"A brief but convenient stay near the airport"
1 night Arrived 9 Oct 2016
"We only spent one night here on arrival in Namibia - it's location made it a perfect place as it's only a short drive from the airport - the room was beautiful and the setting very peaceful.
Breakfast was great the following morning and then unfortunately we had to head off to our next location" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Not the most pretty set of buildings, but the location is great.
An excellent one-night stop-over before continuing your holiday in Namibia.
Baboons roam freely around the site." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"River Crossing review"
1 night Arrived 29 Aug 2016
"We stayed here for one night en route from safaris in Botswana to safaris in Namibia.
The cottage was spacious and comfortable, but a bit dark and outdated in decor, I would imagine quite difficult to keep clean.
The service and food were good, without being outstanding.
The location is out of town - which has its advantages, but also some downsides if you need to make any purchases. The view on all sides is nice, again without being outstanding." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 6n in Zambia; 3n in Botswana

"Lovely end to our holiday"
1 night Arrived 14 Aug 2016
"River Crossing is located less than 10 minutes from Windhoek but it felt like another world away from the hustle and bustle. The setting on a hillside overlooking the city is great for relaxing either if you have just arrived, or if you're heading off home (which we were).
There is a nice swimming pool and decking area to relax, and rooms were spacious with everything we needed. Food was excellent too, with great game steak the obvious highlight. Though this isn't centrally located in Windhoek, don't let this put you off - it is such a small distance to travel in for a day/evening trip and this was a lovely place to spend the last night of our holiday."

"A good first stop"
1 night Arrived 3 Aug 2016
"River Crossing was in the perfect position for a first night's stay. Near the airport but it felt rural.
The rooms were lovely as were the staff.
A good but not particularly memorable place." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
