"Great waterhole"
Meals were fine but there was a need to book a table at reception earlier in the day.
We drove ourselves on safari and were delighetd with how much game we saw. Easy roads and well marked." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

The restarant is sinking under its own bureaucracy. You queue in reception to book, later queue in the restaurant to see which table has been allocated. You then search for your randomly numbered table and wait to be discovered by a waiter. Finally you queue for a long time to settle the bill. Good staff, no sign of management. Food less good than Halali. At lunchtime queued for 45 mins for a snack at the kiosk - Okaukuejo needs more staff. For information only - we did enjoy our stay." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
THe bedroom was falrly spacious & extremely clean., however the shower was a mere trickle. The let down was the resturant. Although our evening meals (buffet) was fairly good, the service was dreadful.. There were plenty of staff working, but there was no organisation. For breakfast the choice of food was very poor & again the service was below standard.
It is a pity because the waterhole is obviously a real asset for this camp as we saw plenty of animals there. We are also glad we did not pay extra to have a waterhole chalet as we noticed most of them did not have a direct view of the waterhole & there is very little privacy because of ther amount of people back & forth to the waterhole.
We were very disappointed with this camp." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

Food was reasonable but unimaginative; vegetables overcooked but good selection of meats." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

However, it was all well worth it for the proximity to the watering hole, where we saw all kinds of animals -- including 33 elephants at once having a pool party. The point of staying there is to hang out at the watering hole, which almost always had something interesting going on." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

However most things are acceptable and the waterhole is it's best feature, it must be the best and most prolific waterhole in this part of Etosha." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

Registration is very bureaucratic and the service was chaotic but the food was acceptable." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Crowded but excellent location"
It is also probably the best place to stay if you want to see special birds in Etosha although one of the lodges outside the Park may be equally convenient and more peaceful. It depends on travel times into and out of the Park" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

However, service at reception and the shop is a little dismissive and it is best to be prepared for this as you will probably have been spoilt in other lodges with eager and polite staff. The waiters and cleaners were cheery and polite.
The room itself is functional with a comfy bed and small kitchen including a fridge but no cooker. AC works well and is welcome on the very hot days. Our chalet was within easy walking distance of the water hole." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
