"Perfect for a one-night stop-over to break the journey from Windhoek to Etosha.

Pleasant, but not a place you could stay at for more than one night." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 16 Sep 2015
"Very comfortable rooms and some very god food and wine.

The evening game drive was a bit disappointing we wanted to see the unusual antelope but the guide was set on finding rhino and seemed reluctant to stop for anything else." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"A fantastic spot to spend our last night"

1 night Arrived 15 Nov 2014
"We had no expectations of this lodge which we viewed as a necessary stopping point on our way to Windhoek to catch our return flight. We ended up regretting not getting there until 6pm as it really is a lovely spot set in very attractive grounds with scenic local walking trails, and what we suspect would have been an interesting game drive which we sadly missed due to our late arrival.

The evening meal was excellent. We wished we could have spent more time at this lodge and would like to spend more time in the area next time." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Quick overnight stay"

1 night Arrived 8 Aug 2014
"Francs Indongo was a good decision for an overnight stay en route from Windhoek to Etosha. It was v comfortable and the food was v good and welcome after a long drive. We were glad to have done the majority of the driving on the first day with only 2 1/2 hours the next morning to Etosha.

We did arrive a bit later than expected as our flight was delayed. It might be an idea for the Lodge to know if they are the first stop from the airport. They had contacted you wondering if we were still expected.

Having arrived in the dark, it was delightful to see the surroundings of the lodge to be so beautiful in the morning. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
