The trip was amazing, and there were many very memorable moments so its very difficult to choose 1 part. Sossusvlei was amazing as were some of the game
drives in Etosha. Also the Etendeka 3 day hike was also amazing. (more)Mark Nelson
Memorable parts?
Seeing the elephants up close and personal nearly every day.
Tips?
Be prepared to work hard.
Local benefits?
The project is a good one -- building enclosures for water tanks to provide water for livestock. Otherwise the elephants drink the livestock water and the locals shoot the elephants.

After 50 years of international travel this holiday ranks with the best. I definitely
recommend it. Definitely the Okavango Delta. Spitzkopf was spectacular to be in. Travelling through Namibia gave a real feel for the rawness of the country. (more)stephen gapes
Everything on our NB21 camping safari was amazing. So many incredible experiences, it is hard to pick one. Also all of the people on the trip were so wonderful especially our guides Ali and Sipho. (more)Lisa Wertz
There was something special nearly every day, but for me the most thrilling experience was lying in the tent at night when we were camping in the Okavango Delta listening to elephants feeding round the campsite. (more)Ruth Law
Outstanding - 10/10. Watching a herd of elephants with a newborn in their midst. All the lodges in this tour had water conservation measures in place and their construction was of locally sourced or recycled material. The staff were native Namibians. (more)Janis Kaas

I have travelled to over 50 countries now, but this was the best trip ever. (more)Peter Lowles
There were many memorable moments. Camping in the Okovango Delta was amazing, and the walks around the delta meant that we could get really close to some animals without disturbing them. The sunset cruise on the Chobe River enabled us to see loads of elephants taking baths and they weren't bothered at all by our presence. (more)Tim Gregory
As a scuba diver, I was really awed by the Cape Fur Seals at Cape Cross. (more)Linda Perry

We had a fab family holiday just at the right time for our grandchildren. We would highly recommend this trip. The lodges were all great and well-appointed and the grandchildren loved the swim pools. Etosha with its waterhole was amazing.

Memorable parts?
Flying over Victoria falls on a microlite. This is a paid extra but worth every penny.
Tips?
1)Mid-day cruise on the Zambezi at Livingstone waterfront passes along beside the game reserve. We got our best shots of hippos and elephants on this cruise.
2)You've spent a lot of money to get here. So you probably cant afford to do every extra. But if you get the chance to do something you really want to do, DO IT. We flew over Vic Falls on a Microlite. Not cheap but ... (more)Richard Paradine
Excellent. There were so many I wouldn't know which one to pick. So I'll list a few: the scenic flight over Skeleton Valley, Deadvlei is stunningly beautiful, sighting 3 lions and a herd of about 40 elephants.

Memorable parts?
Enjoyed quite a few of the activities, met a lot of really nice people and some great coordinators, and so many lovely animals <3
Tips?
The uniform can be switched out with neutral-coloured clothes, so bring some - and sturdy sneakers will suffice in the sunshine. The right info is hard to come by, it's a bit disorganized at Naankuse - just ask anyone and go with the flow. Depending on what project you're on and your skills, it's not always real work we put ... (more)Lise Ballangrud
The most memorable part of the holiday was seeing a leopard just by chance relaxing on a termite mound by the side of the road as we drove through onguma reserve. (more)Tracey Spence

Everything was pretty amazing but if I had to pick one thing it would have to be the dunes. Watching the sun rise whilst hiking up the hill was just breathtaking in more ways than one. (more)Julia Crisp
