26 April - 03 May 2007 - Sandra, Ian, Stanley & Norma (South Africa)
Thank you so much for your kind attention. We had a really wonderful time and your attention to the details and always being "on hand" is and was much appreciated.
The stay was good at all the B & B's - In Windhoek our host/hostess was very hospitable and made our stay most pleasant.
Swakopmund B & B was in an ideal position for us and we had a delightful stay in that really quaint town - good advice from the owners and an easy place to visit.
The lodge in the desert is truly remarkable and it was a memorable experience to stay there, our guide was terrific and the drives to and from Swakopmund and to Windhoek a good experience. I personally was awe inspired by the experience and the whole party had a great and memorable time.
Once again many thanks for your kindness and attentiveness.
Fond regards,
Sandra, Ian, Stanley & Norma |

which contrast with the elegant shops offering sophisticated Swakara
