"Dolomite Camp review"
The area is much less visited so sightings are viewed without the abundance of vehicles. The camp is on a VERY steep cliff. It is serviced by a buggy and we had no issues here, the buggy arrived as promised each time we ordered it.
People with mobility issues should not stay here, it is steep and a bit slippy on the slopes.
Rooms were nice, but no air-con- we were spoilt in Okaukeujo so you really notice not having it - great views from small balcony, overlooking small waterhole where we saw a black rhino, giraffe, zebra and wart hogs visit.
Food was quite good and reasonably priced - as was a good bottle of wine!" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Dolomite Camp review"
The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful (far better than on our last visit) and the food was great (two choices for main course at dinner, two choices for desert, better quality than in the other NWR camps we stayed at and at a more reasonable price).
Would certainly come back again in future." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

I think in times of more rain it would be a stunning place to see the park from but in the drought less so." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Dolomite Camp Review"
The views from this location were unparalleled so we were not unhappy that we stayed one night there, however the overriding feeling is that the staff are not motivated and generally could not be bothered. When we were in the restaurant we had to find the staff (as we were going out on a night drive) to serve supper. They were all clustered round the television in the bar area! A great pity that the lodge felt sad and tired as the location was simply stunning.
Not sure we would recommend this Lodge." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Beautifully rugged and wild"
The camp is in a great setting, wide open vistas from all angles, brilliant sunset and sunrise! We were treated to a giraffe munching right outside the room when we arrived, and later a herd of elephant too. The beds were incredibly comfy - very nice to relax into after the steep walks around camp!
The night drive was fun and our guide thrilled to find a couple of aardwolf, brown hyena, multiple rhino and a spotted wild cat." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Astonishingly view across Etosha"
Great infinity pool with view and lovely tented cabins.
Slightly disappointing restaurant with patchy service. Noone seemed to know whether safari drives were available, fortunately we were happy to do our own thing." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Dolomite Camp review"
Neither the book, nor our itinerary warned us that driving up is a not really an option, and everyone takes the shuttle. This needs to be pointed out in your itinerary. The chalets and facilities are very good - tented bar and restaurants appropriate - but there is an element of fitness required to get between chalets and these facilities. Paths long and at up to 20% incline in places - of maybe it just felt like it!
No-one asked for a deposit although there was an inventory! Staff extremely welcoming and helpful as we needed to plan for a tyre replacement (previous day's puncture plus, by adhering to 'do not get out of your vehicle', needed to drive on it for a while before able to stop) and assistance given with telephone as no mobile signal available.
Meals excellent and delightfully served, pool not used, but beautifully maintained and welcoming." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
