It is all very well. The surroundings with huge boulders is amazing. The village is neat and works very well for the visit. The people were very friendly and enthusiastic. This is honest and good. Everyone in our group from age 7 to 51 enjoyed our stay very much. Highly recommended! http://namibia.ellerstrand.se/?p=3795 More

At first I was a little skeptical because many of those type of places are sort of "human zoos" (There are many places like this in China). However this... More
