Our November 2017 Namibia trip
Namibia between 27 Nov 2017 and 15 Dec 2017
"Everything went according to plan. Namibia is an incredible place with so much to see and enjoy.
The planning of our trip worked very well for us although one night less in Swakopmund and one night more somewhere else would have been perfect."

3 nights
Arrived
30 Nov 2017
"Owner & staff extremely helpful. We were given a lovely room with a lounge area for a little relaxation.
My husband needed a dentist and we called in advance and Peter, the owner, arranged an appointment locally and all was done and dusted the day after we arrived.
Excellent breakfast and good location."

Arrived
3 Dec 2017
"We were given room 10 which had spectacular views from a lovely terrace.
The pool area sadly did not have a view and where the sunbeds were it was rather dark.
Great views from the main dining area outside."

Mowani Mountain Camp
"Great Camp"
2 nights
Arrived
5 Dec 2017
"Our only gripe was that there were a large group on our first night and then a group of 10 travel agents on an educational which rather spoilt the ambience.
They were a little roudy at times in a place where calm and peace was called for.
Expressed our views to Zane the general manager who was going to take it further.
Otherwise pool area delightful and accommodation great."

Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp
"Amazing Place"
3 nights
Arrived
7 Dec 2017
"Simply stunning location, accommodation and public areas. the one thing that let them down greatly was the food.
Breakfast was fine but lunch and dinner were poor comparison with previous lodges we had stayed at.
We were not only ones who felt that way."

Feedback response
We were disappointed to hear this feedback regarding the quality of the food at Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp and that this prevented what could have been a near perfect stay. After forwarding these comments to the lodge, they have told us that the food and beverage manager is in the process of implementing new measures and new training of the kitchen team with the aim of improving the food standard and quality on a daily basis.
Ongava Lodge

10 Dec 2017
"A perfect place to stay on the edge of Etosha Park.
Food the first night could have been better, not much choice really, but once we spoke to Bernice the Manager things improved as we ordered some dishes which the chef prepared specially for us."

Mushara Outpost
"Delightful"
1 night
Arrived
12 Dec 2017
"A delightful place to stay on your way through.
The main building was like a large private home, really well designed and lovely furniture etc.
The pool are was especially nice for some downtime.
Staff were unaware that we were All Inclusive and had to check with their main office as the computer said NO but our voucher said YES."

Okonjima Bush Camp
"Lovely Camp"
2 nights
Arrived
13 Dec 2017
"Lovely accommodation. Apart from your chalet you have a TV room style viewing point next door with fridge and refreshments.
Although you are at ground level there is a beautiful view with animals and birds in sight.
Amazing place to see leopards and cheetah. The guides have tracking devices and seem to find them most times.
There is a trip to a hide at night where you can view the animals very closely.
Lovely pool area for some downtime which you need with the early mornings."
