"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"
The highlights were the morning walk and the evening game drives, all of them with Boni, an exceptional mine of information about geology, the natural environment and local customs, all imparted with enthusiasm and modesty.
Also a superb careful driver, and a great scout - he retraced our steps to find lost sunglasses, which were then posted on to our next destination by our host, Claire. Surely beyond the call of duty !" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 3n in Zambia

"Etendeka review"
The location in the Etendeka mountains was superb. The walks were interesting and we learnt a lot about the geology and the flora. The game drive with Dennis was great - we saw lots of Hartmanns mountain zebras as well as the usual other animals." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Etendeka review"
Bonnie's guided walk was hot but very interesting - In hindsight we would have preferred to do it even earlier before the heat of the day.
Dennis gave us a wonderful lesson on the stars with the aid of his laserbeam and telescope at 5am and that was one of the highlights of our holiday." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia
"Amazing Etendeka"
Considering where they are and how difficult it is to get supplies the standard of food was amazing. This set the standard for the rest of the holiday.
Staff were very friendly and knowledgable, Dennis and Claire made us very welcome and Bonnie was a brilliant guide. I even had a great massage!
Accommodation was good - very clean" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Etendeka for that wilderness experience"
Owner absent but staff excellent - welcoming, informative. Guides first rate field skills incl birds, languages, cultural info etc. Good walking in dramatic landcapes with plenty of varied game incl leaopard, aardwolf as well as good nrs of the usual beasts.
This is a camp for people who want to enjoy a wilderness experience and don't mind a somewhat makeshift air about the camp and facilities." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Must Stay location - fabulous"
Fabulous and informative hiking in the morning and great animal viewing in the afternoon - so different from Etosha; were rally lucky to see a leopard as well as herds of Hartmann Zebra and giraffe etc
Two days is too short" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana
