Unforgettable experience! The lodge was elegant and cozy, with thoughtful details throughout. The outdoor dinners were stunning – pizza from the wood oven under the stars was a highlight! Our guide was amazing, and we saw giraffes, zebras, and antelope up close. The kids loved the pool and the animals, and we loved the peace. Pure relaxation in luxury. Namibia stole our hearts.
