"Outstanding welcome and amazing place to stay"
Great for walking and exploring" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Exceptional hospitality at Zebra River"
We loved the relaxed atmosphere and the dogs and all the staff were extremely friendly. For us the walking was fantastic - breathtaking scenery and easily-followed paths.
(If we hadn't had the massive good fortune to be upgraded to a 4x4 at the airport we would have found the approach very dodgy!)" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
That said, although the road isn't up to UK standards - they comment that it really isn't a problem in a normal saloon car if the drive is taken slowly and carefully.

"A wonderful spot with terrific walking"
Rob is so paasionate about the country and equipped us with map and route information for our onward journey as well as packed lunch.
A great start to the road trip." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana
"Fantastic location, great walks available"
Good hospitality and communal dining enjoyable.
The walk up to the spring was really great with good scenery and some wildlife. Really good sense of isolation along the way. Would really recommend it. I would guess that all the other trails they have would be equally as good.
The only downside again would be that the room, although adequate, could do with some updating" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
