Travel reviews by Mr S & Mrs G from Malaga

"A very good, relaxed, tranquil B&B which was perfect for us to stay overnight and recover from the journey from Europe.

Nice for bird-watching and there is an excellent Portugese/Mozambique sea-food restaurant 5 mins away. Helpful owner and a superb breakfast the next day."

"We stayed 2 nights but I would recommend 1 night to break the journey between Windhoek & the South.

The combo afternoon game drive/ cheetah feeding & sunset drink was very good and I highly recommend the 7am walk with some bushmen"

"It is a bit different with old vehicles littered around the place which is a bit wacky. The food was OK rather than good, but some very nice aloes in the garden and we saw a lovely sunset sitting out on the terrace. We needed our 4WD the next day as there was heavy rain and a stream turned into a biggish river coming back from the Canyon.

We had lunch at another lodge nearby which we preferred."

"Fantastic views from our chalet, especially at sunrise and sunset.

The BBQ kit and breakfast kit are very good and it was fun cooking our own dinner, although we needed to find some kindling to help start the BBQ. Very well equipped and a good selection of wines and beers available in the chalet.

Highly recommended 2 nights."

"We arrived in searing 34 degree heat to find that our tent had some much needed A/C which made it perfect.

Great views, quiet location, excellent tents and the food at Sossusviei Lodge 5 mins away was very good.

Highly recommended."

"Beautiful setting with great views out to the valley and the morning sun moving up as we sipped tea on our verandah at first light.

Excellent, friendly hosts and it was fun and interesting to join them and the other guests for a very tasty dinner featuring springbok. It was quite hot for sleeping but we were there in January.

I would personally recommend 1 night rather than 2."

"We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. Nice, quiet location but close to the restaurants. good rooms and an excellent breakfast.

We had a problem with our hire car here and Robyn was most helpful in getting it sorted out. It is worth getting her to book restaurants beforehand to get a good table for the sunset. The Tug is a particularly good seafood place.

Whilst in Swakopmund these travellers enjoyed a Pelican Point kayaking excursion. Here's what they said about it:

Craig was a very good guide and we had a most enjoyable morning with him, first of all birding on the drive out to Pelican Point and then the kayak trip amongst the seals. Recommended."

"Slightly mixed views on Doro Nawas.

The setting is gorgeous and we had great sunsets seen from the verandah, excellent food and a lot of fun with the local Damara staff who were most attentive. We did however find it rather expensive for what it offers and N$800pp is over the top for a game drive especially as we did not see any elephants or other exciting game.

It was very hot when we stayed at the end of January, 45 degrees with a hot wind, and A/C would have been very welcome. One night would have been enough for us."

"The best things are the water-hole in front of the verandah and the private reserve it is set in where we went for a very nice game drive.

The tents are quite old and run down and I found them quite tacky and small. The food was OK."

"This was the best place we stayed at in 3 weeks in Namibia, 10 out of 10.

Lovely spacious tents and a very well designed central reception/restaurant/lounge area looking out onto a nice garden. The food was first class and we enjoyed a lazy afternoon lounging around their excellent swimming pool area. Very reasonable price as well.

HIGHLY recommended"

"We enjoyed our stay here and particularly the early morning walk.

I would recommend 1 night."

"Very conveniently situated 5 mins from the airport but on a farm in the bush with a lovely garden and interesting succulent plants."

"We really liked our stay of 5 nights here.

Good, quiet location but not far away from Central Capetown. The staff were very nice, efficient and helpful in organising our activities and making restaurant bookings.

Highly recommended but best to have your own car."
