Customer Reviews
Overall, I had a great experience and really enjoyed the trip. The itinerary was incredible, the accommodations were good, and everything was very well organized. A special thank you to Often and Big Jojo, they were both amazing! They made the trip fun, kept everything running smoothly, and created a fantastic atmosphere for the group. My main suggestion would be to allow a little more time at each destination. I understand Contiki’s style is “go, go, go,” but spending only 15 minutes at iconic places like Spitzkoppe (the “Matterhorn of Namibia”) or other stops simply wasn’t enough. It often felt like we were constantly rushing from one place to the next just to arrive in time for lunch or dinner. I think arriving even an hour later on some days would have been a worthwhile trade-off if it meant we could spend more time enjoying these incredible locations. I also understand the weather was completely out of everyone’s control, but since conditions weren’t in our favor, I would have appreciated at least trying to adjust the itinerary where possible to give us a better chance of experiencing some locations under better conditions. Even small changes could have made a difference. Aside from that, everything was great. It was an unforgettable adventure, and I’d definitely travel with Contiki again.
