Travel reviews by Ms G from Ireland

"standard of accomodation good. hosts very welcoming and helpful"

"beautiful warm welcome with much needed refreshing complimentary drink.

Stunning location with beautiful sunset right outside our chalet. chalet's gorgeous. very nice homely meal. would highly recommend."

"ended up in the 'honeymoon chalet' which was approx 500 m from main house right in the heart of the mountains. Chalet beautifully built into rock with glass walls, which resulted in a view from the bed which you could not forget. Surrounded by mountains behind which the sun rose the following morning. outdoor shower and bathroom facilities was a unique luxurious experience.

if staying in barchan dune, definitely ask for the honeymoon suite. hosts very welcoming and entertaining."

"exceptionally warm welcome by beautifully friendly people. incredibly helpful and catered to all of our needs and desires (booking restaurants, early breakfast, laundry etc).

would highly recommend if travelling to swapomund.

Whilst here, we arranged a Walvis Bay Pelican Point kayaking excursion for these travellers. They commented:

kayaking with jeanne is a must.

a most magical experience which was a definite highlight of our holiday. Jeanne is an amazing, passionate, welcoming and enthusiastic host. highly, highly, highly recommend"

"what an amazing place. the best in the whole of Namibia.

staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming and helpful. The facilities are incredible and the rooms out of this world. Absolute luxury in the heart of the mountains. The excursion to see the desert adapted elephants was magical, travelling across damaraland to try to find them was great fun and then getting up so close to the herd was totally amazing and unexpected.

Heinrich's smile and exuberant welcome as you pass in and out of the gate of mowani creates the best first and last impressions we encountered on our whole trip."

"a shock to the system after the friendly Namibian welcomes we had become accustomed to. A government run set up with staff who grunted at you on arrival and little more after this. very disorganised set up in restaurant and ridiculous lack of trust at check out.

Rooms were average with horrible smell of disinfectant. flood lit water hole does make this a worthy stop when in etosha but be prepared for a lesser standard of accommodation and service compared to the rest of Namibia."

"a ray of sunshine after our okaukuejo experience.

wonderful warm welcome. standard of accommodation fantastic. staff really friendly and helpful. very close to ethosa which means getting into and out of the park is easy. would highly, highly recommend."

"nice location on the riverside from where you can do an enjoyable cruise. friendly welcome.

needs some updating as rooms were stale and musty."

"Johann and Monica are enthusiastic hosts in Ndhovu with Johann clearly passionate about what he does and can offer. tents are bit on basic side and could be updated, bathrooms could be more private.

it was particularly cold while we were there and electric blankets would have been a welcome addition."

"fantastic place to stay, staff very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable.

the excursions we did from Garden Lodge were absolutely amazing. we did two game drives and one boat cruise which were exceptionally well run and good fun with John (or shall we call him Carlos) and Kelvin the prefect guides. The sunset boat cruise was one of the most amazing things we did on our trip and we would recommend this as a must do / stay"

"large hotel which was quite different from all of the other small lodges on our trip. modern, comfortable facility. decent place to stay close to victoria falls. one night in victoria falls is plenty."
