“Amazing staff who go out of their way to make your stay comfortable”
+Exceptional staff in all areas of the resort: - Belinda, who greeted us with cold drinks and a refreshing towel upon arrival, - Ismael and Laina who took good care of us during all of our meals in the restaurant, - Chef Abel, who with Ananias and Kavena, created extraordinary culinary dinners, by far our best meals during our time in Namibia, - Hendrina, who made sure that our laundry arrived well before we left the following morning, - Orlando, their very engaging and friendly manager who made our visit even more personal, and, of course, - Frans, our fantastic game drive guide and driver, who was able to spot every moving animal or bird, big or small, especially his amazing ability to spot the elusive cheetah located more than 100 meters away, laying down beside a termite hill, was nothing short of extraordinary! A special thanks to Paula at Ongava Travel for arranging all of our transfers during our week in Namibia. We were so fortunate to have Godfrey from Omahuka Transfers who took such good care of us and treated us like family. Godfrey, we miss you and wish you could be our driver and guide throughout our month-long trip in Africa! You are truly the best. Thanks to everyone
−- The temperatures were unusually hot during our stay, and the air conditioning was not powerful enough and could only cool the bed and not the rest of the tent. - There is no mini bar in the unit, so any cold drinks or additional water needed to be requested by phone.

“Very disapointing; felt ripped off.”
+Staff friendliness; water hole with visiting game was a saving grace.
−I do not mind roughing it (African Born & bred) but to pay R55000 for 2 nights is extortion. Booking.Com seriously let this facility down. Their site deluded my wife into thinking quote was in Rands but it was in Au$ Then although usually Booking.com are cancelable & alterable, not in this case. We were ripped off international rates not SADEC rates though we are South African, then refused any corrections. The camp is tired & needs a huge revamp. My estimation of value between R2500 & R5000 max a night for a couple. I challenge a correction!!

“Beyond expectations”
+This place is magical and went far beyond expectations. Watching elephants drinking at our pool was insane, and our guide Zuma was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a great drive experience, walking close to rhinos, elephants and spotting a lion tribe. Food is awesome too. i wish we could have stayed longer!
−Absolutely nothing!
