"Olive Grove review"
Every where we went in Namibia people were so warm and welcoming. However our reception here was quite frosty" See all these reviews: 5n in Namibia
On the issue of noise, he agreed that quite a few guests went to Joe’s for dinner and when they got back (around 22h00), there were some conversations in the car park. Similarly, the next morning, some guests were waiting in the car park for their respective transfers, and again there was some discussions going on there. He wasn’t aware of any loud or excessive noise – but apologised if there was any.
Roger remains sorry that these travellers didn’t enjoy the Olive Grove as much as he and his team always strive for.
"Olive Grove review"
We appreciated the variety of resources that were available to purchase at the beginning of our trip. The pocket guides to mammals and birds in Southern Africa that we purchased there were appreciated and utilized throughout our trip. In addition, we appreciated the variety offered at the breakfast buffet and dinners were very good. We also appreciated being able to store a couple of small but bulky items between our trips here."

"Relax at the Olive Grove Before or After"
We chose to have dinner at the guesthouse and the meal was excellent.
The rooms are large and comfortable and the location is easy to find by car." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Olive Grove review"
Since we had been up all night on the flight, we were a little jet lagged but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We did not do any activities at the hotel (or that were arranged by the hotel) so I have put "no comment" in that category below." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
