Etosha Garden Hotel, Namibia (this camp has since closed)

"Etosha Garden Hotel review"

1 night Arrived 14 Jun 2015
"This was disappointing very cold, the shower didn't work well no pressure. Tatty.

This was the only accommodation that didn't give us shower gel etc samples and as we had no luggage this would have been useful.

Food was good though"
