A perfect family tour in southern Africa that exceeded our expectations
Dusty Foot Tours Namibia的点评
点评：We are a family from Denmark living in Switzerland with 2 children being 12 and 15 years old. We were looking for an extended family holiday trip in southern Africa before the kids are starting to go on holidays without mom and dad. I used to live in South Africa 30 years ago and wanted to share some things, the rest of the family never has seen before. The problem is how to find a serious company that would meet all our expectations. A danish friend of mine heard about our plans and recommended Dusty Foot Tours Namibia, since he just came back from a tour he made with them 6 months before, mentioning that one of the partners, Svend, is half danish and half namibian and therefore used to both cultures and a lot of namibian insight knowledge.
After we made contact where we told a little bit about our expectations, the time and money we are able to spend and the things, that were most important for us to see.
A couple of days later, we were supplied with a suggested tour plan, including the cities, the area and the sites where we would stay during our trip. We had the opportunity to google the places and in most cases we could choose between a couple of options where to stay or what to do.
After we agreed on our very personal holiday trip, the company sent an invoice, and we had to wire the money to Namibia. Unfortunately, they do not accept credit cards. Felt a little special to send a lot of money to a company in Africa, but since our friend told us, they were a serious company and we shouldn't be worried, we were fine with that.
After we arrived at the airport in Namibia, we were met by Svend, who even fixed a lot of paper work for us in advance, so that we were one of the first ones, who could get through immigration.
The first night we slept in a very nice hotel in Windhoek, since we arrived too late to reach our first site according to our travel plan.
We were travelling in a relatively large and spacious safari 4-WD car with air condition and a fridge for cold drinks and snacks. We travelled as a private family group together with Svend and there was never a moment where we felt that we were never left alone. It was always very giving and interesting to talk with Svend about culture, wildlife, politics and economy on our sometimes very long trips on the road. But there were always enough moments, where everybody was just listening to music, reading a book or having a short nap instead of socialising.
The sites where we stayed were in most cases either a small hotel or (much, much better) a lodge, usually in the middle of nature. Some of them were very, very nice and luxurious, but that is of course dependent on what you agreed on when planning the tour. We asked for a mid-upper range of comfort and there was not any place, where we were really disappointed. We trusted mostly in Svends choice and he always met our expectations.
We saw a lot of Namibia (Namib Naukluft, Sossusvlei / Deadvlei (in the mid of the desert), Walvis Bay (Gocart Racing), Swakopmund, Otjiwarongo, Etosha (a must see is the Onguma Lodge (we stayed at the Fort), which is probably pricy, but really, really nice!!). We drove towards east on the Caprivia strip towards Zimbabwe, weher we wanted to see the Victoria Falls. Do not underestimate the length of the driving tours, sometimes 5-7 hours on the road. If we had more time, I wish we would have stayed longer at the different lodges instead of only one or two nights. Vic Falls were nice, although we were accompagnied by an external contractor instead of Svend, since it would have been to time consuming to get the car over the border and back on one day. We travelled back through Botswana, stayed again in some nice places and reached on day 18 the airport in Windhoek.
We saw tons of wild animals like elephants, zebras, leopards, hippos, eagles, lions, snakes, springboks, kudu and all kinds of other antilopes. We do really recommend to take a horse back safari tour, since it is much more quiet than drivin in a car and you get so much closer to the animals, since they obviously cannot distinguish between a horse with and without men. You can get so close that you can almost touch them (not the predators, of course)! And you do not have to have any horse back riding skills or experience...
We can also recommend to try out the helicopter flight over the Okavango delta, that was really cool, too! Otherwise, we recommend to take your time, rather stay longer at one place, which means you might not get all the way to the Victoria Falls, than travelling every day. The distances are huge! Or you fly back to Windhoek instead of driving all the way through Botswana. We recommend the boat safari on the Chobe river in Botswana though!
Otherwise talk to the guides from Dustyfoot when planning your trip, they are very experienced and should be able to find e travel plan, that matches your expectations.
Have a wonderful tour!
We were never in a dangerous situation together with Svend, it has never been akward with him and during that time, for us he was just a part of our family.

