Really enjoyed our stay, the place is well equipped, food was good, staff were excellent and the sundowners drive was amazing. Not many places where the entire restaurant staff break into song at the end of the shift, something truly apprecieted. There chef with one eye (sorry I have forgotten his name) was an absolute star - cracking jokes throughout service and really going above and beyond. Never been a fan of the self serve buffet, which got a little busy when buses arrived, but having said that this was a superb buffet. If anyone is visiting and not taking advantage of the sundowner drive, think again - it is amazing and we can also highlight a really knowledgeable guide. Some amazing sightings, of course, including the elephants. Should also mention the rock art right in front of reception which is wonderfully undersold - literally thousands of years of history and we saw so many people walk right past it. The real highlight for us was the wildlife around the pool, huge variety of birds, dassies on the lawn and those amazing agama doing their push ups on the rocks meant you could easily just spend a day sat there watching them. The pool is lovely as well. Some minor niggles: It's 2024 - charging for wifi only available in the lodge? Seriously? Only place in Namibia we had to pay extra to access the world. I note that Starlink (other satellite providers are available) will begin covering Twyfelfontein from 2025, if your current supplier getting a wired connection in is the issue, would be something to seriously consider. Not really sure why parking at the lodges is a problem, but trekking back to a car park when there is a space right in front of where we slept is a little odd (appreciating that we could park there to load/unload). I am sure there are good reasons for this, but we had an early start and felt guilty driving up and shining the headlights in other guests windows. The road in from Uib, I appreciate is not the hotels issue, but it is awful - three guests around us suffered punctures on the way in. Unfortunately in a world where reviews are everything, this does no favours to what is a lovely place as I suspect a few will vent online for something that really isn't anything you can fix. Overall, those niggles are minor when compared to the amazing experience at Twyfelfontein - just pick the right hire car if you plan to visit, but if you are travelling around Namibia without a 4*4m life will be interesting!
