1 night Arrived 29 Aug 2017
"Stunning location with the most amazing views. The activities were top class, our guide was excellent.

Disappointed by the quality of the meals and some problems in our room (there was no hot water and they did not solve it), we took our showers in the next room."

"Join Jeanne for this top experience"

3 Sep 2017 • Morning excursion

Everything was perfect, Jeanne was the best guide and host.

Kayaking with the seals was amazing even when they tried to jump on our kayak :-) On the same day, Jeanne sent us some lovely pictures and videos.

All in all a great experience and lots of fun.

"Singing lodge :-)"

2 nights Arrived 4 Sep 2017
"From your arrival until departure, the staff greets you with lovely songs, even for dinner time. They are the best !!

Great excursion to look for desert elephants and memorable bush dinner.

We were given room 13, which unluckily was the one with less privacy and rather noisy (vehicles dropped and picked up clients just behind). They were fully booked, so we could not change room."

"Rhino paradise"

2 nights Arrived 6 Sep 2017
"Amazing views to the waterhole with plenty of activity.

Do not miss the hide, on both nights we were rewarded with black rhino visits. No words can describe the experience of being so close.

Game drives on the reserve were brilliant, we tracked rhino on foot and succeeded in finding a crash of 10 white rhinos on two consecutive days !! A big thanks to our guide.

Request for rooms 1 to 3 for direct views to the waterhole."

"A pity about our guide"

2 nights Arrived 8 Sep 2017
"The tents were the best in Namibia, with direct views to a lovely waterhole, which was regularly visited by a leopard at night.
We were offered a private dinner by the pool for our anniversary , a nice surprise :-) and the food was excellent.

A pity that all this was ruined by our game drive experience which was a complete disaster as the guide was rude and did not show any interest. He didn't even ask in advance about our sundowners drinks, which it is not a problem if you have more than one coke available for a group of four.

He managed to find a cheetah mother with her cubs, but off-road is not allowed on any occasion on their private game reserve, so we could not see them. We reported all this to the lodge."

"Good stopover to/from Etosha"

2 nights Arrived 10 Sep 2017
"We were kindly upgraded to a view room and greatly appreciated a private dinner at the boma. Service was excellent and so was the food.

The activities, in spite of the number of guests, were well organized, but we missed a real wild feeling as all cats we saw were collared,

Self guided walks were a bonus !!"
