Travel reviews by Mr T & Mrs H from Essex

"Friendly helpful Staff, very positive experience at the Olive Grove would recommend to others. The building is a bit shabby in places.

Stellenbosh Wine Bar and Restaurant great place to eat in the evening"

"We really loved the Hoodia Lodge every aspect was excellent.

Would certainly recommend to others."

"The Cornerstone Lodge was adequate, certainly the dining room was efficient in the mornings, breakfast good.

Staff were helpful

We felt the rooms were cold

These travellers also took part in the following activities whilst in Swakopmund and had the following to say:
Pelican Point kayaking:Loved it !
Jeanne was a brilliant guide who had thought of everything to make the morning a success.

Catamaran Boat cruise:
A good trip, though very cold.
Did feel that maybe blankets could have been provided..
We were kept waiting an hour before boarding
The sealion and pelicans on board provided entertainment!!"

"Great location, but not alot to see.
Tented accommodation was probably not for us ."

"We liked Doro Nawas and had a wonderful guide for an early morning drive out to see the elephants , just made our stay!
Rooms were good.

Staff friendly, but real lack of information if you were travelling as a couple, the larger groups with a tour guide seemed to know what was going on!
The shop was never open"

"We had a good stay at Hobatere Lodge, great food too.
Staff were helpful and the singing in the evening was fun.

Successful early morning trip with guide... could see animals from the lodge and waterhole. We would definitely recommend this lodge, though rooms are small and no facilities for hair drying or coffee making etc unless a flask is collected from reception.

The wifi was non existent.

We would have been happy to stay another night and access Etosha from the lodge"

"A very busy lodge. Meals adequate, though no cutlery, bowls,or plates at times did add to experience...... no one around to keep things stocked up.
Accommodation was ok, towels completely threadbare.

The waterhole was very good in the evening.

Drive with guide in the afternoon was disappointing we would have seen more in our own vehicle."

"This was a great place to finish holiday, we were upgraded to The Bush Camp which was fabulous and strongly recommended .
The food and service just excellent
WE had a great guide who made sure we saw the leopards and cheetahs. We would have been very happy to stay another night and just relax at the lodge."
