"Okaukuejo Camp review"
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
"Convenient location for self drive in Etosha"
"The waterhole camp at Okaukuejo"
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
"Booking confusion"
"Okaukujejo premier water hole cabins"
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"
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
"Enjoyed stay"
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
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"
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
