Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs C from Norwich

"We arrived late and only had a short time here before starting our trip so we didn't see any of Windhoek.

The rooms are small but adequate as not a lot of time would be spent here. The shower is good.

The staff made us feel very welcome; Angelius chatted to us about Namibia and Matilda prepared a very nice breakfast.

The guesthouse is close to a supermarket where we stocked up before we left."

"The chalets are very good with a private patio and chairs. Thomas, the host ensures that your stay is superb. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

We are vegetarians and the meals here were the best that we had in Namibia.

Hoodia Desert Lodge's tour was fully booked but it was extremely easy to it ourselves. If you want to take the organised tour, book early!"

"The guest house is very central as the name implies.

The rooms are comfortable and the staff very hospitable."

"The lodge is set on a hill with lots of different levels. The gardens are lovely and it is a wonderful setting.

There is a waterhole that can be viewed from the rooms.
The buffet was fine for vegetarians."

"We did not have to wait many minutes before the golf cart collected us from the car park when we arrived.
We went on the game drive which introduced us to the animals in Etosha; wonderful.

As vegetarians, this was the worst dinner that we had in Namibia!

The tent was very noisy in the wind but comfortable."

"The bush chalets are basic but spacious. There is a separate little kitchen type area with a sofa with tea/coffee making facilities. The only sockets are in this area.

Ladies, the only mirror is in the bathroom so hair drying has to take place without a mirror next to the sink in the kitchen!

The dinner buffet does not cater for vegetarians so this made the meal expensive for what we could eat but everyone else seemed to be enjoying it. There is a small shop but no cooking equipment in the kitchen; there is a BBQ outside the chalet.

The water hole is excellent though and we just spent the days and nights sitting by it. We saw 2 male elephants fighting it out at the floodlit waterhole and later we saw a rhino and her baby. The benches around the waterhole are not very comfortable for long periods though-take a cushion!"

"The main part of the camp is lovely and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The staff bought out a birthday cake for a guest and entertained us all with their singing-very talented.
vegetarians; a nice meal the first night and they catered for us on the second night when there was a BBQ. The tables were laid out in a clearing and the area looked good with lanterns on all the tables.

The first night was very cold and windy and I could feel the draughts coming into the tent. All the canvas flaps were making a tremendous noise in the wind and I thought that the tent would disappear over our heads!
There is a mesh window on the wall of the shower and I decided it was too cold to go in there! The second night was less windy and we went around the outside of the tent to ensure that the flaps that we could reach were zipped up tight.

I appreciate that the wild life can't be controlled but the ants were everywhere-including in the shower. Don't take any food into the tent.

We enjoyed the game drive that we took into Etosha from the camp and had a very beautiful sun set behind us as we returned to the camp."

"The bungalows are very well appointed and spacious with a fridge and drink making facilities.
We went for short a walk on the land opposite and a game drive where we saw 6 white rhinos.

Food was good for vegetarians."

"The bungalows are really well appointed with a large picture window opposite the beds. There is a large shower and 2 basins.

This camp is all about the activities and we were booked on them all! We tracked leopards (twice), walked up to a group of cheetahs and visited the Africat Foundation.

We were grouped with 2 other couples from the UK for the game drives and meals and kept the same guide throughout.

We couldn't visit the hide though as the storm knocked out the lights there."

"We spent our last night in the guest house so that we wouldn't have to rush to the airport form Okonjima.
We had stayed there on our first night and it was nice to see the same staff again.
One of the men made a good job of cleaning the car for us."
