“Nice stay but overpriced and too far from desert elephants”
The location was close to Twyfelfontein and we tents were spacious in a beautiful area. Breakfast and dinner not exceptional but good.

Very beautiful location, room had everything needed and the sleep at night was amazing with the light breeze coming in. Highly recommended the trip to see the dessert elephants, Peter was an amazing guide and we loved spending the day with him. Very nice evening atmosphere enjoying drinks by the fire and then dinner, very tasty food, amazing service done by the two ladies working there. We loved it and all we can say is that we would like to return there and spend at least 3-4 nights.

“Highly recommended!”
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. The excursions are well worth it. Herman our guide taught us a great deal about the local wildlife. Seeing the desert elephants was a holiday highlight. He also took us to visit Twyfelfontein in the afternoon, it was quiet and a wonderful way to appreciate the stones. Again his knowledge was exceptional. The tents are very comfortable with a shower, toilet and WiFi. The food is all freshly cooked on site and the best we’ve had in Namibia.

“A beautiful retreat with amazing sunsets and friendly staff.”
The solitude was incredible and the staff were so friendly. The food was also very tasty. The fire pit at night was a great way to socialize with other guests.

You can stay in a luxurious tent located in the bush. We slept very well with a lot of sounds from the nature, but any animals could come into our bedroom. The sunset drink and evening fire were a great experience. The food was very good. The pool is small but very clean and the pool area is nice.

“Nice Camp with an excellent drive to the elephants”
I was here the 2nd time and it's been a very pleasant stay again. Very friendly people, especially Imelda and Mathias. Delicious food and an exciting game drive to the desert adapted elephants. I also did the walk uphill, well signposted with the reward of a brilliant view over the entire surrounding of that area.

“Enjoy the best hosts, feel good, watch the animals on a gamedrive - 10 out of 10!”
The staff members gave me a warm welcome - especially Jessy made my stay to something really special, also guide Matthias. I really recommend a game drive to the desert adapted elephants, Matthias did not only led me to those amazing animals, we were even lucky to find desert lions as well! That has been an unforgettable experiance. Another special of the Camp is the fantastic food, all over the day: Jessy and her team offers breakfast, lunch, packs as well, an afternoon snack at the pool and dinner - everything is really delicious. The location of the camp is very nice as well, it is surrounded by hills, you can join a hiking trail as well, guided or unguided. During the night you can hear the sound of nature, for example by different birds, geckos or owls, what gives you the best sleep ever. The tents are big, very clean and very comfortable. There's a spectacular view to the stars as well, if you're interested in taking pictures or just enjoy them.

“This is a scam”
This is a scam. For the price they charge they can't have dirty rooms full of insects, WiFi was broken, no air conditioning or ventilation in those tents which heat up like a greenhouse, the generator made an incredible noise, the owners were rude, no phone signal or TV, complete mess. Do not book here they literally steal your money.
