"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."

It is noticeable that the owner is not about during the day - needs to get a proactive manager" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Great place to recover from air travel"
We liked the eccentric, artsy decoration of the place. Food was imaginative and tasteful. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It was no problem that we arrived already at 8 am.
There were not many activities here but we enjoyed the nature trail with explanatory panels." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana
"Welcoming Eningu"
The welcome was friendly, the accommodation and food (provided by a long-standing accomplished chef) excellent, and the pool facilities very comfortable. There is also the added bonus of being able to go for walks in the bush, and the waterhole which provided our first porcupine sighting.
All in all, a great place to relax for a couple of days after long flights etc." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
"Great welcome and perfect start. Authentic"
Food was good and the location very pretty. It was the perfect start to our holiday. Not too far from the airport and yet we already felt in a remote spot.
Would highly recommend anyone to stay here on their first night." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Remote but not too far from Windhoek airport"
We slightly regretted not having more time there as the Clayhouse is part of a large estate with a lot of wildlife in it and a water hole with a hide 50m from the cottages where the guests are accommodated - we saw kudus in particular but understood there are many other species Next time maybe!
Food was excellent and the accommodation was excellent too." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 10n in Rwanda; 1n in Kenya; 1n in South Africa
"Eningu Clayhouse review"
The lodge was very quiet, in fact we were the only guests and saw the staff only on check-in, evening meal and check out.
There is a pool and a viewing platform from where we watched a Namibian sunset." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
