Guestbook |
I really had a good time in Namibia !!
I really enjoyed this trip (beautiful landscape, sunny weather, great meals,...) and i am just waiting another opportunity to go to the very south of Namibia (Fish River Canyon).
Even if I went to this trip alone, i never felt alone! I met a lot of nice young people travelling around namibia!! So I recommended the same trip to 3 friends: The 8-days Namibian Favourites( Sesriem, Sossuvlei, Swakopmund and then Etosha). I believe they will contact you very quickly!! I also recommend them to take a room with air-conditionning at Chameleon Lodge. It was very warm in my room at night ( no way to sleep).
