"Oasis in the dusty Etosha desert"

1 night Arrived 1 Nov 2019
"This has the feel of a luxury country club set in a green oasis, surrounded by dry bush. The grounds were very good for birds and other wildlife.

The rooms were decent, although a bit sparsely decorated. We had problems with one of the cooler units in our adjoining rooms.

Prices for meals and drinks were too high in my opinion. Other lodges charged less for better quality. Mokuti is very conveniently located, but seems to be "milking" mass tourism and exploiting the fact that it can almost charge whatever it likes - so it does.

This was our least favourite overnight, while still enjoying it!" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

" Green oasis with excellent facilities"

2 nights Arrived 21 Aug 2017
"Larger than we expected and does have the feel of a corporate location but the staff more than make up for this.
Rooms are large, clean and very new with wonderful bathrooms.

The gardens and pool are very lovely especially when seeing bontebok, mongoose etc. so close to hand.

We found the place to be a great rest stop after a long set of travels and the Reptile Park should be mentioned - some amazing snakes e.g. black mamba and an informative guide. Do take time to see it.

Food choice is incredible and very tasty, especially the barbecue." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Home from home."

6 nights Arrived 7 Sep 2016
"What can we say about this place ?
I have heard it said it is just a hotel in the bush and yes it can get some groups staying
But for us it is just perfect the food is wonderfull, the staff just can't do enough for you and the rooms are first class
We have been lucky and stayed in some very good hotels and lodges in Namiba over a number of years
But it has to be said this place takes some beating
A credit to all concerned" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Mokuti Etosha Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2015
"Mokuti Etosha Lodge was our next stop for three nights.

It was our first experience of a 'Lodge', and having come directly to it from Okonjima, we found it to be a different kind of place. That is not to imply anything negative about it at all. Our room was attractive, comfortable and clean, the layout of the place was attractively done, the food and service were good. The beds were very comfortable and the bed-linen beautifully laundered.

And of course it was an excellent place from which to visit Etosha park." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Mokuti Etosha Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 4 Aug 2014
"We spent 2 nights here and made 2 trips into Etosha on our day there. We drove ourselves and didn't go on any guided drives.

The camp was good though much larger than Kulala and Erongo. Again the staff, room and food were all good." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Mokuti doesn't quite meet our expectations"

2 nights Arrived 29 Jul 2009
"We didn't go to the Tembo Hotel, but we did spend 2 days during our Etosha period at the Kempinski Mokuti Lodge. Quite a luxurious lodge as far as the main building and the layout goes, but the chalets themselves could do with an upgrade.

They are well fitted out, but the floor and furnishings could better match the overal level of comfort. Service was good, both in reception and at the restaurant. However, the food was at times quite disappointing, especially the evening buffet.

Because of the ambience, you would expect the food to be good quality, but that just wasn't always the case." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana
