Hi Waine, interesting question, wilderness does have lodges in namibia, if I am not mistaken, I think ccafrica too has some properties, but would be interested in knowing any specialist nambinian operator,

Wilderness also has the best series of lodges in Namibia (I have only stayed at Ongava, near Etosha, but they have lodges in some very remote parts of the country).

Again if it troubles you so much, why dont you raise the capital and compete with them. History suggests that companies who forget what made them successful end up losing in the end. So if WS fail to provide great service they will be less successful.

In the meantime Waine I suggest you check out the websites of Southern Africa specialists and see what's out there.

The rapid expansion, takeover or whatever of Wilderness in Namibia is fairly evident.

If I required investment advice I would ask an investment advisor.

I would suggest that you look further into your trip there are many lodges campsites etc. that are not run by Wilderness. I would recommend staying at the government camps for the price of one night at Okonjimo you could stay for 6 inside the park.
