on the tour? Would I be expected to share bathroom facilities, or even be stuck in the usual room under the stairs next to the lift? Also, what type of vehicle is used? Is a single seat available? Or is there a window seat for each traveller?
- Explore!Operator•Written February 2023
Single rooms are normally en-suite unless stated or camping. Transport Information - 4WD, Truck. Window seats cannot be guaranteed as we want everyone to have an amazing view on a rota'd basis.

Asked on August 27th, 2022Do you have available spaces on the following dates: Tue 6 Sep 2022 - Sat 17 Sep 2022, Tue 20 Sep 2022 - Sat 1 Oct 2022, Tue 4 Oct 2022 - Sat 15 Oct 2022? What are the average ages of the groups for those dates?
- Explore!Operator•Written September 2022
Unfortunately there is no availability on the Namibia Lodge Safari on the 6th or the 20th September. There are 3 spaces available on the 4th October 2022 departure. On the 4th October departure there are 8 people booked - with age ranges from people in their 30s (3 people) to 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. As the 4th October 2022 trip departs in under 45 days we would need to request availability with the local agent as a late booking. The Namibia Lodge Safari + Garden Route departure on the 20th September 2022 is fully booked.
