Namib-Naukluft Park Hotel Tips by Myndo

I am not sure under what Cathegorie this goes. It may be best, if I describe it:

Camp Mwisho contains 4 Tent-houses. 3 are close together, one -the"honeymoon-suite" is a little on the side.
The tents are built on a wooden platform and stay all year. in it you have a real double-bed with all comfort and out on the back-side a real toilet and shower. These are inside a bamboo-fence but right adjacent.
Luxus in tents. Never had that before.

Unique Qualities: The view is wonderful. All you can see is pure desert. Wide dry land. Wild birds, antelopes, etc.

Dinner is in the main building where the owners live.
The food was excellent, I would give them five stars for the cooking and for beeing so friendly.

Lunch, Dinner and Sunset-Drive with Sundowner inclusive.

By the way: if you speak french: they are from Belgia. They were in Zimbabwe until they had to leave. Now they are here and had that idea with ballooning in the desert (see must-do tip).

There is no Problem in finding the Buellsport Farm, since the Place is named after it and it is quite alone in the surroundings.
Two roads cross here, and at the Farm there is a Gas station and a Shop.

In the Evening (and under the day) you eat together with the owners and other residents.
The meat is mostly self-hunted (in their area) and very good. It is Kudu or Oryx or some other Antelope. Very fine meat, indeed.

Also: don?t miss the evening drives this Guest Farms offers. You get an idea of the area they are living (and working) in and you get to see a lot of animals if you are a little lucky. Here there are Groundpigs and lots of Oryx Antelopes, also Mountain Zebras

Unique Qualities: At Buellsport they have special hiking tours, (see the "off the beaten track" tip.) And they help you a lot to find a good one for you.

The Sinclair Guest Farm is located in the middle of a wide Plateau.

Around the house it is quite green, but elseif the Plateau is filled with yellow gras that moves with the gentle wind.

Unique Qualities: The food you get for Dinner and Breakfast is almost completely self made. The only exception I remeber, was the cheese (imported from the EU). The rest: saussages, bread, butter, marmelade, the meat etc does all come from the Farm.

On the Farm there is an old Copper Mine. It is a must see. Go there and have a look at the old equipment and the blue-green stones. Try to find a nice one to take with you (just remember there is a weight limitation on the baggage you are taking into the airplane :-)
The Mine would still have Copper, but the effort to bring the Stone somewhere is too high and wouldn?t pay out. So the companies gave it up.

The view from the mine when the sun goes down is so beautiful (see picture).
and yes: that is a Quivertree you see.
