"We had a wonderful trip. It was a great adventure and a truly memorable experience. We loved the country - magnificent scenery, lovely people, gorgeous sun rise and sunsets, delicious food and wonderful wildlife.

The staff at Wilderness Safari's were really helpful at the beginning when we had a problem."

"Gorgeous"

2 nights Arrived 31 May 2016
"It is a fantastic Lodge in every way.

The location is stunning. The quality of everything was superb. Customer service was excellent. We were made to feel so welcome and the staff were very sensitive to our circumstances. Food was delicious.

The drive to the sand dunes was spectacular and the experience of climbing them was special. The guide was brilliant and made it so much fun.

Drinks served on the drive in the evening sunset was a lovely experience. The staff presented us with a birthday cake and all joined in to sing. It was beautiful. An absolutely wonderful place in every way."

"Wonderful location and experience"

2 nights Arrived 4 Jun 2016
"Fantastic location. Lovely Lodge. The drive was quite long but necessary in order to find elephant.

We loved the meal served outside in the evening and the breakfast on the drive overlooking the mointains. Loved the outside toilet!! The staff singing was a lovely touch that we enjoyed everywhere.

The staff were very good, but very disorganised when we came to pay our bill at the end."

"Characterful and comfortable"

2 nights Arrived 6 Jun 2016
"It was a nice lodge but not quite as well run as the other lodges, although friendly service.

The food was very good and well cooked.

The water hole was a great attraction, with plenty to watch.

We had an enjoyable night drive and the guide was very interesting."

"Great view. Very smart Lodge"

2 nights Arrived 8 Jun 2016
"The Lodge was very good. Food was good and the water hole was excellent. We loved going down to the hide to get a closer look at the animals. We were lucky to see both Black and White Rhino and giraffe coming up close to drink.

The staff were good although the guide came to talk to us and although we were interested in a night drive, he didn't take us up on it. We were driving ourselves around Etosha by day."

Mushara Bush Camp

"Authentic, down to earth camp"

2 nights Arrived 10 Jun 2016
"Loved the relaxed nature of the camp. The rooms were more basic, but lovely, characterful and clean.

The setting was authentic as it was not manicured but attractive in a natural setting.

Staff were very good and the singing was lovely. We took a morning walk with a guide for some exercise. It was a slow walk but he gave us a lot of information about the tree and plant life."

Okonjima Bush Camp

"Excellent Camp"

2 nights Arrived 12 Jun 2016
"Lovely location. Rooms were splendid although the point of a separate viewing lounge for each room seemed unnecessary. It meant going outside to make a hot drink! It was fun to have your own private water hole.

Our guide (Rohan) was exceptionally good but we found the manager (Angel) a bit condescending. Our initial greeting from another member of staff was not very professional as he seemed confused as to why there were only three of us. He stumbled over the names and made us all feel a bit uncomfortable.

The drives were fantastic. Rohan made them an experience we will never forget, especially our walks - tracking Cheetah, Wild Dogs and Spotted Hyena. The food was excellent."
