"Basic accommodation, yet quirky & comfy."
The dinner was fine and we enjoyed using the hide overlooking the waterhole which attracted ostriches and eland. The compound included a swimming pool and good camping area and the birdlife was varied.
As we had a long drive the next day we ordered packed breakfasts to eat en route. Unfortunately these were terrible, consisting of one soggy ham and cheese toast and lots of sweet things (lollies etc) which we were unable to eat."

"More tall stories at roys"
"Roys Restcamp review"
However we found it to be welcoming, novel and an appropriate and comfortable staging post on the way to the Caprivi Strip. No-one could say this quirky lodge would represent the norm in Namibia.
Its eccentric décor did not appear to upset the wild life which made their daily progress through the grounds to and from the waterhole.
On the day that we were there we were the sole overnighters in the bungalows but a full range of dishes were available both in the evening and at breakfast." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Pleasant surprise"
For us it was a little tricky getting to our next lodge at the appointed meeting time, the distance was just a bit too far. We really had to push it. Also the time change on Sunday, October 1st, did not happen in Botswana. At that point, it was the same time in both countries. This was very fortunate or we would have been really late."

"Interesting and comfortable"
"Quirky, cool and rustic"
Small mosquito nets - adequate - but easy to get into a tangle with. The doors to the rooms had bolts on the outside, which could be a safety concern if someone chose to lock you in! The staff were friendly and helpful, and we were served a delicious breakfast.
Quirky, interesting place to stay. Fine for 1 night." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
