Cape Cross Seal Colony was incredible, the scenery was coastal salt flats.

Review about Etosha National Park by AlmostPerfect
This is the most visited park for wildlife in Namibia and therefore more tourists (less in the rainy season) the sites within the park have good facilities and filling stations.

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by AlmostPerfect
The Namib Naukluft is more about scenery than animals, dunes, mountains and some very beautiful flowers after the rain.

A thoroughly enjoyable, 'bucket-list' Kruger Park safari & Panorama tour by Wildlife Safaris (Pty)
Our 5-day Kruger Park safari with Panorama tour arranged and managed by Wildlife Safaris (Pty) Ltd. was an overwhelmingly positive experience from the get-go. This was our first trip to Africa and we knew NOTHING about safaris. We found Wildlife Safaris via our Lonely Planet tourbook and reserved our safari online with Christine who was ever informative and patient. She helped arrange our airport pickup and pre and post safari overnight stay in the Johannesburg area, making that aspect simple for us. Our Wildlife Safari guide, Clive was very knowledgeable with 11 years of guide experience and >35 years of visiting the park. His knowledge of the flora, fauna and history of the park was ever reliable and his stories entertaining. The safari vehicle, a clean air-conditioned van (with binoculars provided by Wildlife!) was very comfortable and the ability to view the African wildlife was good from all sides through open or closed windows. During the safari we stayed at a Kruger park bungalow for 2 days and a 4-star private safari lodge for 1 which gave us a sense of the differences between the two types of operation. We saw the greatest diversity of animals at Kruger Park while driving with Clive - lions, leopard, elephants, zebras, various antelopes - amazing in their natural environment. At the private safari lodge though we saw a cheetah with cubs close up which was very special. The Kruger Park bungalow was air-conditioned and had a kitchen which was not needed because Clive cooked wonderful barbeques for the evening meal and we ate at Kruger park venues for breakfast. These meals were fun, comfortable and good though not 'haute cuisine' (which was fine for us). The private safari lodge had their own restaurant and we enjoyed those meals but preferred the more relaxed atmosphere of our Kruger Park meals. Our room at the private safari lodge was beautiful. After the safari, Clive drove us through the canyons and waterfalls that are part of the Panorama tour. It was hazy but the scenery and views were jaw-dropping and well worth the trip. We stopped for shopping (at a silk factory and South African craft places) before staying overnight at a quirky motel called Hippo Hollow where hippos and crocodiles could theoretically join you at breakfast (they can coe on the grounds). It was a niice stay. Then we went on back to Johannesburg for the end of our safir. Wildlife Safaris (Pty) Ltd and Clive provided us with a truly memorable experience that we would return for and highly recommend to others. They provided us with a safe but adventurous safari and touring experience, that was professionally arranged and had the element of a personal touch from our guide, Clive and the various venues that were well-selected by Wildlfe Safaris. They are a great company and the cost was very reasonable!

Review about Namibia by Marleen Horsten
There is much to see and to do in Namibia. Abundant wildlife, in national parks and gamefarms, but also roaming free in Damaraland and Kaokoland in combination with beautiful sceneries. There is a great choice of accommodations. Campsites, self catering, guestfarms and lodges (basic to very luxurious).
In the coastal area (Walvisbaai, Swakopmund) you can enjoy f.e. Scenic flights, quadbike tours, sandsurfing, "gogga" tours (looking for the little 5) or dolphincruises.
