"Namutoni Camp review"
The dinners were good although the menu very limited - the same two choices of main course each day.
Breakfast not as good but again very low visitor numbers and still under Covid restrictions. The pool area was good but the pool itself not particularly clean." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"Namutoni Camp review"
The food was the worst too, and unreasonably expensive. The staff was uninterested in the guests.
The high point was being greeted by a troop of banded mongoose." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Good views at watering hole"
We were told to make sure that we took inventory of room contents so we would get our deposit back, yet they would not provide us with an inventory checklist. Very distasteful, fortunately it was not an issue at checkout." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Much better than Okaukuejo"
The room was light, airy and modern and the camp itself had a much more relaxed, calm and 'open' feel to it with some well-tended gardens/green spaces. The staff were helpful and had the time to assist us when we needed it. We had a problem with our bathroom and this was resolved in a prompt, efficient and friendly manner.
By driving to the nearby waterholes we saw an abundance of big game - far richer than we could have hoped for - including five separate sightings of lion (one male with a kill, and two females with a kill), female cheetah and cubs with a kill, and a group of about 50 elephants at one waterhole."

"Namutoni Fort"
Our room was large and well-furnished, but, as with all the Etosha camps, there seems to be little maintenance (dripping taps, running toilets). The bathroom was very odd; completely open to the bedroom with a double shower and a bath! The complete lack of privacy could put off some people.
The numbers staying at Namutoni aren't that large, but it seems to attract plenty of coach parties and lodge safari trips, especially for lunch.
It's a good base from which to visit plenty of waterholes, but the one at Namutoni itself is virtually surrounded by tall reeds and, despite a new viewing area, you'd be lucky to see much here." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana

"Average camp site"
But we had a very nice room, perhaps not our favourite place on this trip." See all these reviews: 27n in Namibia; 1n in Botswana
