Travel reviews by Ms C. from Switzerland

"The Weinberg Hotel is a very good hotel (friendly and accommodating staff; good infrastructure; quiet).

The hotel restaurant (I had my evening meal there) could be more varied."

"I very much enjoyed my stay at Doro Nawas.

The staff were invariably friendly and accommodating; the activities were varied and led by expert guides.

The landscape of Damaraland is breathtaking in itself, and from the lodge you may enjoy the views across the countryside. -"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the three-day walk.

We were a group of five travellers and had an expert guide (plus a back-up team of three). While the focus was not so much on actually finding wildlife (although we did see giraffes and zebras), the guide showed us how to read and interpret tracks (and other left-overs), which was fascinating.

Our guide also explained the geology and the indigenous flora and fauna. He was invariably friendly and supportive.

The overall organisation (pick-up, transport of luggage, food) was top-notch!

This walk comes highly recommended."

"Ongava Tented Camp was another highlight.

I loved the fact that it's unfenced and in the middle of the wilderness, with animals coming to the waterhole day and night.

The staff were invariably friendly and attentive.

The guide for the drives was excellent, tracking and finding a wealth of animals and then adding information about them.

I also did a full-day drive through Etosha from here, which was fantastic."

"We used the lodge as a base coming out of Etosha.

I liked the airy feel about it."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Nhoma Camp.

Despite the temperatures being hot, the camp has an airy, peaceful and comfortable feel about it. The owners of the camp were very welcoming, and the staff were highly attentive. I enjoyed the activities with the Ju|'hoan San people, and very much appreciated the varied nature of the activities that were included.

Among other things, we did a "hunting walk" and were introduced to fire-making, finding and digging out roots and preparing traps. Being out in nature with the three hunters and a Ju|'hoan San guide (plus my own guide) felt surprisingly easy and natural.

This camp was one of the highlights of my itinerary."

"A great place to stay and enjoy the views across the Namib Desert.

All staff are very welcoming and accommodating."
