"Okaukuejo Camp - camping in Etosha"
The waterhole at the edge of the camp is a great attraction. We spend multiple hours at the waterhole on the day of our arrival, just sitting there and watch the animals pass by. We had a chalet room, which was good. It had all required facilities including A/C.
The food at the restaurant is a buffet both for lunch and dinner, but the quality is rather average and the service is insufficient." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
The only downside though really were the staff who weren't as pleasant as we'd got used to - some could be a little abrupt, but then I guess they're dealing with much larger numbers than other places we'd stayed at" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
The camp is large and the restaurant and other facilities are a bit chaotic and slow because of this. The room was very large and comfortable and only minutes from the waterhole." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Busy Caravanserei"
In spite of its business, this place is really successful and works well for all tourists. Excellent base for self drivers.
Good food and helpful staff, comfortable lodges and a famous water hole floodlight all night long. Well worth the two nights we spent there.
Good facilities including garage and post office but the shop is awful and really rather sad.
Credit cards worked well at all the NWS lodges." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"Accommodation good at Okaukuejo Camp"
Food was awful, exactly the same menu served as Dolomite. Soup and starters slow to be refilled. Tough meat, slimey veg, runny mashed potato, rice just above cold and probably a health hazard. Puddings were never refilled. In fact by this stage we just ate soup and roll and only paid for this." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia
"A pleasant stay at Okaukuejo"
The Bush Chalet was excellent with the air conditioning good. We were able to park at our door. It was but a short walk to to the waterhole. The iconic waterhole was disappointing at times, there being virtually no animals ... at other times it was superb.
Okaukuejo has several excellent waterholes within reach and the potential bonus of night time viewing at the illuminated waterhole.
Overall, a pleasing stay ... but why is the shop not better stocked?" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Rhinos at Okaukuejo"
The camp was excellent and buffet style meals made it more enjoyable. Drinks are served by the waiters and having a friendly chat with them when you arrive seemed to speed up the service a lot." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
