2 nights Arrived 23 May 2015
"We had a delightful experience.

The combination of unique location, excellent cuisine and simply fantastic guiding by "Tafi" made this one of our very best experiences. Tafi was very helpful over a misunderstanding and a determined, dedicated guide.

Well done to management and staff alike." See all these reviews: 28n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

The view was amazing, even from the bathroom." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana

"Camp Kipwe review"

2 nights Arrived 3 Sep 2014
"We drove from Swakopmund and stopped at Uis. We found it concerning that the only garage there had no petrol and indeed were not expecting a delivery for 2 days. Fortunately we had enough for our journey, had just wanted to top-up as recommended. We found an excellent coffee shop there ?Cactus Coffee at the end of the village.

Camp Kipwe was excellent in every respect - just one small detail, a fridge in the room would be an improvement to keep water in - only place we didn't have one (sole reason why facilities rated as average).

The desert elephant trip was a highlight - not to be missed. Our guide Taffy was very knowledgeable." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Wow! What a place!"

2 nights Arrived 31 Jul 2014
"We LOVED this place. The 'rooms' are so cleverly constructed and very private and comfortable. The food was of a very high standard with a choice of main.

The sundowner terrace was beautiful and the food and drink we were served made it very special. We did a morning game drive and the visit to the rock carvings in the afternoon and both were very worthwhile. Tafi the gui9de was especially knowledgeable about the animals and the area."

"Camp Kipwe review"

3 nights Arrived 31 Jul 2014
"Remarkable setting. Desert adapted elephants crossed the road in front of us 500m from the camp turn off. The rooms were remarkable but not as spectacular as the very outdoor shower and loo!

If you love lizards Kipwe is for you with multicoloured agamas strutting their stuff and geckos hanging out round the bathroom mirror. Sundowner setting great and food lovely. Worth going on guided game drive as being surrounded by the rare desert adapted elephants is a magical experience.

We spent 3 nights here and easily occupied our time with trips to ancient rock carvings and the Damara living museum." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
