"All well planned, helpful preparation discussions with Sabina.

Only minor detail that went wrong was advice to shop in Keetmanhoop before entering South Africa through the Mata Mata gate only to have nearly all our food and firewood confiscated by SA Customs."

Kanaan Desert Retreat

Kanaan Desert Retreat

"Kanaan Desert Retreat review"

1 night Arrived 29 Aug 2022
"A bit far off the route for an overnight stop.

Poor briefing, no water in rooms, no hot water flasks as promised, access paths a bit too rough. Cabin views were fabulous.
Just felt overall like a new venture not quite settled down."
