Damaraland was fantastic and the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge was also top notch.

It was extremely hot and dry. Hotel was absolutely beautiful . There was not much to see except the rock paintings and the Himba tribe

Namibia is more than a safari. I think I would still recommend east Africa for first timers. But Namibia was varied and amazing.

Drier and more desolate area but offered interesting historical sites to visit such as the World Heritage site at Twyfelfontein and the Petrified Forrest.

Here you can meet with the Desert elephant and many other animals. Beautiful mountain ranges and scenery.

Damaraland is interesting for its strange landscape, with conical hills scattered over the countryside. I'm told that Namibia is the part of Africa that was once connected to South America before the continent split off, so this geological event can be seen in the landscape. In terms of wildlife, other than the seals on Cape Cross, the wildlife here is mainly in the form of reptiles such as desert chameleons, lizards, snakes or spiders. What mammals there are in the desert are small, like mice.

Amazing scenery here, for us there was not so much wildlife after being to Etosha,
but we got to see some desert elephants as well as lizards and birds - also very few tourists so great bush vibe!
