The Water Chalets were pretty comfortable and the food was better than we'd expected.
And the animal sightings were great." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Great Location with excellent Water Hole"
However, this is a government run facility and it needs a makeover. The rooms were adequate and had kettle and fridge. However, our kettle was broken and despite reporting it 3 times in 2 days, never got repaired/replaced. Beds were comfortable. You could park outside the room.
The meals here were good and catered well for our needs.
We went on an afternoon game drive and saw a Cheetah as well as many other animals stated below. We also drove ourselves around the park, which was quite easy to do. Just buy a map from the shop to help you around." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"
But you don't come here for the room, or the food, but for the outstanding waterhole which provided us with hours of amazing wildlife viewing. Exceptional waterhole." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo camp ok for one night"
We did not like Okaukuejo Camp - it was too big - the rooms were the worst we had anywhere and the food (buffet style) was poor. However the staff were all very friendly. The area around the camp was good for wildlife - we saw rhino nearby as well as at the waterhole, and the next morning we saw six lion cubs at close range (with only one other vehicle in attendance)" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Exposed Okaukeujo Camp"
Excellent pool and handy having a shop there. General surroundings in the camping area need to be tidied up. Lots of wildlife on the way to the camp and afterwards. (We travelled west to east)" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Great rhino spotting"
First night meat inedible, second night different chef eland meat superb!
Service on the whole was fine. The bar was closed so one man operated in the restaurant was run off his feet but remained cheerful. When the place is busy replacement staff should have been found.
Park roads as bad as ever, if not worse, or was it the puncture that meant we felt the roads even more?
Bush chalet spacious. Hot showers at a premium, our room had an element replaced two days previously, which went again before we arrived. Got it replaced our first morning and it went again that evening. So the result was we had one hot shower in two days. Maybe there should be a rebate system? Especially when you have more than major problem?
Lucky enough to see black rhino in the bush in daylight." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
