Travel reviews by P&K from UK

"Welcoming, easily found and a great first taste of Namibia.

Rooms comfortable, breakfast great atmosphere nice and helpful staff."

"This place was a treat. We had it all to ourselves which was a bonus! Friendly staff, good food, interesting, quirky and huge room. The setting is magnificent. We walked up into the gorges and the hills beyond early in the morning on the trail of the skittish zebra, watched by curious klipspringers. Peaceful, beautiful and fascinating.

Back at base the pool was good - if cold! Jobe took good care of us and Jeanette, sitting in for the owner was great too.

Headed up for sunset looking over the valley - amazing light, the odd zebra in the distance and hard to beat."

"So off to the desert - what a treat. Atmospheric setting - not quite at the base of the dunes but out in the desert, overlooking a river bed and water hole with shimmering red dunes behind. Sleeping on the roof was a highlight - as was the evening talk on the stars - which have to be seen to be believed.

Into the dunes in the morning - another early start - weird, wonderful, windy! The sand and dust blowing around only added to the mystery. Dead Vlei was amazing - the sand road further in was like driving through fog.

Don't miss the cakes at afternoon tea...."

"What a place! Hard to think we'd top the previous ones but the buildings are quirky and the views through the huge windows over the sand dunes are hard to believe - it's like a huge widescreen TV that shows irresistible sunsets and a bit later amazing sunrises.

Swakop a nice break from driving - and we had sunny weather.

Desert Breeze is no longer really separate from town as town spreads to gather it up - but it feels unworldy and hardly affected."

"Ten plus km up a rocky track to get there from the road - after the most amazing drive up the skeleton coast. Somehow better rooms than anything so far - with views to die for - different again. A sung welcome, the evening menu in click language - you have to hear it and dancing/singing too - and it is really clear no one is being coerced to do it - warms the heart honestly.

Out with Richard to see the elephants - out of Africa breakfast and the loo with a view hard to beat and on to the rock carvings. Pool very welcome for a bit of rest and relaxation."

"Anderssons is set in the Ongava reserve just outside Etosha (drive right up to the park gate and turn left).

We were kept awake by bellowing lions - so felt more comfortable having the electric fence (though on your balcony you're outside that - I don't think the lions knew). We were mesmerised by the black rhino drinking at the waterhole - unlike the South African blokes who carried on drinking their beers and looking the other way - I guess it just gets to be routine.

The hide is amazing - you watch spellbound within feet of animals at the hole."

"Another fine place - great main hall area open plan and nice.

If there was a criticism it was the food being a bit over complicated.

Sitting quietly by the room watching the dik diks come around in the morning, followed by playful ground squirrels was a treat."

"What a place to finish up. Amazing eerie mountains - granite lumps rising out of the bush.

Great drive up - too steep for the car in first gear - the one and only time we needed low range. Great rooms, fantastic views, the sunset over the mountains was hard to beat. Good food, lots to see and rock hyrax a constant background."
