Travel reviews by R Family from Alaska

"Very friendly and helpful. Love the grounds at the site. The location was great - easy to walk to town."

"Very pleasant stay here. Staff was very helpful trying to make arrangements for us and confirming reservations.

Easy to walk to town from here.

Kayaking excursion to Pelican Point - I suppose it depends on your past experiences.

We found this trip, hmm, slow and a little boring - but we've done lots of kayaking before. Other people in the group had a great time. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the trip - the outfitter had good boats, life jackets, great relations with the clients - so no problem there, we thought there was a little more to it than just paddling back and forth along the shore."

"We loved our stay at Taleni. The staff was great, the food was wonderful. Access to Etosha from here was easy.

This was a great place to stay. I don't hesitate to recommend it.

It's not like any place else we stayed, it's more like camping, but with great amenities."

"The main thing Halali has going for it is the location in the Park. The watering hole was OK, but bring your own folding chair if you have one.

Seems like it was a great place when it was built, but NWR needs to put some money back into it to bring the Camp back up to par. Front desk was understaffed when most people were trying to check out. Food was mediocre."

"Another wonderful stop. The food and staff were fantastic.

A touch on the luxurious side, which is OK after the dust of Etosha. Mushara and Taleni were our favorite camps.

I would recommend this to anyone."

"Nhoma Camp was the absolute highlight of our trip. We loved it. Not an stop for everyone of course, but for us, it was like being at home.

The accommodations, compared to someplace like Mushara, aren't anywhere near as fancy, but taken as part of our lifestyle and how we like to do experience things, they were perfect. Arno is a superb host and made us feel right at home. The time with the San was wonderful.

If you like to get your hands dirty, meet people, and learn about life with the Bushman, this is the place to go. Our teenaged daughter was a little suspicious about Nhoma before we arrived, but she had a great time also. This is the place to slow down, catch your breath, and learn how the San have survived in an amazing environment."

"In retrospect, we would have preferred an additional day at Nhoma rather than making the stop here. But hindsight is 20/20. The food was spectacular as was the wine list. The sunset drive to look at animals was a waste. Sure, we saw animals.

The rhinos were feeding on the food the lodge puts out for them each afternoon, and anytime other animals were seen, the driver accelerated which merely sent the animals runnings. Dinner was superb, staff was great, but like I said, an additional day at Nhoma would have been better for us.

We could have made the drive from Nhome to Windhoek in a day."

"This is an easy comfortable guest home. Clean, great landscaping, good food and friendly people."
