Boxall family feedback (2007)
Thank-you for a fabulous family safari. what a fantastic holiday!
We were very impressed with the level of communication and useful advice/suggestions before booking, all based on personal recommendation as a result of our extensive requests about what we wanted to fit in! The personal service is what sets you apart from other companies - I lost count of the number of questions you answered which gave us great confidence in coming out with our 6 and 8 year olds.
In giving us personal recommendations and details about why you suggested places, you provided us with a wide ranging holiday covering all our prerequisites (culture, animals & mountain walking) and some we're glad we added (sand-boarding, quad-biking). The level of service was well illustrated by your ability & willingness to change some of our plans at very short notice to fit in some extra activities not originally planned.
A comment by Adam having just run down a Sossusvlei sand-dune ("I'm so glad we came to Namibia!!") sums up what the children thought of the holiday too. An ideal destination for families .......... we will definitely be back - there's so much more to do!!

Just to let you know that we had a fantastic tour with Beanie. Everything went so smoothly from our point of view and she is a brilliant guide, giving us loads of information and working so hard to make our trip really enjoyable and memorable. She has a great sense of humour and fun and this, together with her enthusiasm and love of Namibia, all helped to make for a great holiday and experience. We hope she enjoyed herself too. Thank you all as well for arranging such a great itinerary for us. The lodges were all different but all very comfortable and welcoming and we survived the camping!! Namibia is such a beautiful country that we hope we will be able to come back again before too long.

We had an absolutely brilliant holiday in Namibia with Chameleon. Thanks for the excellent itinerary you put together and organised for us. Everything went exactly as planned and the choices of campsites and hotels were fantastic. The host of the B&B in Windhoek was incredibly friendly and hospitable and provided excellent food both evenings. The accommodation in Swapokmund was of a very high standard and Erindi lodge was luxurious in the extreme!
Richard, our guide, was incredibly knowledgable about all aspects of Southern African history, geography and all the plants and animals we encountered on our travels and imparted the information in such a way to appeal to both adults and children alike. He provided excellent food, conversation as well as participating in all the sports played by our children along the way - rugby and cricket on the Etosha salt pan being a particular highlight. He became more of a friend than a guide by the end of the trip and we wish him all the best in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, the highlights being incredible game spotting in Etosha, the sand dunes especially sandboarding and the trip to the Himba village. It was also really interesting to see the cheetah foundation and get up close to such beautiful animals. By following the route that you planned we were gradually exposed to the animals and so the children who were thrilled to see a gemsbok from 100 metres for the first few days got within 5 metres of lions and elephants by the end of the trip.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Chameleon and I wish you every success in your career with the company. Namibia is a beautiful country and a fabulous place to visit with children.
