Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs T from Bristol

"We had a very warm welcome from Ben and Heidi. This was a really good and convenient place to stay in Windhoek after an overnight flight because it is on the airport side of the city.

We ate at Am Weinberg on Ben's advice which was excellent."

"We stayed at Okaukuejo Camp 10 years ago and the accommodation and restaurant are much improved.

We had two fabulous evenings at the waterhole and saw a herd of 40 elephants, 11 giraffes, 7 rhinos, lots of springbok etc. Would recommend staying here because the waterhole is such an attraction for animals at this time of year in the dry season."

"We were given a very warm welcome by the managers Rosella and Volte. We were the only people at Erongo on the night we stayed so were upgraded to the honeymoon suite!

We wished we had booked 2 nights here because the location was stunning and service excellent. We enjoyed a guided sundowner walk up a kopje near the lodge and also a guided sunrise walk with Simon who was an excellent and knowledgable guide."

"We returned to Rostock after a stay here 10 years ago and it is as good as ever! Lana and Walter were excellent hosts, very attentive and keen that we should enjoy our stay.

They have developed independent walking routes from the lodge which were well signposted and we took advantage of three of these. There is a large enclosure that has been developed for meerkats that have been 'rescued' from their owners who no longer want them and this was a good opportunity to see them close up and to observe the daily feeding."

"We had a really interesting stay at Bullsport and enjoyed eating en famille with Ernst and Johanna and their staff plus other guests. They serve lots of game and more traditional Namibian dishes which are not necessarily available elsewhere and it was an interesting insight into life at a cattle, game and stud farm.

There are a series of walking trails from the farm and we did several of these, the best being the circular walk through the Quiver Tree gorge which was stunning. Trails were of varying lengths and well marked from the farm."

"The lodge was in an amazing location with terrific views. The tented chalets bar and restaurant were luxuriously appointed.

We appreciated the hot water bottles each night because it was cold in the evenings. Food was very european in style but excellent.

We enjoyed sitting around the log fire wrapped in blankets talking to other guests before and after dinner each evening."

"The hotel was very modern without any character but it was in a very convenient location and we were able to walk down to the harbour front for a meal each evening.

From Luderitz we went to Kolmanskop - well worth a visit. We also did a boat trip out to Halifax island where we saw penguins, dolphins, seals and flamingos not to mention a great variety of sea birds. Using the Bradt Guide we followed the suggested walking tour of the town which was an interesting activity for a couple of hours.

Luderitz Safaris on Bismarck Street were very helpful when we purchased the permit for visiting Kolmanskop and the boat tickets."

"This lodge is in the most amazing location on the rim of the canyon and we loved it! We enjoyed the sunrise and sunset walks around the rim of the canyon.

Tea, coffee and cake are complimentary mid afternoon."

"We were given a self catering apartment which was clean but basic. The staff on reception were very off hand when we arrived but we found all other staff to be courteous and attentive. We ate in the evening at Central Lodge and the food was fine, breakfast was basic but perfectly acceptable.

From here we visited the Giants Playground and Quiver Tree Forest which are very close to the town and both were excellent visits.

When we bought the permit for the Quiver Tree Forest at Greganius Farm we discovered that the farmer had 4 cheetah which were fed daily at 4.00pm (this is not in any guide book) so we went to the feeding session and, with other visitors, were allowed into the enclosure to get up very close to the cheetahs!"

"A very convenient place to stay en route back to Windhoek airport at the end of the holiday."
