It was the most comfortable camping I have ever experienced. The tents were bigger than our bedroom, the food was incredible and the hot, private in-tent camp shower so refreshing. But we were truly out in the wild and could hear baboons near our camp and find elephant dung behind the tents.

The complete Namibian experience was really fantastic. I have been on 2 previous safaris, but this was certainly the best!

It was my best ever travel experience, and I am a travel writer. I made new friends and learned so much, all in a relaxed environment. Arriving in the village - the warmth of the welcome, the pleasure of staying in a manyatta (mud hut). Also the activities are wonderful - walks amongst the zebra, milking cows, firing bows and arrows, lighting fires. Really good fun!!

Being introduced to local people and getting the chance to understand at least a bit about life in that area. The game drives were delightful, food delicious, the lodge comfortable and we were looked after with great hospitaliy and charm.

Visiting the nearby village was a real eye-opener and an experience I could not have obtained any other way in a short holiday of three weeks in Tanzania. The Barbours were most welcoming and kind and I felt part of the family.

Brilliant. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The lion walking past us right by the car was the most memorable part of the trip.
