"Fabulous holiday which exceeded expectations
Tom was fantastic in setting up
Think to improve some hints on where to stop on the long drives would be nice"

"Lovely waterhole and great rooms. Design amazing.
Guide ( Francis)was excellent. Only thing let it down was manager very functional/ lacked warmth.
Actual reserve was disappointing although national park was close and great"

Feedback response
We often include Ai Aiba in our itineraries to break the drive back to Windhoek before a flight home. It is on the more rustic side of the lodges we feature but staying here usually offers more than time in Windhoek and we are sorry it wasn't the right fit for these guests and this itinerary.
