Tongole Wilderness Lodge
"Beautiful, peaceful, great for relaxing"
Donna and Steve were fantastic hosts
Thank you to everyone for a great start to our Malawi holiday."

Pumulani
"Great lake setting and activities"
The chalet itself was also extremely spacious and comfortable. The service was excellent and all our requests were promptly dealt with. The facilities were also first class and the dhow and trips on the lake were wonderful. We appreciated the chance to use the telescope with interesting information from Rob.
A very enjoyable experience."

Mkulumadzi Lodge
"Wonderful lodge and food, great game drives"
We thoroughly enjoyed the game walks and drives and particularly appreciated the professional approach of our main guide, Osman. During our transfer he went out of his way to take us everywhere we wanted to go, took us to the nearby town to buy a present and gave great information during the drives and walks. He helped to make our stay really enjoyable.
Thank you very much to everyone."
Our holiday in Namibia
Namibia between 17 Jul 2011 and 2 Aug 2011
For us, the distances were easy to drive but made for quite long days. Also, we would have liked to meet a few more local people to hear about the country and their experience first hand.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
None. thanks very much for organizing a great trip."

Elegant Guesthouse
"The Elegant Guesthouse review"
Guest house comfortable and clean with a peaceful atmosphere.

BullsPort Lodge & Farm
"Bullsport Guest Farm review"
Fun to be on a farm with other activities going on."

Kulala Desert Lodge
"Kulala Desert Lodge review"
It would be helpful to put some gravel on the paths to the rooms rather than mostly sand."

Cornerstone Guesthouse
"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
Helpful advice, including booking restaurant and how to get to places."

Doro Nawas
"Doro Nawas review"
Very atmospheric, wonderful, large 'chalet' rooms with fantastic views. Fantastic food, really great trip to see elephants (Wilfred, trainee guide, went out of his way to take us back later in the day to find the large herd), nice, informative evening walk. Positive feeling of it being a collaborative project with staff very committed to this."

Okaukuejo Camp
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
Room was comfortable and clean, great location near waterhole and for going round the park. Good facilities, shop, food, maps etc. We drove ourselves round the park (great game viewing and wonderful views of the salt pan) so can't comment on activities."

Halali Camp
"Halali Camp review"
Easy access to waterhole plus for driving to see game (it was a bit further to waterholes but worth the drive). Again, we drove ourselves and didn't take part in any organized activities."

Erongo Wilderness Lodge
"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"
When we stayed, it was a bit windy. We had hot water bottles but inevitably there were a lot of draughts and flapping canvas! Excellent food, great guide for evening and morning walk (Heidi), plus waiter in restaurant was effecient, very cheerul and a wonderful source of information and stories.
Management were helpful and attentive although they seemed quite new and in process of developing their own systems and hotel culture."
Wonderful, memorable trip
Rwanda between 28 May 2010 and 5 Jun 2010
We were also very moved by the history of the place and individual stories from local people. The gorilla trekking was fantastic and the trip to the Akagera park magical.
We had such great fun as a family and with Johnson and local people we met, felt part of a bigger family for a short time. Would love to return.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Re trip - It might be useful to stress that getting money and small change was tricky (ATMs not working at all in Kigali or elsewhere and getting money from a bank took about an hour!). Also, to maybe advise people that tipping is widely expected and people need to budget for this and try to get small denominations of notes. We found dollars are far more usable where we were than euros.
maybe have a 'very good' category for this form as sometimes it was difficult to choose between good and excellent."

Hotel des Mille Collines
"Comfortable hotel, great restaurant"
Helpful, friendly service."

Mountain Gorilla View Lodge
"Wonderful views, great food and staff"
The lodge was decorated in a traditional, interesting way. We had good access to hot water and light with the generator (small comment: it would have been good to have had towels dried as they stayed damp with the climate). We really enjoyed the dancing by a group of local children arranged by the hotel.
Overall, we had a wonderful time here."
Thank you to all the staff who made the stay such a great experience."
