Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs E from Morden

"Lovely quiet & clean B&B not far from Joe's. Good service and relaxed feel. Nothing special but would happily stay here again."

"We absolutely loved Betesda. It had a fantastic feel about it, very relaxed and friendly. Activities if you wanted them. We only did the sundowner trip but it was great - the guide was brilliant. (Website says you can go horseriding but they don't do it any more).

We got caught out with the solar water heating that meant the shower on the first night was cold. The second night we were camping and the showers were great and you still get access to all the facilities."

"We couldn't recommend this enough.

Benny and his family gave us the warmest welcome and within 5 minutes all our activities were booked, dinner reservations made and tea served.

Sea Breeze is slightly out of town, but that's what we were looking for and as long as you're happy with that you couldn't find a fault. We'd not think of staying anywhere else in Swakopmund."

"Camping at Okaukuejo was great, the waterhole brilliant and the facilities easy to find.

We were in one of the newer camping spots which didn't have the advantage of a well grown tree (i.e. not picturesque) but we were either at the waterhole, pool or driving through the park so this didn't matter to us."

"Camping at Namutoni didn't seem as well organised as Okaukuejo, we didn't have a pitch assigned to us per say. We just had to park in a specific area and others were already there (as we were in close to sunset) and they'd spaced themselves rather generously so we were rather squeezed in and didn't have the braai facilities to ourselves like at Okaukuejo.

The waterhole itself is disappointing but Namutoni looks great (more grass in the campsite and the lodges must be amazing). The advantage is how close you are to waterholes outside the park for early morning starts or late finishes."

"Brilliant. The staff were so friendly and the way funds are pumped back into the local village is amazing."

"We loved the fact that the bulk of our bucks went to the polers themselves. We spent a night in a chalet on either side of a two night wild camping trip on a mokoro.

Our guide Kim was absolutely brilliant and the wild camping was just amazing - both relaxing and filled with learning about the delta. The service at the camp itself was not a polished tourist act, but pleasant none the less (we were left not knowing what we were doing a couple of times, but we weren't in a hurry).

The food was good, you don't really get a choice of what to eat if you do want cooked food for dinner but what we got was good. Breakfast was good."

"We were ferried out to the lodge by boat and we felt like we were on a Bond film set the way we twisted and turned through the reeds.

The service was brilliant, the staff friendly, the facilities excellent and just all in all it had all the options you could want for a relaxing time.

The setting of the lodge and its suroundings are stunning."

"The lodge is very touristy, which is fair enough and you either like it or not. And everything else falls in line with the fact that it is very toursity.

You get your bigger tour groups and the activities are for larger numbers than other places. However, we were glad to not be the ones driving through the park on rather sandy roads jostling for position and grateful we had a guide driving us round (the use of radios between cars also meant we saw leopard which we may have missed ourselves)."

"Perfectly located on the river with the Safpar activity centre on site.

The ease of being able to organise transfers to Zimbabwe and taxi's to the falls + any activities made it a hassle free experience. The Waterfront caters for all budgets and so has its fair share of tour groups and independant travellers.

Very pleasant stay overall and we highly recommend the Livingstone Island trip."
