"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 18 Jul 2011
"A great lodge and great value for money!

Dinners were delicious too and we agreed that the omelettes served for breakfast were the best we had eaten, ever. There was also an amazing variety of homemade jams and marmalade and freshly cut fruit.

It was the perfect stop-over on our way back to Windhoek and a great place to unwind. and just enjoy looking at the game at the waterhole in front of the terrace. We participated in an evening drive and saw amongst others some white rhinos." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 19 Apr 2011
"This was an after-thought on our trip to break the distance between Etosha and Windhoek, which was a shame as this was a really nice place where we could have happily spent more time!

The staff were very welcoming and had specially decorated our room and dining table for us (we were on honeymoon). The rooms were good.

The attached reserve has some impressive rhino, including a cute baby white rhino, and non-native species - the black wilderbeest were particularly amusing.

A special mention should go to the poor member of staff who cleaned our impressively dirty car (courtesy of muddy Etosha roads) and left it gleaming!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 23 Oct 2010
"In retrospect, we would have preferred an additional day at Nhoma rather than making the stop here. But hindsight is 20/20. The food was spectacular as was the wine list. The sunset drive to look at animals was a waste. Sure, we saw animals.

The rhinos were feeding on the food the lodge puts out for them each afternoon, and anytime other animals were seen, the driver accelerated which merely sent the animals runnings. Dinner was superb, staff was great, but like I said, an additional day at Nhoma would have been better for us.

We could have made the drive from Nhome to Windhoek in a day." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Sep 2010
"This was a great place to finish our trip and we would thoroughly recommend it for its helpful staff, food and delightful accommodation. Chris McIntyre please note there are no longer any animal heads in the Reception Area! [Ed: Noted - thanks!]

The whole ambience of the place was great and we loved it.

The scene looking out over the Game Farm is very peaceful and many varieties of animal visit the watering hole. A great variety of birds also visit the area. Here we enjoyed an evening walk seeing dik dik, antelope and oryx en route.

Visiting the Cheetah Farm from Frans Indongo is quite a long drive, but interesting, and staying at the Lodge enables one to drive back to Windhoek Airport along tarred roads in plenty of time for afternoon flights without the necessity of having an overnight stop in Windhoek."

1 night Arrived 25 Sep 2010
"A very pleasant place for an overnight stop. Lovely happy people and ever helpful. We had a very close up view of white rhino with calves on a game drive.

There are some unusual animals here, at least, I'd not seen any. Black springbok and white blesbok." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa

"Frans Indongo Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 17 Aug 2010
"Units based upon traditional African huts - clean, bright with everything required as well as an 'enclosed' bathroom with bath and shower and a TV - don't get these at all lodges.

Not as roomy as some of the other lodges - but everything you needed was provided from chairs & table to Tea & coffee facilities.

Separate tables in restaurant - service was very good - but felt more formal than other lodges where we ate communally." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
