"Beautifully designed relaxing place"

1 night Arrived 29 Oct 2009
"The buildings are beautifully designed inside and out - comfortable places to sit inside and out on the deck overlooking the farm.

There is a great variety of animals - unusual types of buck, zebra, oryx who come to the waterhole. The food was very good and the staff friendly. There is an attractive swimming pool and a tower which gives great views over the surrounding plains.

There are self-guided walks within the farm - the walk up the hill was worth the climb in the heat for the view and the pleasure of the walk. In the evening zebra and oryx were fairly close to the path before they spotted us and took off." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Good place to end (or start) trip to Namibia"

2 nights Arrived 19 Oct 2009
"As this was our last place prior to flying back we just relaxed, taking a couple of walks, reading by the pool and watching the animals visit the waterhole. We did though go on an evening game drive which was OK and gave us the opportunity to see rhino but the stark contrast between the animals behaviour in Etosha (relaxed and calm) compared to here (frightened and wary) was disturbing to us (We suspected that this may be used sometimes as hunting lodge or maybe there was one nearby - we didn't want to ask).

Whilst some of the staff were very nice there were a couple who appeared a little morose." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"very smart just not quite right for us"

1 night Arrived 29 Aug 2009
"a lovely lodge very well run. some of the best accomodation we had. it just felt slightly corporate ...probably due to this being the only TV in bedroom we had.

My travelling companion was very sniffy about imported game...which I think was our problem not a problem with the lodge!" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 12 Aug 2009
"We wished we had got here earlier and given the cheetah place a miss as we only had one night.

Very luxurious and resturant posh, yet it was the only place we saw a mouse under our table! The silver service was a bit over done, but a great treat to have stuffed wildebeast.

The animals here did seem a little boring after coming from Etosha, the children loved the TV in the bedrooms." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 5 Jun 2009
"This was the friendliest lodge - all the staff were incredibly friendly. There weren't many activities, but it was a lovely place to relax, it had a very homely and relaxing feel to it. The rooms were lovely, with fridge, kettle etc. and bath & shower.

The food was lovely and wonderfully presented.

The staff were wonderfully chatty and friendly and very easy to get along with and gave the place a wonderful feel. Mr Indongo picked his staff well!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 14 Feb 2009
"Very pleasant lodge set not far from the main road, an easy drive from Windhoek.

A good viewing area enables you to see some game from the main lodge though some of the species, white blesbok, grey springbok made somewhat unusual viewing . In one of the camp's other large fenced areas ,we had a very enjoyable evening game drive.

A good spot to break up the journey to/from Etosha or the Caprivi." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 23 Sep 2008
"What a place most beautiful rooms and public areas. Welcoming and efficient staff. Beautifully presented meals with veggie option.

Not so sure about animals from other areas there, perhaps this is influenced by having just come from Etosha. We used this stop as a rest time and did very little other than a swim. Nice pool. A great place to chill out." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
