Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs M from Herts

"Very helpful reception, excellent for your first or last night of a trip.

Close enough to the centre of town, but in a residential area. The rooms were very comfortable."

"Lovely location. All the staff were extremely helpful.

Lovely sundowner and early morning walks with the guides were great fun, and we learnt a lot."

"The rooms were very comfortable, and the central area really well thought out overlooking a lovely waterhole.

We took the night drive and the guides worked hard to make sure we saw plenty of game, including two Cheetahs , two lionesses and two cubs. Well placed for driving into Etosha as the main gate is very close but very luxurious to come back to in the evening."

"Stayed in a waterhole chalet, although NWR's main booking system had bumped us down from the premium chalet which Expert Africa had booked us into.

Having said that, the chalet was fine, and its really all about the waterhole, which was excellent. overall we were pleasantly surprised as we had read so much bad feedback. But the chalet was clean, the food was OK, and people were quiet at the waterhole. We would recommend a night here."

"Etendeka is a once in a lifetime experience. The drive into the camp is the first taste of proper 4X4 driving. then when you reach the camp, you realise what true wilderness is.

There are only 10 tents, so the number of guests is very limited. The eating arrangements are in the main tent, where there is a single long table around which a long entertaining dinner makes a perfect end to each day.

The game drive we went on was amazing - after more 4X4 driving, we came to a green valley with a permanent spring. And loads of game, including desert adapted elephants. I can't believe that we spent a whole morning looking at rocks, and Bonnie had us all completely spellbound on the geology of the area - how did he do that!!

The whole thing is brilliantly run by Dennis and Bonnie, the best hosts in the whole of our journey (and the others were all pretty good too)"

"Only here for a night, but the staff were brilliant. we even learnt the local language."

"This is an excellent base for exploring the area. the old view of walvis bay as the poor relation needs rethinking - this hotel is a great place to start

We took a kayaking trip with the seals, and then a long trip down to Sandwich harbour for lunch. Brilliant trip, and the lunch was memorable."

"Very comfortable, and the views as the sun set were fantastic.

it is well worth taking the guided trip into Sossusvlei is a very good idea, i wouldn't want to do it on my own. it is well worth getting up early to see the sun rise."

"We didn't do much here, just watched the su set and had one too many sundowners. it is a very comfortable lodge, with charming staff, very relaxing.

The tame meerkat is a star"
