Hallo Heidi,
In last November, I made reservation for both Etoscha and Sossusvlei on NWR web. I got the reply within 3 days. After I paid the down payment, I got the booking confirmation & payment receipt in 2 days. I was quite happy with such quick response.
In early March, I paid the final payments for both two reservations. I got the final confirmation & payment receipt for Etoscha after 10 days. As for Sossusvlei, I haven’t got anything from NWR so far.
I guess that it is because NWR is now changing their booking system (they attached this announcement to me together with the final booking confirmation). However, I still chase and remind them for another final booking confirmation every 3 or 4 days. This is what I can do now.
Good luck to you and also to everyone who deal with NWR.
