Pros:

Great welcome

Cons:

Very expensive for the standard of the room. There was no air conditioning, no view to speak of, and the lodge is located in the middle of a valley where there isn’t much to see, even from the bar or restaurant.

The bed arrangement was also disappointing: instead of a proper double bed, there were two single beds pushed together, with a single bed placed right next to ours, making the room feel rather awkward.

Overall: At 10,321 NAD, the price is extremely high, even by European standards, let alone for Namibia. For this price, I would have expected a much higher standard of accommodation and better amenities. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the price.

Ideaal voor een echte Himbatoer
Pros:

Goede plaats om daar de ‘meet the Himba’ halve dag toer te boeken. De tenten zijn eenvoudig maar ok, de lodges zijn veel mooier maar wat te duur…

Cons:

Alles ok!

Enjoyable sojourn in khowarib
Pros:

View was good, pool was clean, tent was comfortable and a nice outside area

Cons:

The en suite was not completely sealed so mosquitoes could come in so had to keep the zip closed in between the bedroom and bathroom

Pros:

Good location close to the main road - but not too close. Did an afternoon drive which did not start perfectly but staff and management tried their best - so all good. Great experience. Dinner on the first night was very classy. Well trained staff and perfect setup. Free wine since the drive did not go so well. Thanks for that. Breakfast was good standard. In general, people were very friendly and that always helps. Things do not need to be perfect. We stayed at the new self-catering tents section and we pretty happy with that.

Cons:

The request that everything has to be pre-booked and paid including meals and activities. After all, credit cards are accepted so I could really figure out the sense of these rules. The reception staff seemed somewhat clueless and bored. After all with everybody being resevered, pre-booked and paid - guest arrivals should not be as surprising? Dinner drinks had to be paid right away and were not to be put on the room. On the second night after a long day trip, staff members comes running at 7:30 pm asking for our presence at the dinner (which is until 9 pm). Once we reach, it turns out staff was doing some dance show and seemingly wanted to maximize attention / tips.

Pros:

Nice diner under the stars but expensive menu for Namibia. I would either choose the campsite or the lodge. The tent options is not this interesting

Pros:

The accommodation was in a tent with a bathroom, with no air conditioning but with a fan. The outdoor terrace included a fridge, tap, and sink, which were very convenient for preparing food independently. Early in the morning, we walked towards the community camp and went down to the riverbed. A must!!

Cons:

Keep in mind that there are mosquitoes and it can get hot at night.

Pros:

Être en pleine nature. La partie à l’extérieur des tentes. Le personnel était réactif. Le calme . Tente de luxe. Idéal pour les amoureux de la nature

Cons:

Coupure d’électricité mais indépendant de la volonté du personnel. Malheureusement nous avons perdu ce que nous avions mis au frigo.
Il a fallu deux fois demander de mettre à nouveau l’eau chaude pourtant chauffer au gaz . Le personnel a vite réagit. Malheureusement nous nous sommes douchés deux fois à l’eau froide.
