Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs S from Surrey

"Friendly welcome. Clean and spacious. Taxi organised for evening trip to and from Windhoek. Excellent breakfast."

"Excellent, friendly welcome with chilled drinks and towels after lengthy drive. Superb location, excellent sunset and stars.

Food and service efficient, friendly and first class. Welcome drinks and snacks for our companions' anniversary very well received. Toiletries excellent! Bed rolls on roof to sleep under stars magical experience, comfortable and warm. Very accommodating with early wake up and breakfast before our trip to Sossosvlei. Lovely place to stay.

Some difficulty paying with card and time taken making up bill delayed early departure."

"Welome and briefing by Uska our guide. He was friendly, helpful and informative. His personality and sense of humour enhanced our visit.

Accommodation was superb, spacious, luxurious and pristine. Food was generous and first class, beautifully prepared and presented. All day drive with Uska was a pleasure. He explained all aspects of the landscape, flora and fauna...not to mention the fairy circles! we saw giraffes and kudu as well as the more prolific oryx, ostrich, springbok etc. Lunch was delicious and he was an entertaining companion. Uska's sundowner drive was a highlight of our trip for location, ambience and company.

Dining with other guests was most enjoyable. Dining area is warm, welcoming and beautifully presented. Special mention to Andy Smith and his delivery of the menu in Click language with his special brand of humour. An excellent visit all round.

Absolutely brilliant packed lunches for our trip....excellent, different class."

"Superb! A real treat, Sam is a character and made us so welcome. Swakupmund may have been wet and cold but Sam's Giardino was warm and welcoming. Wine tasting with Sam was entertaining and educational.....we went on to sample several of the bottles from his cellar during our stay.

The first night we had dinner in the "cave" which was cosy and intimate. Dinner was delicious and service excellent. Very comfortable rooms overlooking the garden. Excellent breakfasts with vast array of cereals, preserves, bread etc. and fantastic cooked breakfast to start the day's activities. Beethoven was a hit with our party.

Excellent choice for a stay by the sea and so close to town."

"Lovely location, accommodation adequate but sadly lacking in any ambience.

Staff did not seem to be managed in any way and there was no organisation as such. Dinner was ok but only one person seemed to serve many guests....a bit like a school dining hall. We left before dessert as there was little atmosphere and had a drink back at our chalets.

Management issue, not staff."

"We loved it! Superb location, game drive to track desert elephants and sundowner with Ignatius were memorable! Accommodation excellent. Outside shower choice and beds which can be rolled out under the stars......fantastic. Very spacious accommodation, excellent bathrooms all first rate and well designed, very comfortable.

Food excellent and a highlight was being entertained by staff after dinner."

"Really liked it here. Quiet, loved the rooms especially tin bath and CD reflectors on lights!

All very welcoming."

"Excellent accommodation, more hotel than camp in style. Food very good, staff friendly and helpful as in all camps.

Swimming pool freezing but we did enjoy a dip after game viewing!

Beds and linen luxurious!"

"Magnificent setting! Brilliant camp/ back to nature!

Drive into the camp beats any fairground ride! Food superb. Guided walk informative and very enjoyable. Fantastic views from summit, excellent guide. Attention by staff was superb.

Private anniversary dinner for our companions was quite remarkable and made it a very special occasion and stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here."
