Travel reviews by Mr M from Midlothian

"A short drive from the airport.

Ok for a one night stopover."

"Only there for one night.

Wonderful scenery and great accommodation, but no wildlife at least on our walk."

"For us the best part of visiting Swakopmund was the drive up the coast to Hentjes Bay and then over the Namib Desert.

Good breakfast, nice people and close to town centre."

"Our first real Namibian wildlife experience. Camp and accommodation was great.

Staff were delightful and food was good. Despite getting one years rain in one afternoon and the camp flooding we had a great time.

Saw the ellies before the skies opened."

"We had the most amazing safari and were lucky to see three rhinos on foot and get within 10m of a cheetah (in the truck).

The scenery is beautiful. The guiding was exceptional. The area was just starting to get a game population back as the rains were late.

But we saw springbok giraffe oryx impala as well rhinos and cheetah - all in the most wonderful scenery. Plenty of birds too. Loved it!

Staff at the camp were fantastic and we particularly loved the singing."

"It was about what we expected.

Nothing to complain about but we had been spoilt by better!"

"This is high end Etosha.

We probably didn't get as much out of it as we could because of bad weather, but it was a great place to hide."

"This is Bruno's home and he is an expert naturalist. His passion for wildlife conservation is inspiring.

Tommy his right hand man is a gem cooking on the open fire. The experience of walking in the bush is very different from being driven around and we have some special memories.

This is a place that grew on us and we were sad to leave."

"This might be a good way to start a trip as well and avoid Windhoek altogether.

The room was a little tired but we had wildlife come to our door (water buck, giraffe, warthogs) and lots of birds too.

The spa facilities were good and reasonably priced."
