Doro Nawas–The Most Special Lodge!
We were initially hoping to stay at Camp Kimpwe, which we had heard so much about and were disappointed when it was not available, but could not have been happier that we ended up at Doro Nawas instead! It is such an incredible place! The desert of Namibia is stark and harsh and strikingly beautiful and as you drive up to this unique property you will be blown away. It is like a fortress on a hill giving stunning views of the distant mountains and the desert landscape.
You are welcomed by the most wonderful staff in the world–I believe Doro Nawas provided the best service of any hotel I have every stayed at. The lovely team welcomes you with beautiful singing that had me grinning from ear to ear! Every single person is so talented. You will get to enjoy their beautiful, local music during dinners as well and I cannot tell you how special it was. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
The rooms are absolutely beautiful, with comfortable beds and huge balconies which you can roll your bed out onto. We slept underneath the star-filled sky both nights. There were no bugs at all and it was the most magical experience. The pool area is lovely and you have such a nice view to enjoy. The chef does an incredible job and every meal prepared was wonderful. They do bush dinners several nights a week and this was a truly special experience! They were able to cater to my vegetarian needs and every dish was wonderful. We were able to see the desert elephants on our excursion and got to spend quite a lot of time enjoying them and our guide was wonderful about giving us photographers different angles.
I cannot recommend this lodge highly enough. Every staff member seems to truly enjoy their job and care about the guests and this creates the warmest, most welcoming environment for anyone lucky enough to stay here!

An excellent lodge. Staff extremely pleasant - sang for us each night after dinner.
A key singer was the waitress Sammie, who had been on a tour to Switzerland with her choir.
The menus were explained in English and then in the Click Language. Fascinating!
Doro Nawas review
Wondered where we had come to. From a distance the camp looked like a foreboding fort stuck on top of a rock, but once inside, the views justified it's location. Another warm welcome (with song from the staff). The chalets were excellent, but you need to be reasonably fit to climb up to the main building everytime. The evening drive to find the desert adapted elephants was brilliant. We saw 23 including 2 very young ones. The evening was made extra special by the "bush dinner", being led out into the darkness and find behind a very large rock, a candlelit spread and a full dinner under the stars. Again with the staff singing and dancing. Really memorable

This camp had the most welcoming staff. The Damara people the locals from this area we found very hospitable.
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.

Doro Nawas review
very good lodge with friendly staff. We loved the nightly singing entertainment by the team at dinner!
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.

This lodge was set on top of a rocky outcrop which gave for the prefect setting with beautiful sunsets. Staff could not be more friendly.
The game drives were extremely informative.
