"Namutoni Camp review"
We stayed in a Bush Chalet and this was very comfortable and also much more convenient now that one can park next to the chalet.
This is by far the best of the three original camps in Etosha." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 8n in Zimbabwe; 1n in Botswana
"Quite a pleasant experience...."
We had some good drives from here, especially northward. I suppose it all depends on where has had some rain, but we saw ridiculous collections of giraffe (30 at one time), cheetah, some lion, plenty of elephants, eland, and then all the main culprits."

"Fort abandoned"
Namutoni is well positioned to see a good number of permanent waterhole." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana
"Namutoni Camp review"
Room/cabins although very nice inside, had only a cramped little outside terrace and no view at all. Restaurant as well as food were disappointing.
The fort itself is abandoned except for a little souvenir shop in the corner: no bar or restaurant in sight contrary to what was advertised.
Next time better to take a nice lodge outside the park, which wouldn't cost more, even if that means getting up earlier 'cause you're not allowed in the park until after sunrise." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Namutoni Camp review"
The nearest good water-hole was Klein Namutoni and we found the best plan was to go there and watch in the evenings until 7 minutes before the Namutoni gates closed and then dash back!" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Namutoni Camp review"
the maintenance of plumbing, electricity and furnishings is also strained. The facilities are disappointing as we expected the old fort to be impressive, Instead it is run down and mostly shut off to any exploring.
The generators are shut off for 2 hours in the afternoon, making AC nonexistent in the worst heat of the day (42C at times we were there). But even worse, it means the shop has to process every transaction by hand during those hours so a long line rapidly forms for guests trying to buy ice creams and soda from rapidly warming and understocked coolers."

"great water hole"
"Namutoni Camp review"

air con in rooms a major bonus" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Namutomi Camp slightly better"
Room: these have been revamped since our last visit. Our room was large, clean and the beds comfy.
Food: This was somewhat better than the rest, starters were refilled quickly and although it was the same menu, i.e. mixed veg, mashed potatoes, rice, they were of far better quality than the other NWL camps in Etosha.
Waterhole: small with few animals." See all these reviews: 27n in Namibia
"Namutoni ok for a single night"
Camp busy and watehole experience not too good with a number of thoughtless trippers." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
