Etendeka Mountain Camp

"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 16 Jul 2013
"Better than expected. We saw amazing wildlife, including a pride of 7 lion, an Aardwolf, a black mongoose, black rhino and large herds of Eliphant, giraffe, zebra and antelope.

Dennis is a great chap but a bit of an eyore, he has more at Etendeka than he is really willing to use or let on about."

Halali Camp

Halali Camp

"Halali Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 20 Jul 2013
"Run by the government company as a model of inefficiency. I just wanted to get hold of them and shake them firmly.

It could be soooo much better with a bit of imagination and oomph, as it has so much to offer."

"Desert Rhino Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 29 Jul 2010
"Stunning location, some of the best food we have had in Africa (how they do it in the middle of nowhere goodness only knows) and 7 Rhinos, one leopard and a honey badger plus lots more.

3 days would be better as then you could cover the three areas they go out to in rotation."

Waterberg Plateau Lodge

Waterberg Plateau Lodge

"Waterberg Plateau Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 6 Aug 2010
"The Plateau Lodge was just finishing a new restaurant, which will be stunning. It is perched up on the rocks with views across the plain. It means that people staying there would no longer need to go to the main Wilderness Lodge to eat, but it would be a pity to miss out on going to see the main lodge as the setting is stunning and the short walks around the head of the valley are lovely.

We were dissapointed that the access to the plateau was no better than from the government's resort camp. we would like to find a way to go camping across the plateau for a few nights without having to take a whole lot of gear out with us."

Guludo Beach Lodge

Guludo Beach Lodge

"Guludo Beach Lodge review"

7 nights Arrived 11 Aug 2010
"Just amazing as a place and a concept. Even the website, which is good, does not do it justice.

The diving disappointed though. We were the first PADI course that the instructor had done there and he was not really set up for it. Only 2 of the 5 of us stayed the course and he really frightened Vanessa and got me badly sunburned due to taking the wrong wet suit out on the boat. Some of the dive gear is quite tired.

There is no confined water (pool) for the first 2 dives and so they do it off the beach. It was quite windy and rough and the tides were strong so it really was not ideal. It would be better to tell people to do the confined water stuff in their local pool before going out ( the people who followed us were having the same trouble) and I have mentioned this to Neil.

To be fair they only charged us for 2 courses and 3 discovery dives, which we paid locally. I assume the diving was not included in the bill we paid you. Perhaps you could confirm.

We went by road and came out by plane and enjoyed both, though the plane arrangements are a bit flakey and we had to travel seperately."
