Once in a lifetime experience
Indescribable experience for everything it offers. Quality of service together with what nature offers is the best you could want. Our guide Hamed was excellent, knowledgeable, polite, punctual and put all of his knowledge at our disposal. Highly recommended.

Great with kids! Fun and flexible and safe!
Newton, Ken and Justus were great hosts and drivers! They were good natured, easy going and flexible with our large family group. I felt safe in their hands on long drives and rocky mountain roads to visit the gorillas. They made the drives fun for the kids ages 8-14. Newton helped us navigate customs and luggage driving from Uganda into Rwanda and into Tanzania. *Inquire about Wifi and power sources in the vehicles. I hope to go back!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Laurie Levy
You really know you're in Africa here. The scenery is spectacular; the wildlife is as well. It is also interesting to view Masai villages and get a sense of their way of life. The wildlife was different every day and the variety was endless. Lots of elephants, LOTS of wildebeests, topi, eland, giraffes, buffalo, cheetahs, lions, leopards, zebra, ostriches, secretary birds, lilac-breasted rollers, marabou and yellow-billed storks, hippos, huge crocodiles, warthogs, hyenas, lesser kudu, gazelles, southern ground hornbills, and on and on. Definitely a park not to be missed!

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Laurie Levy
It is very close to town, so not much of a "bush vibe", but there are some nice views of the lake and the surrounding area is attractive. We saw lots of wildlife, though - including rhinos, baboons, cranes, impala, gazelles, LOTS of flamingoes, pelicans, buffalo, etc. Sarova Lionhill Game Lodge is very nice, with beautiful gardens, luxurious cottages, and the best food and drinks we had on the whole trip.

Review about Aberdare National Park by Laurie Levy
This was a novel experience as there are no game drives. The lodge is built over natural watering hole and the game come to you. There are viewing platforms and a "bunker" area where you can get a fantastic overview of the wildlife and witness things in a more panoramic way than you might see from a safari vehicle. They also provided a lecture about the lodge and the wildlife, comfortable lounging areas and bar, and the food was very good as well. We saw many elephants, hyenas, cape buffalo, bush pigs, warthogs, and many birds such as herons, cranes, pelicans, and a variety of smaller birds. The setting is very lush and beautiful.

Review about Aberdare National Park by Clare
We didn't see quite as much wildlife in the Aberdare but had a great time! Definitely need a car with high clearance - the roads are rough but do-able & make for a fun adventure with the right people.

Camping Safari around Namibia 2022
I booked a 12 day camping Safari around Namibia with Chameleon which was an excellent experience as the unknown group of 10 people from around the globe, all joined in together to make it an excellent memory for all.
The group was made of myself from New Zealand, a couple from Denmark, a family from France, a father and daughter from California and a single german.
Due to the time of year the weather was a pleasant warm temperature in the day time but at night in the tents the temperature dropped down to freezing which many had not expected but all survived.
The trip left Windhoek and headed north for our first night Okonjima Reserve where we were able to view three rescued chetah. We then moved onto Etosha.
This not being my first visit to Africa I was not expecting to rave about Etosha but now having been there to view game I would highly recommend this Game Park. Especially at night where you are not allowed to do night game drives, but in Okaukuejo Camp you are able to view game at the water hole any time at night as the water hole is well illuminated. Rhinos, elephants Giraffe, Zebra and lions are not unexpected.
The Skeleton coast was next on the trip and was as wild as expected with wonderful views and great feeling of remoteness.
At Cape Cross the seals which were plentiful but the stench was almost unbearable for some of the more sensitive souls.
I personnel did not warm to Swakomund although I did mange to locate an excellent source of Biltong at an excellent butcher in the town. The town museum is well worth a visit.
Sesreim was a real treat as we went and climbed the famous sand dunes which are absolute must to do, even if there are millions of other visitors as well.
Aus was a place of stunning sunsets and the launch off point to visit Luderitz and Fish Canyon a must see site on the trip.
The trip is for the hardy as there is a lot of driving but well worth it to receive an excellent taste of Namibia. The roads were in the main excellent so we were able to complete long distances.
Windhoek is the starting off and end of the trip where there are some excellent shopping for souvenirs and clothes.
