"A spectacular lodge"
Fritz, who managed the kitchen was superb. The variety and quality of the food was amazing, especially considering how remote the lodge is! And Fritz was just a great guy.
We did not have kids with us but the extra effort we saw the staff provide to keep the little ones occupied and entertained was impressive.
We did the desert elephant excursion with Ronaldo as our guide. He is young and not very experienced. He is a nice young man so will hopefully grow into the role. He did run over a tree limb in the desert resulting in a flat tire. Unfortunately, he did not have a tire iron in the vehicle to loosen the lug nuts so had to call the other guide to help. This delayed us a good 30 minutes and we missed the sunset.
Ensuring you have the proper tools and equipment in the vehicle should be basic guiding knowledge, especially when it comes to repairing a flat tire." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

The team at Doro Nawas were so friendly and treated us to amazing local songs both on arrival and departure (and during dinner on our last night).
Other major highlights of our time here were a successful elephant drive where we were lucky enough to see 8 or 9 desert adapted elephants, followed by sundowners (a truly perfect moment as the sun set on one side of the sky just as the full moon rose on the other) and then a night under the stars.
Really the stuff of dreams." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Doro Nawas review"
Having read the mixed reviews online before our visit, we weren't sure what to expect, but the lodge was amazing, with superb views over the desert/savannah, as well as a pool, and very comfortable cabins.
We enjoyed sleeping outside under the stars.
The food was delicious and one evening was served on the rooftop terrace- so special.
All the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Our guide Stephanus was extremely well informed and not only showed us the desert-adapted elephants we had come to see, but when he heard that one of our group was a big fan of giraffes, took us to another valley to see a small breeding herd."

Although somewhat foreboding on first sight the welcome and friendliness of the staff was second to none. One of the few lodges where guests mingled and shared experiences.
Guiding was excellent and sightings of desert elephants and the dry river ecosystem will be etched in our memory.

They have a wonderful feature that allows you to sleep outside (very comfy beds that roll outside) with plenty of blankets and bush babies (hot water bottles).
The first night we ate on the roof.
Excellent animal watching.
Not enough time to try to pool." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
