"Okaukuejo Camp review"
The accommodation is fine - clean, spacious and serviced daily. The braai facility at our bush chalet is a little wasted when no crockery/cutlery/implements are provided. We ate at the camp restaurant - the buffet style food was plentiful and meat cooked to order although the quality of the food was average. Service was better than we had expected, except at reception where the staff were unhelpful.
It does feel a bit like a 1970s holiday camp so don't expect the service you will receive elsewhere in Namibia but it's definitely worth staying here for the waterhole alone." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
The facilities were excellent, the food was good, the staff were really kind and helpful and the room was fantastic and comfortable with heating/air-conditioning (I was there in June so the nights were cold).
Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
Service in the restaurant was prompt, and drinks speedily provided. Meals are all self-service. Food was good, and the range excellent. The only sadness was that there was no fruit available at one early breakfast (5.45 a.m.).
There was no problem using a credit card in the restaurant. (We had heard that this could be a little 'chaotic'.) They were clear that we swiped our own cards to avoid fraud
Spending time at their water hole was a real highlight as well as easy access to the park itself. The waterhole is brilliant during the day as well as at night.
In this location, a safe in our room would have been useful." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Good central base for Etosha"
It was pleasant to note that there was little noise around the floodlit waterhole but it was very annoying that people insisted on taking photographs of elephants at very close range (close to the stone wall around the camp) using cameras without first disabling the flash."

"Incredible wildlife, great rooms and location"
The rooms were beautiful -- we were in one of the elephant rooms about 30 m from the watering hole, which was incredibly convenient for early morning and late night wildlife viewing. It was one of the best watering holes we encountered in Etosha. The food was also delicious, and the service was very good.
I would certainly return here." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"beautiful facility"
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
We enjoyed being at the water hole and being able to get out and drive through the park.
We knew what to expect so none of it was a surprise." See all these reviews: 14n in Botswana; 12n in Namibia
"Great waterhole at Okaukuejo"
The food was buffet style and not the best compared to other camps we visited. However the camp is well located inside Estosha on the east side where there are many waterholes to visit and wildlife to view.
There is a waterhole at the camp which is floodlit at night which is great and we saw various wildlife there including elephant, rhino (5), giraffe and an owl." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

However, this was largely made up for by the fabulous watering hole, where many hours were spent watching the elephants, rhinos, zebra etc" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

We also drove to several other watering holes and enjoyed seeing the area. Our room was nice but felt a bit small and the air conditioner didn't work well.
The staff was very nice and did offer to change our room but at that point we chose to stay put." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
