Travel reviews by Mr M & Ms J from UK

"This was our first camp and we were very impressed. Lovely friendly staff, great accommodation and food.

This is an ideal place to stay just outside Etosha."

"Only stayed here one night but it is an ideal rest place as you travel across the Park. Quite a lot of people staying there but it never felt crowded or noisy.

The buffet food was good and the staff very attentive."

"Dolomite is a simply stunning camp due to a combination of location, design and the wildlife you can see down on the plain. The view from our balcony was awesome, we could lie in bed and watch the elephants moving around, and the pool area is beautiful.

The staff were really friendly and helpful but perhaps a little understaffed which meant service at meals was slow. Personally we did not think this was a problem, but some guests complained which we felt was unjust.

Perhaps because the whole camp is of such high quality some people expected private lodge standards but without paying for them. If we had to pick one favourite from all the camps we stayed at during our holiday this would be the one."

"Every thing about this camp is awesome - the location, the isolation, the hosts, the sky, the wicked shower......We stayed two nights and wished we'd stayed for three so we could have also done the longer walk up into the hills.

Dennis breathes Etendeka out of every pore and Ivan is a superb companion in interpreting the area - just don't believe all his tall tales."

"Huge room that allowed us to roll our beds outside and sleep under the stars which was lovely.

We went on the afternoon game drive to find the elephants - we were the only two guests for the trip and had an amazing time, literally taking hundreds of photographs. It took an hour of tracking to find the herd and was well worth it, then we went off to find the lions. Unfortunately they were hiding but we were out for five hours in total and experienced some incredible scenery - none of which we would have thought to see from the location of the camp itself.

The staff singing after supper was lovely."

"Lovely tents with great sunsets and the food was very good.

Guided walk was well worth doing but a little scary if you aren't good with heights."

"Unusual rooms but felt very small and dark after all our tented experiences."

"Good camp but feels like it needs a little TLC as regards maintenance. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was good.

The only real downside is the cost of the trips - you have to do the morning drive to the dunes because that is why you go there but the afternoon drive to the Canyon is very poor value, particularly if you are self drive."

"It would be hard to find a more perfect location for a camp, the peacefulness of it is mesmerising. This was our last stay out of the capital and we wanted to end on a highlight and it was lovely.

The only thing that let it down for us was the food, we were expecting something amazing but to be honest it was a little disappointing, our first lunch was superb but after that it did not seem to match the quality of the surroundings."

"For our final night this was a good stop over and the staff could not have been more helpful in trying to sort out our vehicle handover and airport pickup for the following early morning.

This is not a comment about Elegant but not sure where else to put it. We had been emailed by Expert Africa that our flight on Air Namibia had been rescheduled and put back 2 hours, but the company doing the airport transfer insisted this was not the case and we had to leave two hours earlier i.e. 4.30am. The staff at the Guesthouse did try to sort this out but the transfer company would not budge. When we were collected the following morning we discovered another couple were being transferred to the airport with us but they were travelling on a different flight 3 hours before ours. We can only assume that the transfer company just didn't want to do two journeys so made us leave really early....at least we were the first ones booked on!"
