"Okaukuejo Camp review"

1 night Arrived 13 Jun 2014
"Again for a public camp in the National Park we found it to be well run, clean and organised. The chalet was more basic than the one at Halali but still had all that was required. The restaurant here was lovely and again the range of food on offer was extensive. The buffet style set up is good as you can chosse what to eat, so no problem for vegetarians.

The waterhole at Okaukuejo was so much nicer than the one at Halai. There are seats and a viewing platform spread over a large area and people don't have to climb past you for a view. It seemed so much more civilised! The lighting was good as well and we saw so many elephants and Rhino's, it was amazing. You could sit out here all night if you desired.

All in all another perfectly pleasant place to stay in a good location in the park." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia

"The waterhole camp at Okaukuejo"

2 nights Arrived 28 May 2014
"Yes a large camp

We could only book two separate rooms for our two night stay and staff were most unhelpful about moving from one to the other. We asked that perhaps the new room could be made available as soon as possible but they were not in the least accommodating. We were made to be "homeless" from 10 am until 2 pm - unnecessarilly we thought.

Food was poor and waiters totally useless" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Okaukujejo premier water hole cabins"

2 nights Arrived 21 May 2014
"We were lucky enough to book a premier water hole cabin which sleeps 4 with our friends who were also travelling in Namibia at the same time as us. They had stayed at Okaukuejo twice before, and so knew that number 34 was the best place to be. They were absolutely right.

From the terrace you can see directly into the water hole, and we stayed up till midnight both nights we were there watching a progression of elephants, zebra, impala, rhinos and one night 2 lions come down to drink, as well as lots of birds. The food was adequate, and apparently had improved a lot in last 6 years, according to our friends. The 2 bedrooms were spacious and upstairs ensuite large. Sitting area small but not much time to sit around! Kettle and fridge provided.

Really must stay inside the park for a few days if you visit etosha as so good going out for early drive and coming back for breakfast at the camp." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"Best camp in Etosha"

2 nights Arrived 21 May 2014
"We stayed in Premier Waterhole chalet 34 with a balcony with a great view over the waterhole, which we highly recommend.

We have stayed at Okaukuejo twice before and they've really got their act together compared to our previous visits, especially the food, which is vastly improved. Overall our expectations were exceeded." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 6 Apr 2014
"Staff could not be bothered to even fetch a drink for you.

They didn't want to serve you in the shops
Every thing was too much effort
Good thing the petrol station accepted credit cards.
Would be better staying just outside the reserve." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 16 Feb 2014
"Again a bigger tourist camp so less personalised but it worked well and the bush chalets were roomy and had excellent air con. Nice to have a pool.

The shop was not well stocked with food supplies so not easy to find food for the braie or even lunch!

The waterhole there was the highlight of the trip." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Jan 2014
"After two wonderful private lodges this camp seemed at first somewhat basic, the staff doing their jobs without the enthusiasm we had experienced to date. However the food was good, the waterhole provided excellent wildlife and it was in fact as good as any state- owned African lodges we had previously experienced."
