Kulala Desert Lodge

"Kulala Desert Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 28 Aug 2007
"For a top class establishment the dining room felt like a school dining room with unsmiling staff who hardly acknowledged your presence.

The manager welcomed us but the whole place aeemed to treatits guests in an off-hand manner.
The guides were good and friendly.

The ballooning was just magical! The balloonist was really experienced and looked just like Crocodile Dundee.

He landed the basket neatly on the back of the trailer and then we had the most amazing breakfast with champagne."

The Stiltz

The Stiltz

"The Stiltz review"

2 nights Arrived 30 Aug 2007
"A lovely place to stay but better to drive than to walk to town at night.

The restaurant they recommended on our first evening 'De Keller' was a big disappointment.

Sandwich Harbour excursion with Turnstone Tours - A very knowledgeable guide who took us into remote country with complete confidence and really knew the country and the wildlife.

He identified numerous birds and showed us sand creatures with a quick scoop of his hand."

"Halali Restcamp review"

2 nights Arrived 5 Sep 2007
"This was an excellent place to stay to see the wildlife in the park as it is in the middle giving access to all areas.

The new refurbishment is a great success but the lighting in the room was poor."
