"Hugely interesting"

"Doro Nawas review"
Welcomed by Bennie with cold towels and drinks followed by 3rd degree health & safety from Agnes. Good salad for lunch. Shown to huge beautiful, gloriously cool room.
We dashed to Twyfelfontein to see Bushman engravings, well worth a visit. Cost us N$160 (Lodge charge N$1000+). Good dinner.
Early start, lovely breakfast as sun rose. Collected by guide Gift in very ancient, noisy, enclosed Land Rover. Needs renewing considering the price of Lodge & Game Drive. Wonderful exhilarating morning with herd of Desert Elephants. Returned to most delicious beef salad.
A great place, would have liked two nights rather than one." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Luxurious accommodations with 360 views"
The guides here were also fantastic, and the service staff were friendly and helpful. We had an east-facing room so we enjoyed stunning sunrises (and rainbows!) every morning from our beds.
We would definitely return to Doro !Nawas in the future.
Tip: The Elephant Safari is highly recommended!" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Unique place"
The setting is gorgeous and we had great sunsets seen from the verandah, excellent food and a lot of fun with the local Damara staff who were most attentive. We did however find it rather expensive for what it offers and N$800pp is over the top for a game drive especially as we did not see any elephants or other exciting game.
It was very hot when we stayed at the end of January, 45 degrees with a hot wind, and A/C would have been very welcome. One night would have been enough for us." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
"Doro Nawas review"
My wife slipped badly in the outdoor shower.
The floor gets very dangerous when wet." See all these reviews: 3n in Namibia
"Amazing place to stay for Christmas"
Everything about the accommodation was amazing - outdoor shower looking out over the desert, beds that can wheel outside.
The main building really was special, built around the crest of a hill, with access to the roof (where we had Christmas Dinner at sunset - the most spectacular I have ever seen). The pool was small but perfectly formed with wonderful views out across the desert and mountains, our kids spent 2 very happy afternoons there.
We went on their Desert Adapted Elephant safari which was great - found a family of elephants with a baby and followed them for a couple of hours. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the safari great fun.
This was a really, really special place to stay." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Doro Nawas - a really lovely camp"
We had a very good morning game drive to find desert adapted elephants and drove ourselves to see the rock engravings and organ pipes.
One highlight was the impromptu (or so it seemed) singing by the staff at the end of the meal on our second night." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Doro Nawas review"
The introduction to the lodge was poor, with no mention of any possible activities offered by the lodge, no real time spent showing the lodge / room and the free refillable drinks bottles were not mentioned to us, we found them on a table near to the restaurant with our names on.
The service for the restaurant improved with staff being more helpful and friendly." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Doro Nawas review"
The elephant spotting is pretty sure it seems, and rewarding. In quality and service, although a whisker down on its sister Desert Rhino Camp, still excellent.
What was amazing was the change in scenery that took place about 15 kms before Noro Nawas, coming from DRC." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
