"Big Canyon"

2 nights Arrived 2 May 2008
"This is a big camp with 80+ beds but do not be put off, as the rooms are basic clean but very good value. The food is good, albeit buffet (not my favourite) and the staff are very helpful. The location makes it great for the Canyon both north and south.

It is a travellers pass through point, with large groups staying just one night, but a good stop off for a couple of nights." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Canon Village review"

2 nights Arrived 2 Mar 2008
"I really liked this place. The location was lovely and the pool area was probably my favourite of all the places I stayed - what a fantastic view from a pool !!. Initially I was a bit upset that we could not get into the Canon Lodge and ended up here but was very happy with everything at the village.

The food was excellent and I liked the buffet style. Service was also excellent and the sundowner walk was a very nice little extra." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"A rocky residence"

3 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2007
"Unusual settings although quite a long walk to the furthest bungalows. Worth the walk with outstanding views and peace and quiet.

Main building facilities good. The nature drive/farm visit was very interesting and worthwhile. We drove ourselves to Fish River Canyon - spectacular." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
