My Sep 2024 trip
Namibia between 28 Sep 2024 and 12 Oct 2024
The guidebook you kindly sent us was excellent and in the locations and lodges you recommended was well chosen and as per the advertised experience.
In hindsight, we could have chosen slightly lower key/cheaper lodges.
Saying that, we really enjoyed excellent food and beautiful rooms and facilities everywhere.
So we got our money's worth."

BullsPort Lodge and Farm
"BullsPort Lodge and Farm review"
We tried quite a few of their local walks. The highlight was the trip (by vehicle) that we took into the Naukluft park with walk down the riverbed. Very knowledgeable guide.
The accommodation was very good. They made use of a lot of local food (where possible) and made their own cottage chese and breads.
Considering the price of this stop over, you got more than your money's worth
We did not feel like hotel guests but instead felt at home. What a pleasure!"

The Delight
"The Delight review"
Garden courtyard was lovely.
Location is very good and close restaurants and a lovely walk along the coast."

Mowani Mountain Camp
"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
They have a lovely water feature just at the edge of the lounge area - a delight to watch birds and dassies feeding and interacting.
They arrange sunset drinks where you can just sit and relax with the most beautiful view. Conveniently close the Twyfelfontein.
We followed their short marked footpath around the lodge. We felt that they can extend this to longer walks."

Etosha Oberland Lodge
"Etosha Oberland Lodge review"
The lounge and pool area was made special by wildlife visiting the waterhole.
Sitting on the decking area for dinner and sundown is definately a highlight of this lodge.
Food was top class and the rooms well layout out and thoughtful with regards to plugs and light switches."

Okonjima Plains Camp
"Okonjima Plains Camp review"
It was quite busy but run very smoothly to handle the different needs of the visitors. They have a number of guided walks. We did 2 of them - very well marked and quite challenging on rocky terrain. We loved this.
The rooms where such that you could enjoy the wildlife feeding and passing by on the way to the waterhole from your veranda. A very relaxing atmoshpere.
We took a packed breakfast as we had to leave early for the airport. A brown paper bag packed with goodies!"

We had an evening meal at their restaurant which was good."
