"Camp Sossus review"

2 nights Arrived 13 May 2024
"Jonathan was an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide. What he didn't know, he researched.

The food was excellent with attentive staff.

They discovered it was Duncan's birthday and produced a bottle of champagne and birthday cake." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Camp Sossus review"

3 nights Arrived 27 Apr 2022
"Wow, this camp was very special.

We were spoiled by the staff. They went all out taking care of us. We have never stayed anywhere before that has had such a high level of service. Everything here was excellent.

The safari tents were comfortable and the upstairs bed made night sky viewing a special treat. Night skies were the best we have ever seen in the world.

All of the activities were designed to meet our goals for the trip. We love this camp!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
