actually playing with the seals in their home was so relaxing.
certainly recommend this and the trip there round the salt pans was amazing.

Spitzkoppen Lodge
"Spitzkoppen Lodge review"
lovely food but could do with a bit of choice on the menu rather than being 1 option.
limited things to do but 1 night was perfect."

Mowani Mountain Camp
"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
it was cold as the central area is open to the elements. good food and choice.
rosie the guide was great fun, knowledgeable and skilled at finding wildlife. loads to see that was not on the survey and we got so close; 2-3m in some cases.
morning coffee in a dry river bed surrounded by elephants....."
