Client Travels: Postcards from Namibia

Whenever you return from your holidays, we’re always chomping at the bit to hear how you got on. We want to know what your best bits were, what wildlife you spotted, what adventures you had. And these chats are even more exciting when they’re bought to life by your holiday snaps.

Andy and Fran were the talk of the HA office when they sent their Namibia photos over to their speciality, Kirsty, last month. Their photographs below are guaranteed to transport you from your screen to the wild plains of Namibia. A huge thank you to them both for sharing their talents with us!

On their tailormade Namibia holiday they…

✔️ Climbed the monstrous sand dunes in Sossusvlei

✔️ Walked over the otherworldly Dead Vlei,

✔️ Spotted the fascinating creatures that live their lives in the arid Namib Desert (the Peringuey’s Adder, Palmato Gecko and the Namaqua Chameleon, to name a few!)

✔️ Kayaked with the seals at Pelican Point

✔️ Tracked the famous desert-adapted elephants in Damaraland

✔️ Spent a night under the stars on the top of Crystal Mountain in Etendeka (the photo they snapped below shows this was every bit as magical as it sounds!)

✔️ Watched the wildlife congregate around water holes in Etosha National Park

✔️ And even took on a very unique park-run…

Great holiday self drive in Namibia

“We have just returned from 2 weeks in Namibia organised by Kirsty at Holiday Architects.

Kirsty was very knowledgable and put together the perfect itinerary for us. We were self-driving which was quite an adventure (some roads in Namibia are interesting), however we felt really well supported throughout with excellent local contacts.

We gave Kirsty quite a difficult brief as we had to arrange this holiday at short notice on specific dates but Kirsty was able to include all we wanted to do including the Swakopmund parkrun. The organisation was seamless and the communication excellent. Altogether superb. Definitely recommend.”
