"Eningu Clayhouse review"
Lots of marked hiking trails - if you want you can also cross over into the neighbouring farm. Interesting hide for night time animal viewing.
Vegetarian food was a bit disappointing but think for some reason there had been a mix up and they were not expecting a vegetarian so probably not typical." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Still a great starting point"
Bettina is a charming an attentive host, and the lodge is a great place to relax for a day or two after a long journey.
There are no formal activities, but the hide and ability to do bush walks is good." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia
"Beautiful estate"
The rooms are unusual and fun, but could do with an update, particularly the bathroom. The food was good, we found the portions a bit large.
There are great walks around the estate, we wish we stayed longer to explore them." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Eningu Clayhouse review"
lots of walking trails, small animals & birds.
We saw Kudu at many places, they are not on your sightings lists. Also saw mongoose, baboons, Black Back Jackels, Steenbok, Springbok, and a plethora of birds.
We drove to Windhoek for another day there, back to bookstore, repair tire, ate Portuguese food, that was good." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"It was lovely to return to this lodge"
The area surrounding the lodge offers plenty of opportunities for walking in the bush. The walks are clearly marked and the map that we were given was accurate. We didn't see any game on our walks but there were lots of birds. There was also plenty of evidence of wildlife - scat, tracks, porcupine quills, mole rat excavations etc.
It is such a lovely place to stay - interesting buildings, characterful interiors, helpful staff, great food - an oasis of tranquility.
We stayed for two nights but wish we had booked for three." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Eningu Clayhouse review"
Lovely hostess, food, rooms, walks…. Also the drive across was very interesting and on a pretty good road too. It did take about 6 ½ hours but we enjoyed it and didn’t feel exhausted on arrival.
We were surprised to be the only guests that night. Very easy hour drive to the airport and efficient handover of the car. A pleasant wait in the Wilderness Safari Lounge altho the plane ended up leaving quite a bit later. It did seem a bit shambolic in the departure Lounge."
