It was my first time in Africa and I was beyond amazed by the diversity of landscape and wildlife. We hopped from one highlight to another, and weren’t disappointed by any bit of the trip. Barring the underpopulation, traveling through Namibia felt like I was in the west - roads, shops and housing look very neat and suburban. I felt safer there than I have in many developed countries. Our guide Kudo was most well informed about the ins and outs of every experience that we had, and overall pleasant to be around. Be mindful that it’s a vast country so you are driving for up to 500km per day. Despite that, we were never too tired as the trip was very well planned. Also, even though I booked the tour very last minute, Philip was very smooth about it and even accommodated my request to upgrade hotel.
Just one point to note - I got the impression that people aren’t very cognizant of dietary restrictions in Namibia so would advise you to be very firm about it from the beginning
