Travel reviews by Miss M & Mr M from Ireland

"Guesthouse was lovely. Great breakfast and helpful staff. Rooms were nice."

"We were upgraded on arrival. Loved bush camp. Rooms were amazing and we had our own family of warthog!! Food was fantastic and all staff were very friendly and willing to help.

Bit dissapointed that we didnt get to 'adopt a spot' and felt surprised that staff werent more willing to assist with us donating to the Foundation."

"Busy but comfortable. Waterhole was amazing at night. Very practical place to stay to see best of Etosha."

"Very happy with room - plenty of space and very comfortable. Great game viewing here and waterhole was great!! Food not as good as first camp"

"Absolutey beautiful setting and lodge. great shower and food was fantastic. Free wifi and good gift shop here. Very close to park"

"Nice overlooking the river at angola. Staff were standoffish but ok when approached. Room was big and had balcony although soundproofing between rooms was poor. Breakfast not great but dinner was good."

"We were a bit worried on drive there but we neednt have been. what a beautiful place to stay.One of our favourites on this trip. Right beside river with plenty of hippo and crocs. the resident hippo was amazing and we got to see him twice.

Dogs at lodge were adorable and staff were amazing. Johan and Monica were lovely. Nice honesty bar and very relaxed atmosphere among guests and staff. Food was great.

Activities were reasonable and water cruise was great. Not so much to see in Game Reserve on our trip but saw loads of birds."

"One night may have been enough here. Activites were very expensive and dissapointing (we were unlucky with both the drive and cruise but others had better luck). White staff did not acknowledge guests at all. Sat at bar and even took up all seats around the campfire so guests couldnt use it.

A consultant arrived on our last day and greatly improved our experience. He was very friendly and helpful. Short staffed for dinner and resources were low ie no still water no bread etc for day 1. Food was lovely and our Tree House was beautiful. Too expensive expecially after our great experience in Ndhovu."

"Very close to Chobe, lovely common areas. Dinner was ok but not as nice as most places we stayed. Staf were very nice and helpful. Especially Mosi and our guides. Many thanks to them. Room was small and air con too loud to have on although we would have needed it.

Water cruise was fabulous. SO much wildife to see. Game drive was great too. Very personal service."

"We were so lucky to get tp stay here due to a mix up with bookings. It is a wonderful place in what feels like the true african wilderness. Rooms are amazing. Phil and Gaby were lovely and so welcoming. Food was great. Had great bush walk but we were unlucky to miss the Suveiti trip which sounded unbelievable.

True relaxation and we would def be back if we could afford it. Would have loved to be there for two nights at least. Many thanks to everyone involved... A real gem!!!!"

"Very surprised at how beautiful the lodge was. Felt like a 5 star hotel. Dinner and breakfast were best yet. Expensive but thats Zimbabwe! Very close to Falls. easy walk.

Only one night here and to be honest we were happier to spend time in Botswana as once you have seen the falls and maybe managed to fit in an activity you feel like your time is better spent elsewhere esp if you are looking for wildlife experiences."

"This was a lovely guesthouse - the decor was fantastic and the attention to detail made it more special. It was a lovely relaxing place to spend a night in Windhoek!

We were not staying very long in the city so we didnt have the opportunity to see if there were many activities to do in Windhoek."

"This was our favourite place in Namibia!!!! We were sad to leave and would have loved to be staying another night.

Our Guide Herman was brilliant - such a gentleman and his love and enthusiasm for the place was contagious!! The food was first class and all of the staff were more than helpful!!

The view from our room was gorgeous and the tented accommodation was very comfortable!! We would go back here in a heartbeat!!!

The 20 km drive to the main camp is quite overwhelming for new arrivals to namibia and although we had discovered this in Chris's book it may be useful to inform travellers of this in the literature provided."

"There was a slight mix up on arrival as our voucher stated that we were staying in the desert lodge however it transpired that we were actually booked into the wilderness camp - thankfully were were able to stay in the desert camp as we would not have appreciated having to drive another 44km after a very long day of driving!!!

The camp was fine - no problems with staff - we found the food to be ok but not up to the standard we had got used to in Wolwedans! The lodge were exceptionally helpful with our car trouble and were more than willing to help with our flat tire with minimum fuss!

We also felt a bit less relaxed here as it was expected for all guests to take part in all activites with litttle flexibility re: times/type of activites. We left from this lodge to fly in a hot air balloon with Namibia balloon safaris and this was an amazing activity!!"

"We found this guest house to be 'different'.

We had a perfectly comfortable stay and it was a good base to discover this region. Sam was very hospitable but the same couldnt be said for the female member of staff behind the counter.

Im sure the food was lovely but as we didnt feel like a 5 course meal every night we were forced to go into swap to eat in local restaraunts."

"This is a lovely and very unusual lodge - the setting is stunning and very unexpected!

The staff were more than helpful and there was a lot of flexibility in the type and time of activities. The food was nice and we particularly enjoyed 3pm tea and cake!!

The singing and dancing by the staff was wonderful and gave a very authentic african feel to our stay!

The stars here were amazing and the fact that someone is on hand to help with stargazing was great!!"

"We loved Etosha and our waterhole chalet was more than comfortable.

The number of people is a surprise after the tranquility of the previous lodges and the quality and choice of food obviously suffers because of the crowds that are being catered for!

The flood lit waterhole was fantastic and is a must for evening viewing!"

"The chalet we stayed in was very spacious and it was great to have a seperate kitchen/living area.

The flood lit water hole was great and the camp was more peaceful and less crowded that Okaukuejo!"

"we were sad we only had one night here as it is in a stunning setting!

the food was lovely and the service excellent!! you really are in the wilderness here and sleep was a bit hard to achieve with the baboons and other animals running about!

having a mini bar was an excellent change from doro nawas and kulala!"

"we had a comfortable stay here."

"What can we say about this beautiful place?? We had such a lovely stay - from the minute we arrived at the airport and were taken to the Marlin Lounge we knew we were in for a treat!!

The island is beautiful and the lodge is fantastic - all of the staff were more than helpful and couldnt have been more attentive!!

the activities here are brilliant and the choice we were offered was great!! the food was 5* and the kitchen staff were so flexible!! We couldnt fault this lodge and we had a perfect 5 nights - the only problem was that we had to leave!!!!!"
