"Good for last night"
Although the staff were friendly, there seemed to be a bit confused at times. Although we didn't want to do any activities, we weren't offered any either.
We had a 5 course tasting dinner with wine - the wine was very nice, but the food was very disappointing, shame as it was our last night." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"River Crossing review"
It was the only place that did not offer a welcome drink, an important touch after a long drive.
I did not feel that we really met anyone in charge and just seemed to exist on the periphery of a conference that was being held there on the day we left." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
