Namib has less animals and sometimes they are farther away from you than in the Bots Okavango Delta area, but the Ongava/Etosha area in Namibia seemed to have the most animals , and seemed a little more like Botswana than the rest of Namibia.
Some of the people we met at Skeleton Coast invited us to evening meals at two of the more upscale lodges, (Little Ongava and Little Kulala) so we got to see those- we were staying at the slightly less expensive Ongava Lodge and Kulala Desert lodges. Little Ongava in the public areas seemed a lot like Ongava lodge and was only 200 feet away (we walked with a guide) and had a higher but farther away view of the same watering hole. Little Kulala was a lot like Vumbura Plains in Botswana- Pros- large elegant rooms with huge stone baths with really high design public areas - looked like a New York City Penthouse . Cons- some of the paint seemed peeling on the decks of the private unit, private pool was a little murky and there were large grasshopper bugs , about 1 every square meter- none of those at Little kulala- vegetation difference I think. Sefofane air transfers were great. Red dunes were beautiful at Sossalivile (sp) as was the balloon ride. we liked Kulala desert lodge a lot. we liked Namibia. Saw More self drive people. Few Americans - Brits French, Italians, S Africans Swiss etc
