"What a country! It felt like reading a really good book - each page was exciting.When we got to the end we wanted to re-read it and savour it more."

Haus Sonneneck

"Great place to start your trip"

1 night Arrived 30 Sep 2012
"Welcoming and comfortable. Delightful gardens. Lovely breakfast.

The only downside was that it cost £20 (return) to take a taxi to anywhere within Windhoek (to eat, to pick up the car)."

Desert Homestead

Desert Homestead

"Fab location"

3 nights Arrived 1 Oct 2012
"The staff were helpful and pleasant. It was initally a bit confusing as staff seemed to do everything ie we weren't sure if it was the manager who carried our bag; our Soussusvlei trip guide brought our food one night. It might be useful if this was mentioned in the welcome ie 'all of us do everything here so don't be surprised if....'

The Soussesvlei guide, Vilo, was excellent.

I'm afraid the stereotype of Germans bagging the sunbeds all day with towels was confirmed! Get in quick if you're planning a lazy spell by the pool.

The bathrooms didn't bother us - you can always go outside."

Twyfelfontein Country Lodge

Twyfelfontein Country Lodge

"Three nights possibly too long"

3 nights Arrived 6 Oct 2012
"Service was a little impersonal but that wasn't an issue at all. The staff singing after the meal was excellent - they were talented and clearly enjoyed it too.

It would be really useful if there was more information on the trips offered. We were interested in desert elephants but when we asked, the staff member said it was 50-50 as to whether you saw them so we didn't sign up. They were not at all encouraging. We subsequently found out that people saw them each time. A record of what and when would have helped our decision - we were very disappointed we made the wrong decision."

Okaukuejo Camp

Okaukuejo Camp

"Best waterhole"

2 nights Arrived 9 Oct 2012
"The camp is a bit like a small commuter town but the waterhole is superb and very easy to reach. It's worth going any time of day. This is what we came for and were not disappointed at all.

The food was fine and staff worked really hard to keep up with the buffet. Some guests behaved pretty badly, grabbing food and plates."

"fabulous camp"

The waterhole could be a bit of a walk for some people."
