10/10 Excellent
"Our Habitas is nestled on the top of a mountain and it boasts 360 views. The Savannah rooms are breezy and beautiful. The staff truly makes you feel at home. The food was delicious and the safari drives were fabulous. My only suggestion is that you stay for more than 1 night."

10/10 Excellent
"We were there in February (Namibian summer) so it was hot in the tent during the day, and the huge water-filled cooling thingy (don't know what it's called) didn't help at all, if anything it made the tent hotter not to mention the noise it made. We decided to just open the windows and through in the warm breeze. It was better once the sun had gone down. Otherwise it was a great stay. Staff were nice and friendly and we enjoyed the sundowner game drive."
