Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs E from Cornwall

"Whilst not luxurious Galton House was good value and provided everything that we needed for our first and last nights in Namibia.

The staff were helpful and professional and were flexible providing us with a light evening meal on arrival and the sandwiches we fancied on our last night."

"We loved this lodge in a beautiful location, the sundowner walk, an excellent dinner under the stars and the early morning walk with Petros."

"This camp met our needs to explore Etosha and whilst perfectly nice didn't light our fire.

Our tip would be not to bother with a guide because Etosha is totally accessible by self drive and the guide can't take you anywhere that you can't go yourself."

"A remote yet fantastic location right in the bush. Watching a female white rhino and her calf at the waterhole whilst having dinner was a magical experience only topped by watching a pride of ten lions including a lioness feeding her four cubs.

This camp ticked all our boxes."

"Doro Nawas was a revelation. Being able to wheel our huge bed out onto the balcony and sleep under the stars was an incredible experience not to be missed.

The excursion down the dry riverbed in a four wheel drive landrover was an adventure in itself and finding elephants was the icing on the cake. We would have liked another night here."

"We knew this accommodation was going to be basic however the location on the Skeleton Coast made it all worthwhile. Our trip here fulfilled a long held childhood dream.

The drive from Damaraland to Terrace Bay was spectacular as was the subsequent drive to Swakopmund along the Skeleton Coast and we are so pleased we included it in our itinerary. Cape Cross to see the seals is a must."

"This comfortable guest house is ideally situated to explore Swakopmund on foot.

The owners were very helpful and managed to book tables at The Jetty and The Tug restaurants even though it was the weekend. Tip if you want to shop avoid the weekend as most shops close by Saturday lunchtime. The museum is worth a visit."

"A stylish lodge in a beautiful location. We took the guided trip to Sossusvlei which was amazing.

Our charming guide was very knowledgeable about the unusual wildlife and holding the web of a white lady spider that he had dug up from the sand was incredible. A visit to the largest sand dunes in the world and the dead vlei is not to be missed."

"The quality of this accommodation was a real disappointment and the worst we had during our eighteen days in Namibia. The room looked as if it hadn't been upgraded since the sixties and was very basic. We didn't receive much of a welcome when we arrived and dinner was poor.

We felt that the owner had lost interest and was just going through the motions. We had coffee at the small hotel in Helmeringhausen and wished we had used that as an overnight stop on our way to Fish River Canyon"

"This lodge is in a stunning location that takes your breath away and was one of the highlights of our trip.

We chose not to do the guided tour having spent the previous day in the car and did one of the recommended walks around the rim of the canyon and are so pleased that we did."

"We had a dune room which was beautiful and in a stunning location.

However we felt this was the most commercial of the places that we had stayed in and the attitude of some of the staff was noticeably worse than we had come to expect during our trip."
