My girlfriend and I had a very nice safari thanks to Tai Adventures. We had a joining safari for 3 days at the masai mara,we are not used to such arrangements but everything was nicely and effectively arranged. The camp was good for social interaction with other tourists at the bar and during meal times. We really enjoyed our safari.

The most diverse scenery that still looks untouched by humans.
Arranged the Trip through Great Explorations. (Outstanding) Flew to Windhoek and hired a 4x4 from Namibia 2 Go. Drove down to Sesriem in the South where the magnificent red dunes then Deadvlei where the trees are frozen in time from a million years ago when the river dried up. Temperatures in the upper 20's Took the Spreetshoogte Pass on route to Solitaire and witnessed the Moonscape like surroundings. A sight to behold. Drove to Swakopmund through canyons and incredible scenery. Roads are quite rough so we welcomed the 4x4. Recommend that you do the Living Desert Tour in Swakop which was so informative. Cooler weather here low 20's The Namibia desert is the oldest desert in the world and holds many secrets. Then drove through the Skeleton Coast on tar and salt roads on the way to Damaraland. Visiting Palmwag and Twyfelfontein. Much warmer here in the mid 30's. Again amazing scenery. Then into Etosha for 4 nights. Don't expect the same type of accommodation or first world service in the park. The roads were in terrible condition perhaps due to a lot of rain about 2 weeks prior. This impacted on the game viewing experience as there was little need for the game to seek water at the waterholes. The waterholes at the camp were a highlight for evening viewing and are recommended. Weather early 30's. Good birding which helped with the lack of animals.
It would be great if The government controlled park could do more maintenance. We spent 4 days driving through large areas of the park and didn't see one grader working on the roads. We would like to revisit Namibia and do the South where Luderitz is and also far North if possible. Would probably give Etosha a miss.

Very well. Did respond quickly on question asked
The contact with the tour operator was good. We got a quick repons on questions asked. And the operator provided us with the necessary info on beforehand. All the connecting transfers were in time.
We especially liked the our game driver Solomon. He was punctually and made sure we were at the right place to see the wild animals. Once there he gave you plenty of time to appreciate the animals and made sure you were in the right spot to make nice pictures.

Very professionel Team, communication via WhatsApp worked really well, quick response
Almost everything worked really well. The lodges were fantastic so was the staff. Service and food delicious, the guides are great , most bilingual, so language never an issue. Cars are huge and in good condition. The safari itself was beyond our expectations. Beautiful scenery, nature spots and we saw all kind of animals incl big five.

The people!
Although they definitely need to improve organization and communication skills, I got everything I booked for and more!
I booked a 4 days/3 nights in a tented camp at the Sekekama lodge, which is really new (only 4 months). The camp is basic, but the tents are kept really clean, no mosquitoes inside, bed is comfy, sheets are immaculate, the food was hearty and abundant and a bonfire was done in the evening. All the staff was helpful and extremely kind.
I did a sunset drive on the first day (which was mind blowing) with fearless Peace and Mr Goodman, (Peace even ventured into the bushes to help us spot some white rhinos 😍), and two full days of safari, starting at 5.30am getting back around 6pm, one with Evance and one with Eddy, both very knowledgeable, they answered all our questions and tried hard to let us see all the big 5! In my humble opinion, having seen loads of waterfalls and other deeper canyons, I chose an extra day of safari instead of the Panorama day, as you basically spend most of the day in the van, getting out 5’ for a picture. I preferred an extra chance at spotting the big 5, it was incredible how close and how many there are!
Wifi wasn’t working and signal is pretty weak in that area!
In my pack there was adverted a swimming pool, which is actually in the adjacent camp, but you cannot reach it by yourself as it’s not safe to walk.

Very good service for the safari organisation
The communication with the agent was very good and very useful. After I expressed my main interest for ensuite facilities he suggested DUMELA camp site. After this suggestion I didn't have to look further. Dumela is a camping option with ensuite facilities. In the tent there are two single beds and A/C. It is not really glamping but close to it. The beds were made after our first night, something that I wasn't expecting at all.
The evening safari at the Blue Canyon Reserve with Goodmen and Peace was great. We had the opportunity to see rhinos, lions, giraffes... The drive at Kruger National Park with Evance was fantastic. Evance told us some details about the animals but also about the flora.
At Dumela camp we had a problem with the cold water in the shower but it got fixed after we reported it. We didn't use the swimming pool. Both dinners around the fire place were nice and fantastic to have one complimentary glass of wine (the next ones are charge 20R each).
My partner and I did the panoramic route tje last day. It was nice but it felt a bit rushed. Getting down of the vehicle, walk, take few pictures and return to the van. Despite this I will suggest doing it the final day of the stay.
A point for improvement is the communication among all the employees. It happened that we were told a different time for being picked up and the driver was hurrying us up 30 minutes earlier. And a fellow Safari companion was forgotten in her accommodation and almost misses the evening safari. On the last day breakfast was served late so we needed to rush and we weren't provided with cutlery and as there was nobody around we didn't want to invest extra time in walking to the kitchen to request them.
But in general picture , my partner and I had a great time at Dumela camping and with the safaris and the panoramic route organised by MoAfrika.