翻译：我们一家来自丹麦，目前居住在瑞士，有两个孩子，分别12岁和15岁。在孩子们开始独自度假之前，我们想安排一次去南部非洲的家庭旅行。我30年前曾在南非生活过，想带他们体验一些家人从未见过的事物。问题在于如何找到一家能够满足我们所有期望的可靠旅行社。一位丹麦朋友听说了我们的计划，推荐了Dusty Foot Tours Namibia，因为他六个月前刚参加过他们的旅行团。他提到，其中一位合伙人Svend是丹麦和纳米比亚混血，因此对两种文化都很了解，对纳米比亚的情况也很熟悉。
我们联系了他们，简单介绍了我们的期望、预算和旅行时间，以及我们最想看到的景点。
几天后，他们就给我们提供了一份行程建议，包括我们将要游览的城市、地区以及住宿地点。我们有机会在网上搜索目的地，大多数情况下，我们可以从几个选项中选择住宿或游玩项目。
在我们确定了这次非常个性化的假期旅行后，旅行社寄来了账单，我们需要把钱汇到纳米比亚。可惜的是，他们不接受信用卡。要给一家非洲的公司汇一大笔钱，感觉有点特别，但因为朋友告诉我们，他们是一家正规公司，我们不用担心，所以我们也就放心了。
抵达纳米比亚机场后，斯文德来接我们，他甚至提前帮我们办好了很多手续，让我们成为第一批通过入境检查的人。
第一晚，我们住在温得和克一家很不错的酒店，因为我们到达的时间太晚，没能赶上我们原定的第一个目的地。
我们乘坐的是一辆相对宽敞的四驱越野车，车里有空调和冰箱，可以放冷饮和零食。我们一家人以私人家庭旅行团的形式跟随斯文德一起旅行，全程都感觉很自在，从未感到被冷落。在有时漫长的旅途中，与斯文德畅谈文化、野生动物、政治和经济总是令人受益匪浅，也趣味盎然。当然，旅途中也总有那么一些时刻，大家可以静静地听听音乐、看看书，或者小憩片刻，而不是忙于社交。
我们入住的地点大多是小型酒店，或者（更好的选择是）度假小屋，通常都位于自然美景之中。有些住宿非常舒适豪华，但这当然取决于旅行计划中的约定。我们要求的是中高档的舒适度，而入住的每一个地方都让我们非常满意。我们主要信任斯文德的选择，而他也总是能满足我们的期望。
我们游览了纳米比亚的许多地方（纳米布-诺克卢夫特国家公园、苏丝斯黎/死亡谷（位于沙漠腹地）、鲸湾港（卡丁车赛道）、斯瓦科普蒙德、奥奇瓦龙戈、埃托沙国家公园（一定要去翁古玛旅馆，我们住在堡垒酒店，价格可能有点贵，但真的非常棒！！）。我们沿着卡普里维亚大道向东前往津巴布韦，想去看看维多利亚瀑布。千万别低估自驾游的行程，有时要在路上开5到7个小时。如果时间更充裕，我希望能在不同的旅馆多住几天，而不是只住一两晚。维多利亚瀑布很美，不过这次陪同我们的是外部承包商而不是斯文德，因为一天之内开车过境再返回实在太费时间了。我们途经博茨瓦纳返回，又在一些不错的地方住了一晚，最后在第18天抵达机场。温得和克。
我们看到了许多野生动物，比如大象、斑马、豹子、河马、鹰、狮子、蛇、跳羚、大羚羊以及各种其他羚羊。我们强烈推荐骑马游猎之旅，因为骑马比开车安静得多，而且可以更近距离地接触动物，它们显然无法区分马背上是否有人。你可以离它们非常近，几乎可以触摸到它们（当然，不包括捕食者）！而且你不需要任何骑马技巧或经验……
我们还推荐你体验一下奥卡万戈三角洲的直升机之旅，那也很棒！此外，我们建议你放慢节奏，在一个地方多待几天，这意味着你可能无法一路到达维多利亚瀑布，而不是每天都赶路。博茨瓦纳的距离非常遥远！或者你可以选择飞回温得和克，而不是开车穿越整个博茨瓦纳。我们推荐在乔贝河上体验乘船游猎。不过，博茨瓦纳真是个好地方！
或者，在规划行程时，可以咨询一下Dustyfoot的导游，他们经验丰富，应该能帮您找到符合您期望的旅行方案。
祝您旅途愉快！
我们和Svend在一起时从未遇到过危险。和他相处从来没有尴尬过，在那段时间里，对我们来说，他就是我们家庭的一份子。
