As the weather turns, thoughts of warmer places...
V8MoneyPit:
We have been thinking about going to Namibia or similar. I would like to do a self drive with some camping and some nights in lodges. We haven't done anything like this before and I had heard that Namibia is probably the best Southern African country for novices.
Anyone been? Comments/suggestions? Any recommendations for companies to talk to?
mmgemini:
You will have a PM with my phone number in it.
Ring either of us and we'll help you as much as possible.
A super country and people.We spent ten weeks in 2004 and three months in southern africs last year.
Have a look at www.REEDX.net the travel bit I think has an account of our first trip.

V8MoneyPit:
Thanks Mike. I won't trouble you at this stage. We are still just contemplating! But I will keep your number if you don't mind. And should we decide we want to persue it further, I'll give you a call.
mmgemini:
Don't contemplate too long. Especially if your going to hire a vehicle.
Both Namibia and Botswana are wonderful countries.Both with wonderful people.
The exchange rate is very good at present so a lot more for your money.
The rains will just be starting.Nothing at prsent to really bother you but you'll need waterproofs.Something we never carried.
We hope to go next year.Six months is what we're planning.
Your welcome to ring at any time.
V8MoneyPit:
It would be for next year anyway. Or, depending on cost, maybe the year after. We don't get too much time for holidays due to work commitments but we decided we need to plan something. There comes a time when work just has to take a back seat.
