"Great location"

2 nights Arrived 26 Dec 2015
"This was a great location for visiting Etosha, but unfortunately after Doro Nawas, the first thing that struck us was that the Staff really didn't seem very happy.

The accommodation was beautifully clean but spartan compared to the luxury we had been used to at other lodges, the main buildings were interesting and funky, it was really nice to have live music in the evenings whilst we ate.

The food was O.K., but after Doro Nawas and Sossusvlei it couldn't help but disappoint with some food cold as it had not been kept warm on the buffet.

The pool was brilliant, clean and great fun for the kids.

Whilst we were a little disappointed with Etosha Safari Camp we felt it was a much nicer place to stay than the camps we saw inside the Etosha Park itself - they didn't look at all inviting." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Relaxed and social atmosphere"

1 night Arrived 4 Nov 2015
"We really enjoyed Etosha Safari Camp. The highlight was the courtyard area, where meals and drinks are served - it's a beautiful space and fantastic gathering area. It was really nice having live music there throughout the evening. The food was also very nice and plentiful, and served in a relaxed buffet style.

Although it is only a few kilometres from the entry to the park, the main water holes are then another 30-40 minute drive onward from the gate, so it would be a little far for multiple days, but still worth it as a very pleasant place to stay."

"This boy can cook"

3 nights Arrived 19 Sep 2014
"Our first choice at this location was Taleni and we were a little disappointed when we arrived here, The rooms are a little tired and we had a bit of a flood in the bathroom but it was dealt with swiftly

After our first night here our opinion of the place had to change The food was fantastic the atmosphere and staff made sure everyone had a good time . A very different lodge to most places near Etosha but one that's worth trying if its just to meet the chef" See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"Etosha Safari Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 14 Aug 2014
"Another little jewel. Awash with character and attention to detail.

The main lodge had so much of interest, done up as a shabeen it had so much to see. The staff were very happy and attentive. The evening meal had a wonderful atmosphere, and the live singers gave it a very unique experience.

Again another place not to be missed." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Etosha Safari Camp review"

1 night Arrived 21 Dec 2012
"First impressions were of very friendly staff here, the decor is based around a Shebeen theme with lots of old political posters and all sorts of paraphernalia from the past. The room was very comfortable, ours was close to the pool and eating area but others are spaced over the hillside.

The evening meal was buffet style with a good choice of meats and vegetables.Tables are set in a circular area and two musicians entertained us all evening.

We really enjoyed our brief stay." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Quirky character close to Etosha"

1 night Arrived 26 Oct 2009
"Good location as a springboard for Etosha - it is a quick and easy drive into the park. The camp has a quirky character - kind of upmarket mock African township. It is comparatively big and busy with tour parties.

The rooms are huts with iron roofs which make them quite hot but they do have air-con. There is a swimming pool to cool off after a hot drive. The buffet style food was good - plenty of it and a good choice with more salad and vegetables than in some other places we stayed in." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Etosha Safari Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2009
"We stayed here for 2 nights but I think 1 is enough, it is a decent place and a short drive from the Anderson Gate. The food and restaurant area is really good and a lot going on as there seems to be a lot of groups passing through. I have nothing negative to say about it, but compared to some of the places it was more practical than different.

Be careful on the roads insde the camp that lead to the chalets if you are in a saloon the bumps are very high in parts and it nearly took the bottom of the car off, so we left it in the main carpark, if you chose to do this they will help you take your bags up in a 4x4!"
