"A Great Surprise"

1 night Arrived 1 Feb 2020
"This place was a big surprise for us. A truly luxurious camp with beautiful accommodations, an exquisite setting for the patio, dining area and infinity pool, sitting high on the hillside overlooking a large watering hole below.

The food was amazing, some of the best for our whole trip. The wildlife viewing was fabulous. Must have seen 10 white rhinos and spent time watching them in a mud hole. Had an amazing encounter with wild dogs, one of only two places in Namibia, from what we were told, that has them.

We were sadly disappointed to only have one night here. A great stop near the Winhoek airport, either on your way in or out of the country." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"Spoiling place"

2 nights Arrived 26 Feb 2019
"Lovely and spoiling place. Super polite and helpful staff, an amazingly wonderful place to stay at beginning or end of safari for great relaxation.

Not far from Windhoek airport. They have their own safari area but a bit sparse on sightings.

Extra excursions available and walk with the cheetahs was great experience." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
