"Doro Nawas review"
"Beautiful people"
Room was superb and we were able to roll our bed outside so we could sleep under the stars.
One night dinner was a BBQ served out in the desert, a magnificent setting.
Good wine anything we wanted was of no problem and the singing was great." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Doro Nawas review"
One excellent guide - Moses - who took us on a drive to see the elephants.
Our second guide - Stephanus - who took us for a nature walk was not so good and hence the walk was a bit disappointing.
Good food and good views from the main lodge - lovely swimming pool." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Doro Nawas review"
Our guide was Nesley and we were fortunate to be his only guests when we took the morning drive to see the desert elephants. We spent a long time viewing them with nobody else around. He made it clear that he loved his job and felt privileged to be doing it. He knew so much about the birds and plant life too and took us to see a farm which had successfully produced a wonderful vegetable crop. He was also very proficient when explaining what Doro Nawas was putting back into the community. He really was very generous in talking about his family and the challenges facing farmers in Namibia.
We also took a trip to see the rock art at Twyfelfontein. It was fascinating, but perhaps a little rushed as they were anxious to close promptly. The Organ Pipes were worth seeing on the way back. The geology of the area is a real plus." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Didn't want to leave!"
Wonderful chalet with outdoor shower and massive bed that we rolled out onto the veranda to sleep under tthe stars. Highlights were the staff singing after dinner, click language spoken by some, desert elephant trip with Reggie as guide ealy morning, views from the lodge. Expensive option but lasting memories - wonderful.
Our mistake- we were a little short of petrol so decided not to drive to the rock paintings, which was a shame but a reason to return" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
