Doro Nawas
"Doro Nawas - an oasis in the desert"
2 nights
Arrived
20 Sep 2013
"Friendly, well-trained and attentive staff made for a very comfortable stay. Our guide, Reinhold, eventually tracked down the desert elephants after a long hunt. He was pleasant but could do with a bit more training on demonstrating the flora and fauna.
Our outing to Twyfelfontein was a highlight - we drove ourselves. The rock engravings were fascinating. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The pertified foresr was also worth a short visit."

Okaukuejo Camp
"A magnificent waterhole at Okaukuejo"
2 nights
Arrived
22 Sep 2013
"We enjoyed the location of our accommodation overlooking the waterhole - this was an excellent way of viewing the game and birdlife.
The management of the facilities at the camp lacked attention to detail - with a bit more supervision and training the overall experience could be enhanced. The trip from west to east through Etosha was outstanding - we saw so much especially at the waterholes."
