Travel reviews by Mr C & Mrs A from UK

"Excellent. Very helpful staff. Perfect food and beautiful room and situation

5* plus accommodation and would recommend to anyone"

"Grey and lacking character. Room bare with no curtains and creaky laminate floor. Breakfast adequate and room had pleasant views.
Manager/owner was rather untidy and scruffy
Parking not easy and help needed to open gates
Nearby Harbour Vue guest house appeared to be much better and was confirmed by people we met
We would suggest you use other options in the future"

"Very adequate for short overnight stay"

"We really only needed a one night stop as there was little to do unless you are in to horses. Scenery not great for walks.

Strong Germanic influence and we were the only Brits there which was somewhat unpleasant at meal times as German was main language spoken so we felt left out. Hostess did make some efforts to help but had to concentrate on others

Dinner food was excellent but breakfast very Germanic"

"Having travelled a long way on gravel roads you are confronted by a even worse challenge which needs a 4 x 4 vehicle!

So called option of sleeping upstairs on the roof was not catered for.
Best point was location for access to dunes area but debate if worth it overall
In need of improvement

PLEASE NOTE. Trip to Soussevei sand dunes was quite amazing. The guide was excellent and the trip was excellent value lasting 6 hours and more.

Hot air ballooning in the Sossusvlei area booked with Expert Africa - rating = poor
Good experience but most disappointing part of trip, Lack of sights on trip and no sooner in air than pilot concerned about the landing point. Think this is not a good venue for a balloom trip as you do not see the dunes or any wild life on it. Breakfast was a most enjoyable experience."

"Excellent food with friendly staff in good position

Day trip to Sandwich Harbour booked with Expert Africa - excellent
Good guide and most enjoyable trip in the dunes and on the coast."

"Advertised telescope for star gazing did not exist!

Typical Wilderness Safari camp which are in need of improvement. However, better than Kuala Lodge
Interesting trip to Living Museum of Damara people"

"Location excellent but paid considerably more for waterhole villa. The best waterhole we visited in Etosha.

Communal dining facility was not very good and nor was the food served in it. This really was incidental to the overall experience."

"Excellent camp with first class food and environment
Pleasantly relaxing by their water hole.

Some people we got to know stayed at one of the other Onguma camps and were very dissatisfied to the point of leaving a day early."

"Food was outstanding. The dining area was superb, 3 safaris a day which were all excellent except for the night safari for which we paid extra and felt the guide really did not want to do it.

The safaris were a bit false because of what the camp is all about. The walking safari was really superb with good guide."

"See previous"

"K was by far the best guide of all our trip. Thoroughly enjoyed every minuite of our 3 days here.

Our first genuine safari and being in the delta enjoyed the boating aspect of the trip. Would recommend this venue to others."

"Food and hospitality were outstanding but very lacking in game and from this aspect was very disappointing.

However we enjoyed our stay here."

"Was lovely being situated by Zambezi. Lodges in need of refurbishment as bit scruffy and gave the impression of being dirty as for example the bed cover where it should have been white was grey as old and the Mossy net was yellowed did not fit well and generally tatty.

We found it of no great benefit having our personal valet and felt that this job had been created so we would have to tip him generously. Pool needed refurbishing. Breakfast and dinner were good but lunch was outstanding"
