"African massage...great. "
Suffering a bit from the extreme drought which has driven some of the larger wildlife away but the very high standard of the guides make up for it. (The Himba marriage arrangements stories are special)
It's a really special, wonderful place and the people are terrific esp Douw." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"
It was an unhappy atmosphere, and it was reflected in the walk and game drive.
We had no problem with the relative simplicity of the accommodation, although some matting between the tent and the bathroom would help to avoid bring grit back into bed! We subsequently met the manager at Erongo who is to take over Etendeka later this year, and he empathised with our concerns" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"
The tents and communal areas are quite utilitarian but this is all part of the magic. The guided walk and game drive are great but the scary skies and the fact that we were only 4 out of the 20 tourists staying in this vast area made it really special.
All night we could zebras snorting and neighing around our tent and it was lovely to get up first thing and see them grazing happily close by." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"
Basic tent, 2 beds, 2 tables, but comfortable
Outside toilet and bucket shower, fun to throw bucket of water over shower occupant to rinse off!
Nice communal dinners – food basic and cooked over wood fires; good to talk to other guests.
Good excursions and good guide (Boas)- well organised and interesting guided walks.
Good to sit round a camp fire with sundowners and after dinner with one of Dennis’ brandies.
Great stargazing with Dennis, informative, particularly with his use of the telescopes. First time we’d seen the four large moons of Jupiter.
Really felt that you were in the remote wilderness, single point of habitation in a huge area, but good Wi-Fi!" See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"
The camp is lovely - you really do get away from it all (although there is wifi access if you really feel the need to catch up on the outside world).
Owner is very friendly and ensures everyone has a good time." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Outstanding"
"Etendeka Mountain Camp review"
Etendeka is not a high density game area, you come here for the landscapes, night sky and being away in the wilderness. The owner, Dennis, was a great host and with his telescope educated us on the night sky.
Days here are filled with a morning walk after breakfast and a scenic game drive in the afternoon; on the walk we encountered springbok, mountain zebra and klipspringer. Numerous birds were spotted including Booted and Black Eagles.
The food was exceptional with main courses of oryx goulash and roast chicken during our stay (the chicken was exceptional!)
At night we could hear hyenas and lions vocalising in the surrounding area." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"A dream come true"
Fabulous walks taken with guide Bonny, on earth liberally strewn with beautiful minerals & crystals hardly trodden by humans & vast open vistas, plus amazing night skies studied with our host Dennis. Three perfect days of tranquillity but always with plenty to do & enjoy.
Food & hosting was excellent, it's a very special place." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
