"There were so many moments!! The cruise down the channel seeing thousands of elephants, buffalo, hippos, giraffe antelope and birds was totally amazing. I also loved visiting Kalagara villiage and seeing close up how the hard working people of Uganda live. Murchison falls and the Nile cruise was also fun and informative. Doc and Joseph were particularly great tour guides and cook. Informative, accommodating and easy to be around. I would go again!!"

"Dear Huntley,

Sorry for my late reply but I've been busy since my return.

The 12 days camping tour in Namibia was a big success.

We were only 3 in the group which means we were pampered during the whole trip by our 2 amazing guides (Erastus and Etienne).

The 5 of us came along very well despite the age difference and the different backgrounds.

I have a few highlights from this trip :

- Etosha NP : we saw lots of animals including lions and one leopard

- Sandwich Harbour (extra activity)

- The amazing dunes in Sossusvlei

- The Fish River canyon

I left a nice review on Tripadvisor.

I hope to be able to do another adventure trip in Africa soon.

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025 !

All the best,

Mo van Boxel

"Hi Tammy
It's taken me a couple of weeks to catch up here in the UK and to get my head around the fact that my trip is over.
Thank you so much for all your support and advice while I was arranging my African adventure. It was a truly wonderful experience.
I enjoyed every aspect of the trip, from the Cape of Good Hope and onward to Johannesburg, but my heart remains in Namibia. I managed to stagger up 'Big Daddy' (it was fun coming down) but in the main I just loved the vast open emptiness of the Namib. Desert Fire Camp was such a great experience with its strange camping platforms, odd little toilet block and even odder cold plunge pool in the middle of nowhere, but my thoughts always go back to Spitzkoppe- my all time favourite. I could have stayed for a week just savouring the silence, the sunset and the stars. Not to say I didn't enjoy the multitude of animals we were privileged to see, especially the elephants at Elephant Sands- how incredible was that, having them just wandering through our camp site in the night . It was also interesting, and humbling, to visit the local village with Allen, near Maun.
Our guides, Chris and Thabang were wonderful. Their knowledge of the fauna and flora, geology, culture and politics was amazing. Two very bright guys! Five star cooks (I was always delighted by what they could rustle up in such a primitive kitchen), great and careful drivers and charming guides, as a group I don't think we could have asked for anything more. Very special young men.
As a trip, I will recommend Drifters to all my friends, though I'm not sure how many will actually love the idea of camping- with those hefty dome tents to put up and down every night- though I got quite fond of our particular one by the end!
One suggestion - not a criticism - is to have a night walk by a local guide after one or two of those very long drives. We were all stiff
from sitting in the beloved Green Truck for so many hours, and after putting up the tents and having dinner it might have been nice to have a walk and stretch our legs.
Otherwise- the perfect trip.
Thank you.
Mo van Boxel"
