"Great experience in remote setting"
Walks and safari drives very enjoyable and informative in amazing environment.
Food was outstanding, homemade and could be on a menu in a quality restaurant. They also catered well for a vegetarian.
We were well looked after and even enjoyed the bucket showers." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"The "Boni" show"
We found the camp a wonderful place to relax and there was plenty of time in between the morning walks and afternoon drives to do so.
PLUS points: -
Tented accomodation - rustic but exciting in the wind!
Bucket showers - good fun and do the job!
Excellent home-cooked food - the best we had, some of which was cooked on the fire.
Boni the guide - really made the three days we had there very special. His knowledge, humour and personality made all the difference. He even introduced the evening meal in his own "click" langauge and took us on very interesting and informative walks into the bush. You felt it was a privilege to have met him. We learned so much (didn't know you could tell so much from dung!).
Game drives with Boni were again very interesting and succesful - we saw loads of wildlife and he pointed out to us fresh lion prints.
NEGATIVES - None - we loved it!, but it may not be for those who like their luxury or don't like walking." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia
"Three days in the wilderness"
We settled into the routine of a morning walk, early afternoon siesta and late afternoon drive. On the drives we saw more elephants, a distant rhino and baby, and some good birds. One evening Dennis came with tracking aerial and searchlight to try and locate a lioness but without luck. On the second day it turned out we were the only guests so Bonnie took us on a slightly longer walk with a bit of easy scrambling to see some of the trees on the plateau. If we ever come again it would be great to do a full day walk in the hills - just walking through this landscape is a joy.
We'd agree that you need at least 3 night here, 2 nights doesn't do it justice." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
