Travel reviews by Mr T & Ms J from UK

"This camp was a lovely introduction to our trip.

After the excitment of being met by our Sefofane pilot (Nad) at Windhoek and the flight over the desert and seeing the start of The Fish River we were amazed by how attractive the village looked.

First sundowner and trip to the canyon set the scene for the rest of the trip."

"Wow, what a place. Met with cold wet facetowels and welcoming drinks in such a setting.

The view over the waterhole and the desert from the huge windows in our room was stunning and at night watching the full moon from our bed was some experience.

The staff were so friendly and quickly supplied me with vegetarian lunch. Joining in with the dancing was great fun too. Our guide was so knowledgable which suited this bird lover and he explained the geology of the area (which was obviously his first love) in a way that added to our whole experience."

"We arrived a bit early which caused some confusion but our room was soon ready.

We felt we had entered a Tardis machine as from the outside the building looked quite small but inside the garden with the rooms around it was most attractive and our little apartment up stairs was lovely. It was good to have secure parking off the street.

We were happy with the central location which made visiting the various attractions suggested by the landlady, shopping and eating out at night easy. Thanks to Jeanne our kayaking guide for sending on the photos. Great fun playing with the seals don't know who was enjoying it most, seals or paddlers."

"After a long and dusty drive the outside appearance of the building was disconcerting. The cold towel and the welcoming drinks quickly restored equilibrium and made us apprieciate the excellent camouflaging into the hillside.

Huge lavish room with beds that can be pulled onto the veranda - and this is a tent! Birds, desert elephants stargazing. Thanks to all our guides and friendly staff. Florencia, you are in the right job."

"Slightly difficult to find where to check in coming from Outjo. National Park and camp reception staff were rather austere in contrast to other places.

Other staff were fine. Rooms were slightly small but the waterhole provided great interest and while we were there was very little people noise."

"Arrived to find that our booking had been cancelled ( this had happened to another couple we had met at Okaukeujo also with Wilderness Safari). Luckily they could give us a room suitable for disabled which although adequate did not have the same facilities as the Bush Chalet we had paid for.

Neither Wilderness Safari or Halali took responsibility for the error and no recompense /explaination was offered or made. Also disappointed that no alternative meal was available for vegetarians on the BBQ night, just the salads that everyone else had.

Great waterhole, good morning drive with a nice guide. Thanks for the cosy ponchos.

However we had a great time at Halali."

"What a place most beautiful rooms and public areas. Welcoming and efficient staff. Beautifully presented meals with veggie option.

Not so sure about animals from other areas there, perhaps this is influenced by having just come from Etosha. We used this stop as a rest time and did very little other than a swim. Nice pool. A great place to chill out."

"How many more wows can you have on a holiday! Entering the main reception area was breathtaking. Lovely welcome with iced tea and our program of activities carefully explained.

We were given the new honeymoon suite rather than the bush room and it was amazing. We arrived mid day so were able to have a lovely light lunch and some rest time before the tea and muffins at 4.00pm followed by our game drive to find leopards. Dinner was followed by time at the night hide with the porcupines and then bed. Early start for tea and fresh muffins before cheetah game drive. Dean ,our guide ,was great and showed us so many birds and explained how Africat ran.

We had time for a filling brunch before leaving for the airport.

We had only one night here and my only criticism would be that you had little time to just enjoy being in this beautiful place . Try to have at least two nights."
