Kulala Desert Lodge

Kulala Desert Lodge

"Kulala Desert Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 15 Sep 2023
"Beautiful rooms with the option to sleep out on the roof to star gaze, which we did during our stay.

All the staff were very welcoming and the food was great.

We took part in the trip to the desert in the morning and a more general drive in the afternoon. Both were with the same guide, who was very knowledgable, and same group of other guests which made it feel very sociable.

Would definitely recommend."

Kayaking with seals

Kayaking with seals

"Kayaking with seals review"

18 Sep 2023 • Morning excursion

Drive out to the kayaking location was very informative and had some good bird sightings.

Seals didn’t come as close to our group as some others seem to have experienced on previous trips but still had a good time.
Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani Mountain Camp

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 19 Sep 2023
"Lovely rooms with an absolutely stunning view. Staff were very helpful and food was lovely.

We went on a trip to find the desert elephants which was one of the highlights of our trip.

Was probably the most crowded trip of our holiday in terms of the number of cars round the elephants but the herd was large and didn’t effect our enjoyment of the activity."

Safarihoek Lodge

Safarihoek Lodge

"Safarihoek Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 21 Sep 2023
"Good rooms with a nice view out over the reserve. Could view a waterhole through binoculars from the balcony.

Went out on 3 drives over a day and a half with a very knowledgable guide. Saw alot of general game, a couple of black rhino but the highlight was a group of 7 lions which we were able to follow for a while.

Because you are on a private reserve with a guide driving, you could leave the road and get closer to the wildlife than at Etosha."

Okaukuejo Camp

Okaukuejo Camp

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 23 Sep 2023
"This lodge was probably the one disappointment in our stay in Namibia.

The room was very tired, food was not great and the staff seemed apathetic. Location in the park was useful and there was many watering holes to visit with the freedom to drive ourselves.

However you are limited to the roads so it is largely down to luck at what is nearby.

None of the wildlife experiences we had here ranked amongst the top of our trip"

Okonjima Bush Camp

Okonjima Bush Camp

"Okonjima Bush Camp review"

1 night Arrived 25 Sep 2023
"We were upgraded from the Plains Camp to the Bush Camp, which was amazing. Room, food and staff were all great.

We did 2 activities; the leopard drive and the rhino tracking both of which were successful and got us surprisingly close to the animals. The rhino tracking in particular was one of the highlights of our trip.

Wish we had stayed 2 nights rather than 1 as we had to pack in the activities and didn’t have time to enjoy the actual camp as much as we could have."
