"Excellent service. Friendly and efficient. Wonderful breakfast. Lovely grounds in a beautiful position.

We could have done with an extra night, at least, in order to explore and enjoy all the many and varied activities and experiences."

Little Vumbura

Little Vumbura

"Little Vumbura review"

3 nights Arrived 7 Sep 2008
"As we arrived by boat the welcome was fantastic. All the staff were there singing and dancing on the jetty and the warmth and hospitality of all was truly memorable.

Lazarus (our guide) was a star. We saw all the animals we could have hoped to have seen amd many beautiful and colourful birds.
Our first trip into the Delta was very special . Our stay in the Honeymoon Suite was the icing on the cake.
Little Vumbura holds very special memories and the highlight of the holiday. What more can we say."

Kulala Wilderness Camp, Namibia (this camp has since closed)

"Kulala Wilderness Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 14 Sep 2008
"Yet another warm and friendly welcome. We would have preferred a camp nearer to the Dunes.

The early morning Balloon flight was spell-binding and the champagne breakfast outstanding.

The Guide here was very nice, but at times difficult to understand and had limited knowledge. He was still training.
Food disappointing in comparison.

Morning excursion to the dunes: Quite a long drive to the Dunes. Would have preferred a less crowded dune then dune 45.
Friends had walked up Big Daddy - just 4 of them and had an excellent experience.
A fascinating morning at the biggest beack in the world."

Eberwein Hotel, Namibia (this camp has since closed)

"Eberwein Hotel review"

3 nights Arrived 17 Sep 2008
"At last a bath !! A well appointed city hotel.

Day trip to coast south of Swakopmund: The day tour here was another outstanding day. Ernst (our guide) was so enthusiastic and informative which made our day, not only interesting but at times exhilarating and exciting. An amazing day. We shall always remember."

Erongo Wilderness Lodge

Erongo Wilderness Lodge

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 20 Sep 2008
"A very different situation - mountains, rocks and huge boulders. We would have preferred one of the other tents with a better view.

It was very hot and there was a lot of irritating insects.

Not enough to do. Bird walk disappointing and very few animals."

Bishops' Court, South Africa (this camp has since closed)

"Bishops' Court review"

4 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2008
"Perhaps a little too far out of the centre.

All the other rooms were very much better - more spacious and better equipped. Definitely the short straw.

Atmosphere a little lacking."

Blue Train (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"review"

1 night Arrived 26 Sep 2008
"The Blue Train welcome lounge was impressive.

When the train departed a very small plate of fruit arrived in the cabin, but a glass of chamapgne would have completed the overall reception.

Scenery very disappointing. Overpriced. Not to be repeated."
