Travel reviews by Ms J from from UK

"We found the owner extremely helpful.

The breakfast was also outstanding and we found this place to be a great start to our trip."

"We found all the staff to be extremely friendly at Okonjima.

We loved learning about the cheetahs and leopards.

The rooms had a superb view out across the bush and we had the opportunity to go on our own self guided walks, which is nice."

"Camp Kipwe is an oasis in Damaraland. We loved the camp being within a mound of rocks and the rooms were beautiful.

The bar at the top for a sundowner was also a real treat. the staff were so kind and the food was lovely, particularly the breakfast. It was also nice to have free access to the kitchen and talk with the chefs.

Our trips out with Tafty were a treat. Exploring Damaraland is a an excellent experience as the landscape is so varied and discovering any wildlife in their natural setting seemed a privilege.

One note is that the 'Nature walks' are no longer free."

"We found the owner Peter and his staff to be very helpful and supportive, particularly with our difficulties with the car company.

Turnstone Tours were brilliant and I would highly recommend them to anyone visiting this area."

"Although I was keen to see this area, I found the rush of the cars entering the park at dawn to be quite overwhelming. Everyone goes down one road and stops and climbs the same dunes. I would advise anyone to climb the full height of the 'Big Daddy@ to get away a little.

We found the staff to be less friendly and interested in guests at this lodge.

However we loved the experience of sleeping out under the stars. Luckily one guide spent some time talking us through the stars beforehand."

"River Crossing could be a great view and location, but it lacked atmosphere.

It was the only place that did not offer a welcome drink, an important touch after a long drive.

I did not feel that we really met anyone in charge and just seemed to exist on the periphery of a conference that was being held there on the day we left."
