"Roy's Restcamp review"
"Roy's for good vibe and bush babies"
Accommodation was fine, staff were great, food was good and the whole place had a very cool vibe.
It was also the only place in Namibia where we saw bush babies so worth staying there for that alone. We would be quite happy to stay there again." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Squirrels in the cornflakes"
Our room was a bit shabby, not entirely clean, with holes in the sheets. The food was less tasty - tinned carrots with lots of sugar added come to mind.
At breakfast, squirrels were diving in the cornflakes. However, because of its strategic location on the highway it may be OK as a stopover for one night.
There were no activities as far as we noticed (but we did not mind)." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana
"querky camp handy for overnight stay"
Fairly basic and querky cabins which have single beds, and odd furnishings.
We liked this restcamp for an overnight stay and enjoyed some of the walks around the grounds.
Everything was clean and well provided, Service was fine, but without polish." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

An interesting hide for viewing game." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 7n in Zimbabwe; 3n in Botswana
"Quirky but comfortable stay at Roy's camp"
Loved the waterhole viewing hide. Lots of animals arrived at sunset.
Evening dinner was very tasty. Very reasonably priced drinks.
Breakfast pack was terrible - included more sweets/lollies than I have had in years! No fruit, greasy toasted sandwich. This needs a complete overhaul!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
"Amusing and convenient stopover."
The food was tasty but no choice.
As we had to make a very early start the next morning we requested breakfast packs. These too proved to be as quirky as the accommodation, comprising of sweets, savoury snacks and more sweets - and a small sandwich!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Basic accommodation, yet quirky & comfy."
The dinner was fine and we enjoyed using the hide overlooking the waterhole which attracted ostriches and eland. The compound included a swimming pool and good camping area and the birdlife was varied.
As we had a long drive the next day we ordered packed breakfasts to eat en route. Unfortunately these were terrible, consisting of one soggy ham and cheese toast and lots of sweet things (lollies etc) which we were unable to eat."
