    The Lodge is a beautiful setting and very close to the Etosha Nat Park. Very friendly and dedicated staff who manage to offer the best. Excellent service and excellent food. Safe parking for the car provided. A must be place to experience the natural beauty of Namibia. Safari trips can be arranged by the reception, where questions are welcome!

    Sunset with German Opera Stars

    No fridge in room, that little bit more expensive than other lodges.

    I stayed for 2 nights with my 5 year old. It is a larger lodge than Toshari, the chalets were really nice - very private, food selection (buffet) was plentiful and tasty, and we did a breathtaking evening game drive from here. The sundowner deck is just fabulous, and I felt that the way dinner was served out on the deck with twinkling lights was really quite romantic. Our highlight was (by extremely good luck as we were unaware of the concert before we arrived) seeing the German opera stars sing on the deck, across Etosha and with in the background and the sun setting. It was absolutely magical.

    That the door to the outside was badly fixed, after we reported that it just swings open with a little wind. That was poor craftsmanship, as we then couldn't open up both doors fully anymore.

    The privacy of the rooms with the most stunning view. Furthermore, the little coffee station was well stocked with really good coffee. The setup of the rooms was stunning! The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Clothes were washed with care and delivered the same day. All swimming pools had the most breathtaking views. The grounds were very well kept.

    There should be black out curtains in the room.... not everyone is rising early to go on safaris.

    Hotel, room, staff and food are excellent. The coffee tray is well equipped and linens were top notch. Buffet meals have plenty of variety, and were well cooked snd presented.

    Great lodge with stunning view onto the bushland from a higher platform where the bar and restaurant are. Excellent restaurant staff. Awesome camp restaurant with live music which is absolutely worth to have dinner instead of the main lodge for a change. Great fun!

    The staff never told us much about what to do in the park, and even gave us the wrong time that the park opened resulting in us being late and missing sunrise. They weren't very helpful, and we felt we were getting in their way often.

    Location and view was great, the amenities were also nice.
