Travel reviews by Family O from USA

"Our time here was very short. We were to be met at the airport by Safari Club and brought to the property but there was no representative waiting and we and another party were only picked up after a couple of phone calls to Safari Club.

Once we arrived, the staff were very nice and apologetic and gave us a bottle of wine with dinner for our troubles. The room was big and comfortable."

"This is a great property for self-catering families or groups since the accommodation has a fully furnished kitchen and good sized living room with patio. The second bedroom is a loft with two twins.

Breakfast is in the Safari Inn Lodge, a 4 minute walk from our unit (which was closer than most). Lokothula guests have use of the lodge except for the pool. Lokuthula has it's own small pool - used by our 8-year old daughter and, I suspect, the cause of stomach issues the next day.

The property is not close to town or the falls but there is an hourly free shuttle that will take you there.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Dining at the Safari Inn was quite good, with a nice elevated view of the watering hole and good African singers."

"This is a wonderful Lodge with expert staff, comfortable rooms and excellent safari/guides. We were booked on the two-day package including morning drive safaris and afternoon river safaris. Don't miss the river safaris in particular.

The guides, John and Innocent, told great stories, we're very knowledgeable and maneuvered the vehicles/boats expertly to allow for great views/photos. Lodge staff were consistently attentive and friendly."

"Fun place to spend a day while traversing the Caprivi strip. We stayed in a "tree house" which is an open-air, raised hut built around a tree. Nice view of the river - we watched the sun rise over the river from our beds in the morning. We weren't here long enough to participate in any activities but Ngepi Camp had a good list of them.

I would not recommend the 4 kilometer driveway in a 2-wheel drive vehicle. We made it in ours but it was edgy."

"Good layover stop in Tsumeb. Room had little atmosphere but was large and clean. Our daughter liked the small playground on the grounds.

We discovered later that we were double charged for a dinner that was paid that night and also charged to our room and paid at check out. Still waiting to see if the double charge can be resolved..."

"We were in a 2-bed chalet - spacious and nice with patio and BBQ. Camp is large and spread out.

By far the largest swimming pool we encountered on our trip.

Good viewing area of waterhole in this camp - jackals, fox, hyena and rhino spotted in the one hour we went at night."

"Very much of a safari experience down to the armed escort taking us from our tent to dinner after sundown.

Personal, friendly and attentive staff across the board. Great viewing of rhinos and lions in this reserve including nightly visits by the rhinos to the waterhole.

Safari guides will take you to Etosha but it makes for a significantly longer drive. Excellent food and lively meals. Luxury tents."

"Great location in the center of town. Elegant (without being stuffy) hotel with pro staff."

"We stayed in the Desert Camp but took our meals at the Lodge. As part of a wedding group, we enjoyed the extensive buffets in a variety of locations. The lodge does an excellent job of feeding it's guests well in beautiful settings!

Desert camp is about 4k away from the lodge on rough washboard road."

"We enjoyed a very comfortable stay for our short time in Windhoek. Stylish, comfortable room.

Excellent food at the guesthouse and next door at sister restaurant."
