"Namib Naukluft Lodge review"
Very impressive service with 5:30 wake up call, early breakfast and then an excellent hamper with breakfast, tea and coffee to take into Sesriem to see the sun rise." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Namib Naukluft Lodge review"
We took the excursion to Sossusvlei and were really glad that we did – at first it seemed expensive, at about £50 each, and we could have done it ourselves for the cost of the petrol, but we were glad of a day out of our own car and in the end it seemed great value. A nine-hour day out (5.30am-2.30pm), the camp provided an early breakfast and a picnic breakfast and it meant we did more, and probably saw more, than we otherwise would have done, and we didn’t have to drive at 5.30m when we were sleepy. The guide’s English was more halting than that of some others’, but he was very nice and attentive and was easy enough to understand." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
