"I love Namibia's diverse and constantly changing landscape which constantly piques and grabs your attention.
There is so much to see and experience as you travel around and each day presents something truly remarkable and special."

1 night
Arrived
20 Sep 2017
"Beautiful room and facilities, with excellent customer service throughout.
Wonderful evening game drive with excellent trackers who used all their knowledge and skills to locate the female elephants and a newly born baby.
Lots of other game seen along the way and beautiful sundowner overlooking the game reserve."

Hobatere Lodge
"Nice to see it open again"
2 nights
Arrived
21 Sep 2017
"I had a wonderful time staying at Hobatere Lodge 9 years ago before it sadly burned down. I was not sure what to expect as I returned to see the newly designed reception area and was scared I would be disappointed. It did not take long to allay my fears and we had a truly amazing time relaxing by the waterhole and watching the animals down to drink.
The staff were very welcoming and so interested in what we had been doing, what we had seen and went out of their way to enhance our experience, with the guides running groups of people out to see two lionesses who were laying up a distance away from the waterhole.
We had 3 interesting game drives, which each presented different experiences within the African bush and enabled us to see a wide variety of wildlife at very close proximity. The meals were outstanding and well presented, using local produce. All credit to the Hobatere Concession community for getting this lodge up and running again, I didn't want to leave."

Okaukuejo Camp
"A useful base for exploring Etoshia"
1 night
Arrived
23 Sep 2017
"Don't expect luxury here, but a convenient and comfortable enough stay.
Nice waterhole where you can sit and watch wildlife come down to drink throughout the day.
Buffet style meals which were tasty but basic.
Service was slow."

Mushara Bush Camp
"Very welcoming and warm environment to stay"
1 night
Arrived
24 Sep 2017
"Loved this Bush Camp with it relaxed homely feel. Tented accommodation was a bit of a walk away, but added to the experience of being at a Bush Camp.
Certainly needed the air conditioning in the tent on throughout the night. Food was well presented and appetising, Little duikers wandering around grounds with plenty of bird life.
Staff very helpful and responsive to one's needs. Would certainly stay again."

Fiume Bush Camp
"Wow, truly wonderful stay"
2 nights
Arrived
25 Sep 2017
"The most fabulous 2 days ever. Maurice and Anna the Camp Managers were amazing, as were their team of staff.
The visits into the Bushmen Village and activities were so special and memorable, and we had an outstanding time learning about the Bushmen, and how they use the surrounding plants to treat medical problems, as well as how they make their bows and arrows, beads and clothing. The Bushmen villagers made us feel so welcome and never stopped entertaining us with their laughter and gestures when speaking to us in their local dialect.
An experience not to be missed. A real piece of magic not to be missed off your itinerary."

Frans Indongo Lodge
"Pleasant place to say"
1 night
Arrived
27 Sep 2017
"Nice place to stay with very friendly staff. Well decorated rooms and facilities.
Did not see much on evening game drive despite plenty of searching, but that is the luck of going out game viewing.
Food was very good but portions sizes were very large so difficult to finish 3 course meal."

Okonjima Plains Camp
"A great way to end our trip"
1 night
Arrived
28 Sep 2017
"Absolutely loved our stay here. This is certainly a very special place and I only wish we had spent more than 1 night as there is so much to explore.
Went out on Leopard tracking activity which was lots of fun and finally found the leopard we were search for laying out in the open. Got some brilliant photos before she slunk back into the bush. Wonderful game guides with a vast amount of knowledge and experience. So much to look at within the reception area and great curio shop.
Will definitely revisit here for longer next time."

Nice and quiet without any intrusion from owner or staff who kept very much in the background initially.
Breakfast choice a bit limited."
