"Doro Nawas review"
"Doro Nawas review"
All staff at Doro Nawas are extremely friendly and helpful. We were most impressed (especially our 12-year old son) that all staff remembered and addressed us by our names.
Doro Nawas is an excellent choice for self-drives to Twyfelfontein, the Petrified Forest, the Organ Pipes and Burnt Mountain." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"An unusual and scenic location"
Accommodation was spacious and well appointed in individual thatched chalets. The communal facilities are on a high rock outcrop with wonderful views. Food was good. Staff as always were welcoming and hospitable." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Doro Nawas review"
We did take the evening drive to look for the elephants and happily found them but even if we hadn't the ride in the riverbed at sunset was gorgeous. The tours are a little pricey but the experience of being in this setting for a couple of days was unmatched for us." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Desert elephants a highlight"
The rooms were also splendid so first impressions not always correct! The elephant drive was a huge success, with a lot of elephants to the pound and the guide excellent. The visit to the village was really interesting and the people really keen to share their way of life with us. Anyone who thinks they have a hard life should definitely go there and experience how happy and welcoming these people are in very difficult circumstances. We also learnt that empty coke cans keep elephants away from your tomato plants!
The staff were friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Fantastic Elephant Safari at Doro Nawas"
"Doro Nawas"
We went on the trip to find the desert elephants- we were very pleased we had done this. We saw lots and would thoroughly recommend to others.
We visited the other local sites by car ourselves which was very easy to do." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Doro Nawas review"
We were lucky that our guide was able to find the group of desert elephants very quickly and we were able to follow them into the small village where there is a water tank. In addition, the village was holding its big celebration at the time. However, if the elephants had been somewhere else that day, it might not have been such an outstanding experience."
