“Sehr schön, wir würden wieder kommen”
It’s incredibly well‑situated, deep in the wilderness with absolute silence, a stunning starry sky and plenty of wildlife around, letting your soul unwind. The Rhino Trekking was highly recommended and one of our best moments in Namibia, a great finale to the trip. The rooms are well equipped, clean and spacious. The pool is refreshing, the food is good, and many things are homemade. The staff are very friendly and attentive. We’re generally very impressed with the White Rhino project; everyone truly contributes to protecting these wonderful animals, which pleased us greatly. Rhinos can’t be touched or fed and must be viewed from a proper distance, so animal welfare is taken seriously here. Elsewhere, many goats and wild boars keep peeking past the lodges, which we also liked.
I had told them in April that I was vegetarian, and they said it was fine. But upon arrival I was asked whether I also didn’t eat fish, and I’d only received a side dish as the main course unless we made our own suggestions. Thankfully those suggestions were implemented, but it was the worst experience of that kind in Namibia. All guests pay the same and should automatically receive the same offer after agreement, which was not the case here. In other lodges on our tour it was no problem, so this definitely could be improved and was very annoying. The rooms get insanely cold at night even with warm clothes. On top of that we booked the Game Drive because it was described as including rock carvings and more animals in the “Mountains.” During the drive, we were told the rocks were inaccessible because leopards lived there. That was a real disappointment, as the trek alone would have sufficed and we wouldn’t have booked it. Despite everything, the positives outweigh the negatives and we’d come back.
