Travel reviews by Stefano from New York

"The Weinberg hotel is a clean and good hotel maybe a little soulless."

"We had a wonderful time staying here for 2 nights. Our objective was proximity to the dunes so that we could be there early in the morning with a good light . That worked out perfectly.

The Lodge itself is very comfortable - the dining area has great views. The chalets are well equipped. The Staff were all very friendly and helpful .

Kulala was a great choice as a base in the Sossusvlei area, although Wilderness should probably change a little the afternoon activity ( Sesriem canyon) . We felt it was a bit lightweight compared with the morning visit to the dunes. But probably it is hard to beat the Sossusvlei."

"Great hotel . The hotel is new, so it's very clean and comfortable.

We stayed in the Luxury room sea facing, it was very comfortable and well appointed, only criticism was sea view was mainly of the car park.

Location is perfect next to the ocean, very easy to get to, with very easy parking and walking distance to shopping and restaurants."

"We enjoyed the old fashioned, traditional safari lodge with dark paneling . Everybody was friendly and the service was very attentive . They even washed our very dusty car without us asking them.

The lodge was quite empty , with only another couple who did their own things , so during the activities it was just us. We did all the drives possible alone with Leon and we had a fantastic experience. The game encounters were superb . On one day we had three different rhino sightings!

We felt we were on our very own private reserve."

"Onguma Forest Camp was not our favorite.

It felt a little soulless and the zebra hide on the floor didn’t help. It is clean and the service was good and it is close to Etosha but still it is notch below the other properties we stayed.

The sundowner drive was not worth for us . Maybe we were unlucky but the area they took us was very dense and there were very few animals visible in the reserve .

We had a lot more sightings visiting Etosha’s waterholes independently."

"Okonjima was a perfect end of our trip. The standard rooms were huge and spotless with a fantastic view of the plains. The main lodge is very comfortable and welcoming with tea , coffee and cake and excellent food .

I was a little worried when I saw a long line of vehicles ready to take the guests for the afternoon activities . I thought we are going to be ten cars around a leopard . But everything is so well planned that the cars went in different directions and for our leopard tracking it was just our car ( excellent guide Martin) and we saw first a collared leopard and later her 2 years old son uncollared and very relaxed .

The next morning , we went to the Africat center and even though this is for their safety , it is still a little sad to see the cheetahs walking around their large enclosure. Still a positive and interesting experience."

"Nice and quiet place to stay in Windhoek.

Only a few rooms and overall a very family-like atmosphere . We stayed there before flying back home so didn’t spend a lot of time there.

The food was good especially the breakfast."
