A fantastic holiday, beyond our expectations

"Everything was perfectly organized. Thank you very much !
P. S. I forgot to mention the rock art after we left Camp Kipwe, extremely interesting., and the thousands of flamingos at Walvis Bay. What a sight !
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No suggestions ! Keep your high standards !"

"We were upgraded to Little Kulala and are very grateful for it.
It was an amazing place which we loved at first sight.
We had never been to a place like that before and there couldn't have been a better way to begin our holiday in Namibia and fall in love with the country ."

"Stunning lodge with rooms placed among the bush and wildlife under our room.
It has its own water hole where we admired impalas, kudus, guinea fowls and warthogs.
Some warthogs where roaming around the swimming pool !
Early in the morning, at breakfast time there were dik dik in the lawn.
We also saw birds, but can't remember their name."

"Very beautiful place with lodges mingling with the surrounding landscape of red boulders on the Erongo mountains.
Very friendly and really helpful staff. Breathtaking sunset.
We loved our guided walk to the live Museum of the San People and what we learned about their culture and life style.
We also appreciated the rock art they showed us."

Lake Manze Adventure Camp
"Great place to feel the bush experience"

2 Oct 2019
"Wonderful experience in the Wilderness in such an eco friendly camp.
The owners were very attentive to our needs, our guide was really excellent in giving us all possible information about animals and plants, our driver Amazing, in particular when driving after heavy rain. A truly memorable experience with hippos grunting by our tent at night, and elephants giving us a good morning only two metres away once when we were pouring the coffee brought to us with our wake up call !
On top of everything else I loved the hot spring in the bush too. Also the boat safaris were great."

Mwagusi Safari Camp
"Fantastic location on the Mwagusi river"
2 nights
Arrived
5 Oct 2019
"Fantastic, very comfortable banda with a view on the dry Mwagusi river bed where velvet monkeys and impalas scurried along . In the morning the sight of the red orange sun rising behind the baobab trees was stunning.
The manager was very friendly and helpful.
Our guide was really excellent not only in giving us all sort of information about the animals and their relationship with each other and the the plants but with his trying hard to make us see a leopard, which we eventually saw, quite unexpectedly on our way to the airstrip. The driver was equally excellent. A truly strong emotion."

Kinasi Lodge
"Wonderful location"
3 nights
Arrived
7 Oct 2019
"The room with a sea view was really excellent.
The place offers several activities which might have been exciting if the torrential rains had not spoiled almost everything. We went snorkelling once but could hardly see any fish on the reef because of the weather conditions. We must say we were asked whether we wanted to cancel our boat trip but we didn't, to our disappointment later. The Young instructor with us was really good and tried hard to make the most of our outing.
Unfortunately we were confined to our room most of the time, but it's nobody's fault."
