Great cultural experience - Eating caterpillars - that was memorable. There was no dead time on this tour. Frans gave us all of his time, obviously eager for us to enjoy the culture of Namibia. We did. We were told of traditional wedding customs while visiting Mama's house, we visited a roadside market, sampled typical dishes of the area and were serenaded by a group of singers. All in all, a very satisfying experience after a rather shaky start due to miscommunication. I like it that Frans sought to upgrade his product by asking us to question him more. He would use that information to improve the tour. Good luck, Frans.
