Review about Etosha National Park by steveb108
The experience of Namibia was good, but I prefer the bush as opposed to the Namibian landscape. Likewise I prefer bush photography to water-hole photography. Just a matter of preference.

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by steveb108
Sand dunes were beautiful, but I come to Africa mainly for wild-life.

Harsh landscapes that represent the beauty of Africa with its endlessly vast plains.
Itinerary : Windhoek - Kalahari desert - Keetmanshoop - Fish river canyon - Lüderitz - Sossusvlei - Namib Naukluft - Swakopmund - Damaraland - Etosha - Okahandja - Windhoek.
We used to be a party of 25 people driving in a tour bus with one tour guide who also used to be the driver. Our guide told us a lot of the country and the people itself and did a great job. Considering the accommodations, Namibia is a country with a great price / quality ratio, similar to South Africa in fact and better as Kenya / Tanzania, countries we visited the year before. When it comes to landscapes, Namibia is a real treasure for the adventurer; endless landscapes in the middle of nowhere, beautiful colors (especially in the Namib desert) and harsh vast plains are just among a few things to highlight. Wildlife is great too, especially in the Etosha national park where we unfortunately just stayed one and a half day. We would recommend to go for a jeep with a private guide (as we did) and not to ride with the tour bus through the park as it is done by many tourists, ...this is no real safari feeling watching animals through windows in a sticky tour bus. By the way, the Etosha national park is well known for its bird watching possibilities. Besides Etosha, the Namib desert with Sossusvlei / Deadvlei (something not to miss) was our second highlight. The colors during sunrise / sundown are among the most beautiful things you can see, especially for photographers. Weather was great during our 2 week trip through Namibia (no rain in fact). Only two things we would change when returning again to Namibia : 1) Looking for a tour operator who travels in smaller groups, in fact 25 people per bus is above average and a bit too much. 2) Trying to expand the trip to the Zambezi Region who touches Botswana and is well known for its incredible wildlife.

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Rachel Dunsdon
The desert area was magnificent with ostrich, oryx, jackal, baboons and lots of smaller creatures which you wouldn't normally see - snakes, gecko, skink, chameleons, flamingos and pelicans.

Review about Zambezi Region by pjrinkel

It was a lovely experience in this beautiful area. We've seen many animals! We love Africa!
We've seen a lots of wildlife in this beautiful National Park. We had our own guide, who was our guide during our whole holiday. The transportation was by our own bus which took us there from Cape Town. So, very comfortable and because of the height it was easy to see wildlife between the bushes. Roads are ok, not too bad.
