"New chalets at Namutoni are excellent"
The dining and bar area is very attractive and comfortable with friendly, helpful staff (our waitress Heleni was particularly friendly) and the food choice and quality was very good. The reception staff were also very helpful making contact with Bidvest when we had a puncture.
Walkways around the chalet area were well lit although getting broken where cars are driving over them. The fort tower was open and gave good views and sunset but the remainder of the viewing platform remains closed because of its condition.
The water hole is non-existent although with a covered viewing area." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana
"Hyena at dusk"
A geat improvement with the paths concreted so now there are no loose boards and it is much quieter walking to the waterhole which was as quiet and empty as ever.
Some good game viewing at waterholes at this end of the park - often on our own as fewer people around.
The room was lovely however maintenance poor - one shower head badly corroded - it wouldn't take much to either replace or remove it." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Gorgeous room. Where's the Bathroom door?"
The waterhole here is not as good as Okaukeujo or Halali but we managed to get what I think will be stunning elephant drinking shots at sunset. Just lucky. The waterholes seems overgrown to me. It limits what you can see.
The raised walkways needed maintenance. IN the US this would never be acceptable. People might fall thru those broken boards." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Close Encounter of the hyena kind"
Clean, spacious room, well decorated, bathroom excellent
Stars amazing, waterhole elephants very close so some good close ups

"Nice game drive"
"Namutoni Camp review"
The ability to drive around this part of Etosha is the big plus, the pan had large numbers of flamingo and although Chudop waterhole was disappointing this time Tsumcore more than made up for it. Several hyena were sitting in the water when a huge herd of elephant appeared (over 50).Prior to this several giraffe and warthogs. Did see a couple of lion in the side track Klein Namatoni just lazing as they do." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Namutoni Camp review"
A negative was that there was no water in camp on our first night - so there were lots of dusty grubby people around. It returned for a short spell in the morning. The staff knew but were not telling people on check in - annoying for people who only found out when they climbed into the shower, and I witnessed a man being told he could have no refund or compensation.
There weren't many animals at the waterhole, but so much to be seen outside the camp.
The credit card machines weren't working either, but park staff said I could delay paying the park fees until Halali or Okakuejo if I wanted, which was helpful." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
