"Good place to rest n the way back to Windhoek"

1 night Arrived 16 Aug 2013
"It is a nice lodge but I would not shorten my trip to stay there.

It is more a lodge where people can have a nice afternoon/night on the way from/to Windhoek should the drive to/from the North seem too long." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"Very welcoming and comfortable. Nice to have all the varied antelope etc to view from the deck. A perfect stop before heading back to Windhoek - nice to still be in the peace and quiet, see all the warthog families on the side of the road and the bird life .

Excellent dinner and breakfast" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Frans Indongo Lodge - very nice indeed"

1 night Arrived 20 Sep 2012
"A beautiful bush lodge built in traditional style and set in a lovely location, we had a pleasant stay here, the food and service were very good and rooms were comfortable well furnished and spacious. The restaurant staff would sing after dinner, it was a nice treat.

A well designed lodge with lovely restaurant (Lappa) a viewing deck and small pool, the gardens were immaculate with a colourful Jackaranda tree providing a stunning backdrop.

Run more like a hotel than a game lodge for me and perhaps not so relaxing, nevertheless it was lovely. Game drive in a large open vehicle rather disappointing, the guide could perhaps have made it more interesting/entertaining but said very little about the resident wildlilfe ."

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 9 May 2012
"We arrived early afternoon on our first day and were persuaded to take an inexpensive game drive around the farm. What a treat that was. We saw so many animals and birds including a close encounter with 3 White Rhino, that it completely exceeded our expectations.

The room and indeed the whole lodge was beautiful.

The food would compare with almost anything we've had in England for quality and the house red wine at about ÂŁ2 a glass was excellent.

Once again the staff were wonderful. I particularly liked the balance they struck between efficient service and friendliness.

Overall this was perhaps our favourite lodge, although all of them had many aspects to enjoy." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"Fantastic birds!"

1 night Arrived 26 Oct 2011
"Our room had a letter wishing us Happy anniversary with flowers and dough hearts to decorate the table and bed.

As a keen bird watcher I was delighted to see so many birds enjoying the water feature. There were plenty of game visible from the lodge and we did the walking trail in the evening." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
