Hoanib Valley Camp
"Hoanib Valley Camp review"
The Hoanib valley is clearly one of the best kept secrets in Namibia. Worth spending three nights !
Also possible to drive to the Camp with your own 4x4 vehicle and being escorted over to their sister camp Shipwreck Lodge at the Skeleton Coast."

Mowani Mountain Camp
"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
The camp is built within impressive rock formations - which offer a great view during a sundowner.
Some of Namibiaâs best rock art gravings can be visited nearby at Twyfelfontein."

Spitzkoppen Lodge
"Spitzkoppen Lodge review"
The lodge is located directly ar the foot of the Spitzkoppe mountain which for its shape is also called the Matterhorn of Namibia. Rock formations are as impressive as those of Mowani Mountain Camp and the staff is highly committed to make your stay special.
The area is not as busy as the one around Mowani which might be considered as a plus.The camp is located a bit off the main tourist route, but still in a good reach when travelling from Windhoek to Swakopmund or vice versa or when travelling from Damaraland down to Namib Naukluft NP.
One just need to be aware that this lodge is more about landscape rather than game viewing."

Zambia during Covid 19 times
Zambia between 25 Sep 2020 and 10 Oct 2020
- Supporting conservation, lodges & locals
- Experiencing parks/camps in a very exclusive & distinguished manner
- Being pampered & appreciated
- Getting a bit of distance from the news at home
We also like to emphasize that all camps did make a tremendous effort to make our stay as convenient and as safe as possible. This included wearing face masks, using sanitizers, respecting social distancing, 24h room vacancy prior to new guests arriving, 10 day staff quarantine prior service. So all together not any different of what you would expect at home in order to feel safe !."

Nkwali
"Nkwali review"
The wildlife in the Mfuwe area was during our stay slightly less active than at Nsefu, but maybe it only felt like it after being on safari for already quite a while. We also felt that compared to Nsfeu the area might attract a little bit more traffic due to the higher number of lodges and self-drivers. But of course now due to Covid, it was not busy at all. Amongst the usual *stuffâ, we spotted 4 leopards, a very photogenic porcupine and as the highlight of our stay even an aardvark â still canât believe it ! Now only an aardwolf and a pangolin is left on our list of rare sightings."
