Travel reviews by B family from Weybridge

"A lovely rest stop after a long journey.

Warm hospitality, nicely designed rooms with some stunning photography and very delicious dinner."

"We were aware that was quite a drive to the dunes but we stayed 3 nights so that we could have one of the days doing activities at the camp. Rooms were more basic than other places we stayed at but the setting was beautiful and very respectful of the local landscape.

We stayed in the family room which was set back a little so didn't have the views the main 2 person stone cottages, but the bar and terrace had amazing view so it didn't really matter. The horse riding was a great experience for the kids and we were the only ones on the sundowner drive which made it really special.

They do a great 'breakfast packet' which is more like a packed lunch which keeps you going when you are out at the dunes etc during the day."

"Really nice guesthouse in central Swakopmund. Breakfast was delightful and the hospitality warm (Peter the owner was very attentive). A great base for this interesting town.

Also, recommend the kayaking with seals trip with Jeanne...absolutely fantastic!"

"This is a really quirky and stunning camp.

It is hard to even see it as you drive up as it has been so clearly created within the landscape. The rooms are great but the outside shower, bathroom and verandah really make it.

The food was excellent and the sundowner bar at the top of the hill a delight.

The trips to the Rock Carvings and the Desert Elephants are well worth it."

"This is a really unique place. 50,000 hectares of private reserve with this camp the only concession. It is an 1.5hr drive in by land rover but that is a game drive in itself.

The tents and communal areas are quite utilitarian but this is all part of the magic. The guided walk and game drive are great but the scary skies and the fact that we were only 4 out of the 20 tourists staying in this vast area made it really special.

All night we could zebras snorting and neighing around our tent and it was lovely to get up first thing and see them grazing happily close by."

"The waterhole makes this camp. The rooms, food and facilities are quite basic but being able to watch endless animals coming to the waterhole to drink on an ongoing basis with a glass of wine in your hand make this really special.

If you can get beyond the fact that there quite a lot of people milling about and get lost in the safari movie in front of you, you will love it. We saw many rhino, giraffes and lots of antelope but the highlight was watching what must have been about 40 elephants at sunset. This waterhole had more action than many of the ones within the park that you drive to, so to have this within easy reach at all times it ideal.

Definitely the place to stay in Etosha."

"This is a fab place and we wish we had had longer than one night. Rooms are massive and with stunning views, food was excellent and the guide on the game drive was probably the best we had.

For the first time ever we saw leopard...twice! and some cheetah. We went on a night drive and saw aardvark and porcupine.

They even surprised us with a bottle of champagne for our wedding anniversary and as it was our last night it made it very special."
