"Okaukuejo Camp review"
The camp itself is adequate and the rooms conform table." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Okaukuejo Review"
Check in and out was quick and easy and staff friendly and helpful. We arrived when the power was down, and rather than keep us waiting to pay our park entry fees, they were quick to tell us to continue to our accommodation in Halali and pay our park entry 4 days later when we returned to Okaukuejo.
The restaurant food was better than expected with nice fresh grilled game steaks to order. Little choice of food in the shop, so unless you bring your own food and equipment a braai is not possible even though the room had a braai and good sized picnic table outside. Buffet style was good, as service was a little slow. In respect of this, we did not try paying by card in the restaurant or shop. Majority of staff were helpful and friendly, and those that weren't soon responded if you were friendly towards them!
At the time the wildlife was abundant in this region and also at the waterhole. For example, one night we saw 9 black rhino simultaneously at the Okaukuejo waterhole (logged as one sighting), and at another waterhole close by, 50 ostrich amongst a variety of other wildlife.
We did self-drive, and therefore, did not make use of the activities on offer." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp"
The dinner was not good at all, so bad that we bought wine, crackers and cheese for our second night.The service in the restaurant was chaotic.
We went to the camp's waterhole 3 or 4 times but saw no animals there.
We did see animals while driving in the park - but not a rhinoceros (no rhinoceros in Namibia or Botswana, our bad luck)" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"too busy place with great water hole"
Catering facilies were really awful, chaotic and lack of choice re food. Deposit at arrival purely symbolic, as no one checks cabin at departure. one of the best water holes directly bordering the camp.for one night of the stay but better to have visited for the day rather than stayed, didnt compensate for rest of negative experiences."

The rooms were very clean and practical and you can walk to a waterhole 24 hours of the day and have great wildlife sightings what isn't there to like." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

Elephant and rhino sitings in the waterhole and nearby in Etosha were the highlight. Might be a good idea to give future clients the choice of where to stay there with the different room types and prices as we were a long way from the waterhole in what could have been a noisy location."

The Water Chalets were pretty comfortable and the food was better than we'd expected.
