"Good for first or last night"
The owner was very relaxed about us hanging around on the day of departure to suit our airport check in - a major bonus given the garden and pool." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Immanuel Wilderness Lodge review"
The really strong point about Immanuel Wilderness Lodge is the owners. They provide absolutely perfect care of their guests. The food is exceptionally good, the hosts and staff are lovely, and everyone wants to see that you are happy and comfortable. Without asking, they offered to check us in for our flights, print boarding passes etc to avoid hassle at the airport; just that wonderful feeling that they really look after their guests.
The rooms are simple but they are clean. There is plenty of parking and the grounds (with a pool) are adequate for just relaxing. We would chose to stay here to start and end any future visit to Namibia. As mentioned by others, do enjoy the Namibia cheeses; wow, they are good!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Immanuel wilderness lodge."
Now it is on the edge of an industrial area with the sounds of a forklift truck and angle grinder constantly in the background.
Adequate room with a ridiculously small bathroom.
Food was excellent but bar area was spoiled by a rather large dog running wild." See all these reviews: 27n in Namibia; 4n in South Africa; 3n in Botswana

"Immanuel Wilderness Lodge review"
We happened upon a quiet time in the tourist season and enjoyed long chats with the owner/chef.
Having left a dog at kennels in N.Z. we enjoyed the 4 dogs belonging to the owners at this resort.
This was a gentle introduction into the climate and culture which as our West Africa trip progressed so did its challenges. (After Namibia we went on to Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso)." See all these reviews: 5n in Namibia

It was nonetheless a very good option for those needing to stay near the airport at the beginning or end of the trip, who don't want to stay in Windhoek itself. The drive to the airport was about 60km and took no more than an hour." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia
