Travel reviews by Mr and Mrs A from UK

"Lovely hotel with amazing grounds."

"Amazing Hotel. Beautiful views of the bay.

Whale watching trip (season dependant) was fantastic.

Good local restaurants."

"Fantastic hotel. Good restaurant options.

Check where kids can eat if travelling with children as a little complex."

"Absolutely fantastic! The safari was incredible and all the staff were great.

We couldn’t recommend Kwandwe more for families."

"A great small lodge to start our trip. A very relaxed environment."

"Zebra River Lodge was one of our favourite lodges on the trip. The view across the valley from our room was fantastic.

All the staff at the lodge were very helpful and created a very welcoming atmosphere."

"Dessert Homestead was a pleasant place to stay with a magnificent view from every room. The location was convenient for visiting Sossusvlei.

We opted to do the trip to Sossusvlei ourselves as we felt the trip run by the lodge was expensive. Doing the trip ourselves was fine and very easy to do... the shuttle for the last 4x4 5km was regular and worked out well."

"Sam's Giardino was an enjoyable and comfortable place to stay. The environment was relaxed, and Sam was very welcoming. The free internet was a bonus!

On our first night we had the 5 course dinner which we felt was a little over priced for the quality of food."

"Grootberg Lodge was our favourite lodge of the trip! The location was magnificent, the staff were very relaxed and friendly and the food was some of the best we had in Namibia. They even provided evening entertainmnet singing namibian songs after dinner.

We opted to do the Elephant Tracking Trip,which was really good, the guides locating elephants from a footprint in the road! We were also able to see some local villages."

"Arriving at Okaukujo was a bit of a shock as the resort is pretty bleak... although this was more than made up by the incredible number of animals at the water hole....

The food at Okaukujo was a buffet which meant you had some choice and was generally ok."

"Halali Rest Camp was a generally disappointing experience. The staff were rude and made us feel very unwelcome.... every time we asked for anything (i.e. a drink in the bar) it was as if we were putting them out..

The evening menu remained the same both nights, and was an excessive amount of meat (Game or Pork) served in a griddle such that all of the accompanying vegetables with bathed in fat...

We paid to do the night drive, and our guide seemed to lose interest within 10 minutes of leaving the lodge, providing little enthusiasm or explanation."

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge was a great place to finish out trip. The staff were really friendly and interesting to talk to about namibia. The food was good with a varied selection both nights.

We opted to not go on a guided walk instead choosing to go on one of the excellently way marked walks offered from the lodge and visiting Omaruru an interesting town about 20minutes drive away.

The tented rooms were a bit cold overnight."
