Little Kulala
"Little Kulala review"
2 nights
Arrived
5 Mar 2013
"Very good lodge, albeit larger and less intimate than Boulders.
Location not spectacular, but close to the park gate, which makes it convenient for early park entry.
Excellent food and "bushman's dinner". Our guide EpiMarkus was very nice and thoughtful."

Schoeman's Skeleton Coast Safaris
"Schoeman's Skeleton Coast Safaris review"
3 nights
Arrived
7 Mar 2013
"This is a truly special experience, at times certainly not for the faint-hearted, but uniquely memorable.
All camps are in unique locations and very well thought through - one finds everything one needs, despite there being no luxury. As Bertus Schoeman says, it is all about the journey (safari), rather than creature comforts. Both the flying and driving parts of the journey provide an excellent introduction into Namibia - the scenery often being simply spectacular!
This was an adventure not to be easily forgotten:)"

"This is a special place and team. Villa very nice and comfortable. The team of Anna-Marie, Defriss, Martin and Martin are all excellent - felt as if we were staying over with friends.
Have never seen leopard and cheetah so up close and personal, african wild dogs too! Felt really sad to have to leave in the end."
