"Grootberg Lodge - what a location!"
Lion sightings had caused cancellation of all hiking from the lodge.
New managers have taken over since reviewed by guide books. Beware signs of "twee-ness" - "elevator music" at dinner and beetroot paste piped round our breakfast plates went all over cutlery (and us). Isn't there any traditional Namibian music?
Elephant tracking activity was very expensive." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Grootberg Lodge review"
We did see two leopard, several giraffe, an African wildcat, and many other animals - it was a really great experience despite not seeing a rhino. We also went on a Himba trip which was very interesting and again our guides were great.
We are vegetarians and were served excellent meals on both night of our stay." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Grootberg- views!"
"The terrifying 4x4 climb is worth it"
Once again the staff could not have been more helpfull and friendly.
Beautiful Lodge building with such a nice atmosphere. It was here the staff 'choir' sang for us. Such good fun and entertaining.
The next morning our huts clung hung high on the valley rim wall while the clouds beneath us flooded the valley floor. A truly wonderful sight.
Take a dip in the swimming pool for the untimate photo opportunity: a true infinity pool.
Then came the drive back down...mmm" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Locally run lodge"
The trips available were very good, again finding desert elephant with great sensitivity. It would have been useful to know that the Himba were over a 2 hour drive away. However we were very impressed with how the camp have addressed the issues of tourists visiting the people and it felt beneficial to them as well as us - and not in the least forced.
The dancing and singing from the staff at one meal time was very entertaining" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
