Food quality does not reach our expectations. Some parts of the room needs renovation, especially the floors. WIFI almost never worked. Locatie is ok, 15 minutes drive from the park gate. View from the sun downer deck is beautiful.

I booked this property seven month in advance through expedia, the day before they told me that there was no booking I was shoch, finally they sort it out. The hotel facilities are nice, food was excellent, it was clean some of the staff need a training concerning english language. I would not pay more than 250 euros per room

OK experience, room for improvement.

Lovely location. Spacious rooms spread out overlooking Etosha. Food ok, buffet expensive for dinner especially when they rundown the options towards the end of the sitting. We had to ask them to make more of a chicken dish as we don’t eat red meat. Staff on the whole very good, although the lunch time crew seemed disinterested when we arrived at 2pm. Breakfast much better. Rooms could do with a refresh.

Highly recommended stay at the Etosha Safari Lodge

This is a beautiful lodge located about 17 km from the Anderson Gate of Etosha National Park. The chalets are clean and cozy and the beds are quite comfortable. The walk-in showers and water pressure are excellent. The meals served in the lodge restaurant are buffet-style, with many selections. I found the food and selections, as well as the drinks offered by the bar, to be exceptional! The views from the lodge balcony during the day, but especially at night (moon and stars), are stunning. The lodge offers morning, afternoon, and full-day game drives to and in Etosha, and the guides are wonderful hosts. We saw a lot of wildlife during game drives on two separate days, especially on the western side of the park. I would definitely stay at this lodge again and plan to return in the future. The value you get for your money is excellent.

Etosha mass tourism

Lovely room in a super hotel 10 kms from the main Etosha park gate. Fabulous sunsets and Etosha one of the great game reserves in the world Only complaints … slightly impersonal but inevitable given size and food average

6/10 Good

Nice hotel to stay one night.

Lobby, restaurant and bar are very nice. The area to see the sunset is awesome. The rooms/bungalows are in urgent need of refurbishment. And there are bizarre things like steps to access the bungalow, which obviously makes it difficult to move suitcases. Also the parking next to the bungalows needs to be improved.

If you have mobility issues, thete are a lot of steps (with handrails) but it is steep terrain The office does offer a car to go from msin lodge to rooms Staff is amazing, especially Nakale, the manager I'm not a fan of buffets which is served for breakfast and dinner Food was good but just not hot enough Great showers and lots of hot water Overall, it was a nice visit.

they had issues in finding my booking, room was nice but no view, which we were surprised about given the location. Nice sunset terrace. Dinner was not included and they charged 23£ per person per night (drinks excluded), which was a bit of a rip off for a buffet in Namibia and the quality of the food. Overall ok but wouldn’t go back.

Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt in der Lodge, auch wenn sie etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist (Wasserdruck bei der Dusche war inexistent, was das Duschen erschwerte). Die diversen Buffets waren reichhaltig und sehr lecker.

Gute Lage nahe zum Etosha Nationalpark. Insgesamt ist das Hotel ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Das Dinner als Buffet ist okay, aber das teuerste auf unserer Rundreise und dabei das schlechteste. Frühstück war gut, Personal freundlich.

Das Abendessen war sehr auf deutsche/europäische Gäste ausgerichtet, und das in typischer Buffetform, welches ich überhaupt nicht mag. Aus diesem Grund ist die Bewertung sehr subjektiv, trotzdem kann ich die Lodge vollumfänglich weiterempfehlen.

2/10 Poor

A éviter : incitations à la dépense sournoises.

J'ai passé deux nuits dans ce lodge, de prime abord sympathique mais assez délabré à l'usage. A l'enregistrement, on m'a bien fait visiter le bar et le restaurant en me présentant le menu du soir, m'invitant à choisir mes plats en omettant soigneusement de me préciser qu'il n'était pas inclus dans le prix de la chambre. J'ai donc dîné et eu la surprise de me voir présenter la facture quand je suis partie, avec exigence de paiement immédiat. Tous les autres lodges que j'ai fréquentés en Namibie prenaient la peine de préciser quand la réservation n'était qu'en B&B. Je trouve très malhonnête, fourbe et sournois d'inciter sans préciser que ce n'est pas inclus. De nombreux autres lodges se trouvent à proximité et ont probablement des pratiques plus honnêtes.

Wonderful stay - highly recommended

We spent 5 marvelous nights. Since we weren’t willing to drive ourselves, it was an ideal alternative as it provided a shuttle from Windhoek directly to the lodge. The veranda offers a great view at sunset, the rooms are spacious (if a little cold in the winter), the food is excellent, you can spot some wildlife right at the lodge (we saw giraffes, zebras and a baboon) and have an amazing view of the milky way at night. The game drives are done in comfy vehicles, with blankets and drinks provided and most guides are great (would ask for Petrus, Dumba or Richard). Since you’re staying outside the park, you have to wait for sunrise to enter, but the guides still do their best to search for the big cats (and we did see some cats every day we were there). It is far more expensive to do the morning and afternoon drives than the allday one but we‘d recommend it because if you miss the cats in the morning, your chances are better towards sunset (the allday drive returns around 3pm). In the winter, it does get extremely cold, so bring winter gear! The staff were lovely and helpful and even sang for the guests. Ideally, we would have liked the option to take a shuttle to the other Gondwana property and see another corner of Etosha but the park is big and we saw many different routes even staying by the Anderson gate. Many thanks to the receptionists, guides, chefs, waiters! We really cherished our time there! (PS: please make the Gondwana fleece jackets available for sale in the shop)
