Dear johan rebel,
I rebooked my trip away from Nat Geo for necessary health and personal reasons. Their tour could and would not guarantee me 24 hour access to electricity in some hotels which I must have for my health, as well as a mini fridge or cooler for medication. So all is well now with my new plan.
Now I am going with a private guided tour with Kensington tours which not only meets my health needs but gives me a lot more personal flexibility to do more.
I still will get to Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Skeleton Coast, Twyfelfontein, Damaraland and Etosha so I am thrilled beyond belief. Hope to also visit a Cheetah sanctuary on my way back to Windhoek.
