Travel reviews by A, D, & M from Boston, USA

"What a beautiful, unique and well managed lodge!

The entire staff (Eddy, Beer, Mojo, and Shirly) and the managers (Shirley and Kevin) were incredibly attentive, friendly, and kind. They went above and beyond making our stay special and memorable. Every meal was truly exceptional, and the chef (Bea) was simply the sweetest.

The accommodations were comfortable and classy, offering 5-star luxuries deep in the wilderness. As for their famed water hole, it provided unforgettable daily, near-constant sightings of beautiful wildlife, particularly the many large herds of elephants drinking, bathing, playing and rolling in the water. We highly recommend skipping at least one evening game drive to experience the stunning sunset setting at the camp.

The majestic elephant and tree silhouettes against amber red skies are not to be missed."

"Comfortable, clean, great service with caring and helpful staff.

Overall, a great base for exploring Victoria Falls.

Would definitely stay there again!"

"We stayed at Elegant Guesthouse the first and last night of the trip.

It's convenient, easy to get to from the airport, comfortable, and close to restaurants and shopping area to help get ready for the drive."

"Wonderful lodge and staff! Beautiful setting and comfortable rooms with wonderful views.

We did the sundowner on horseback and enjoyed every moment!

We also went to Sossusvlei with their guide and were so glad that we did! We climbed Big Daddy, had wonderful lunch, and finished the day at the Sesriem Canyon.
The guide was very patient and never rushed us when we stopped for photos."

"Clean and cozy guesthouse, excellent location, and the service was above and beyond!!"

"Probably one of the most beautiful lodge settings we've seen! Staff was excellent and food delicious.

We did a self-walking trail, which I highly recommend, and a visit to the San Bushmen Living Museum with a guide. Absolutely amazing experience!! The only regret was that we stayed for only 1 night."

"This was one of our favorite lodges in Namibia!

Convenient location to Etosha, very comfortable tent that felt more like a lodge, amazing staff, and delicious food!

Did a guided tour to Etosha with Ute, who was absolutely amazing!! Highly recommend!!"

"Convenient lodge with a floodlit waterhole. The family chalet was big and clean.

Waterhole was a little slow when we stayed there, but few animals did stop by.

Enjoyed our night at the lodge!"

"One of our favorite lodges!

Absolutely loved the setting, room with outdoor shower and bathroom, excellent staff that went above and beyond to make us comfortable, and delicious food.

We did 2 guided tours. One was desert adapted elephant tracking. The guide was excellent and we saw 8 elephants.
The second was to see the rock paintings, which was great as well."

"Absolutely loved this place! First night we had the View room and saw a bunch of animals close to the lodge. My husband looked out at 3 am and saw a giraffe right outside the window.

Then we did a last moment splurge for a one night stay in a beautiful Okonjima Villa in the wilderness. No real fences, no barriers... We were the only guests and, other than a hostess, chef, and a caretaker, we were far away from civilization. There are no lions on the reserve, but plenty of leopards, so not allowed outside after dark. Staff was already nearby to attend to anything we needed. Loved every moment there...

For tours, we did a leopard tracking with a guide a came across a big male leopard right after a kill.

We also did a rhino tracking on foot with the guide and 2 rangers. They tracked 4 male white rhinos which we were able to observe for about 30 min.

Both guided tours were incredible experience and we felt safe at all times."

"Comfortable, clean, and convenient place for the start of end of the trip."
